Hobart Adds Four New Glove Options to Full Line of Welding & Metalworking Apparel

(PRWEB) May 27, 2010 -- Hobart Welding Products (http://www.hobartwelders.com/) has added four new glove options to its full line of personal safety products — Form-Fitted MIG Welding gloves, Premium Welding/Multi-Use gloves, Premium Work/Multi-Use gloves and a Value Pack containing a pair of Mechanics gloves (http://www.hobartwelders.com/products/accessories/welding-gear/) and a pair of Welding gloves (http://www.hobartwelders.com/products/accessories/welding-gear/).

The new gloves all feature Hobart’s characteristic commitment to comfort, protection and durability with heavy-duty stitching, top-quality leather and ergonomic design — all at an affordable price.

All three new glove styles and the Value Pack are available through farm/ranch and hardware/tool retailers in the US and Canadian markets.

•    Form-Fitted MIG Welding Gloves — These gloves feature a patent-pending design that fits the contours of the hand for exceptional comfort and maneuverability. They are lined with a flame-retardant cotton fleece and feature an indented foam back with perforated leather for maximum breathability as well as a flame-retardant canvas duck cuff to protect the wrist and lower forearm. These gloves are sewn using Kevlar thread for excellent durability. The Form-Fitted MIG Welding gloves retail for $22.99.

•    Premium Weld/Multi-Use gloves — Designed for welding and general purpose metalworking applications, these gloves are made from a combination of top-grain cowhide and pigskin to provide both comfort and durability. These versatile gloves are unlined and feature an adjustable wrist strap. They are sewn with Kevlar thread and offer a padded palm and reinforced thumb area. These gloves retail for $19.99.

•    Premium Work/Multi-Use gloves — Featuring a padded palm and reinforced thumb area, these multi-purpose gloves are made with genuine American deerskin and suitable for a wide variety of uses. These are the same gloves that are offered in the value pack. They are not intended for welding. These gloves retail for $14.99.

•    Welding & Premium Work/Multi-Use Gloves Value Pack — Containing two pairs of Hobart’s Economy Welding Gloves and one pair of the Premium Work/Multi-Use gloves, this value pack offers a $19.98 savings compared to buying all three pairs of gloves separately. Hobart’s Economy Welding Gloves feature split-leather construction with finger welting and a light cotton lining. The Value Pack retails for $22.99.
