After a while, heres what I found about glove wear

So, Im the founder, but Im not a welder.   I knew gloves are disposable items, but what I didnt know is just how differently each customer would wear them out over time.

For most people (thank God), the leather welding gloves outlast every other pair they have bought, they look feel better and hopefully those who buy them at least, think they look better.

For most, but there are still some monsters out there.

The best guy we have at destroying things is a student in a welding school in Wisconsin, who was able to break the leather in 12 days and after 1 month, get through the kevlar (a first).   

Another guy, an influencer, couldnt hang because the heat is too much on the knuckle area.    We found out later that this problem is with EVERY pair of his gloves, and they do make heat shields but he prefers not to use them.

I have an influencer now I call friend, who has an extra fresh pair laying around, but he loves to use the ones from 6+ months ago that hes worn through and through and they look so tough, its like Terminator from the end of the movie, where these nothing but the skeleton left.

In any case, we want to, and try to, gather all feedback from all people who can wear down our gloves.   This feedback comes straight to me (Matt) and than to our leather maker (Paul) on the next version.   Those who give us feedback, I give discounts to on future pairs.    Together, we make it better

 

We take notes and have chats with everyone that is willing to talk to me
