{"product_id":"weldors-workshop-students-stanton-gen-2-gloves","title":"Weldors Workshop Students - Stanton Gen 2 Gloves","description":"\u003cp\u003eFOR WELDORS WORKSHOP STUDENTS ONLY. These gloves are picked up from your instructor at Weldors Workshop in Banning, California. They do not ship. Choose your thread colour and size, enter your school code at checkout if you were given one, and select Weldors Workshop as the pickup location. Gen 2 fits true to size: order your normal size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stanton Gen 2 is what happened after we shipped Gen 1 and then called our customers. Not a survey. Actual phone calls, from Matt, to as many buyers as would pick up. A welding student in Wisconsin managed to break through Gen 1's leather in 12 days and its lining in a month, which nobody had done before, and feedback like that is exactly what a second generation is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree things changed, all of them straight from that feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sizing is fixed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen 1 ran tight on purpose, and plenty of you told us it was too much of a purpose. So we shifted the entire size run up: a Gen 2 Medium is the same physical glove Gen 1 sold as a Large, and it fits a medium hand the way a medium should. What was an XL is now a Large, and so on down the line. Measure against the sizing chart and order your true size. If you wore Gen 1 and had sized up to make it work, your normal size fits now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe metal is gone.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen 1 had a metal D-ring on the side of the glove. Gen 2 replaces it with a leather loop at the base of the gauntlet, on the wrist side. It still hangs from a hook or clips to a carabiner, but there's no metal left on the glove to catch on stock, scratch a finished surface, or sit there conducting heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore padding exactly where gloves die.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our wear data kept pointing at the same zones: the fingertips, and the stretch from the thumb crotch up to the tip of the thumb. Gen 2 adds padding on every fingertip and a padded run between the thumb and forefinger, all the way up. You give up a little dexterity — we won't pretend otherwise — and in exchange there's a lot more glove between you and the work in the exact places Gen 1 wore through first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat carries over is the recipe that made Gen 1 work. A sueded nubuck shell cut from top-grain cowhide, 0.9 to 1.0mm thick, treated against water and oil. A soft cotton lining for comfort and breathability. Kevlar® thread at every seam, in black or gold. Gunn cut fingers with flat no-rub seams, an extended gauntlet over the forearm, and an elasticated palm-side cuff that holds on while you work but lets the glove fly off when it has to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers, from ANSI\/ISEA testing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-state\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 445.2px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 6.621%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"height: 90px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1399\/4513\/files\/Frame_6.png?v=1733917173\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0215%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA CUT TEST Level A5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperior Protection Against Cuts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 6.621%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"height: 90px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1399\/4513\/files\/Frame_13.png?v=1733917311\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0215%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA ABRASION Level 4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood for enduring friction and rough surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 6.621%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"height: 90px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1399\/4513\/files\/Frame_12.png?v=1733917739\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0215%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA CONTACT HEAT Level 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher than numerous other heat-resistant gloves on the market\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 6.621%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"height: 90px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1399\/4513\/files\/Frame_11.png?v=1733917823\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0215%; height: 111.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGRAM SCORE of 6630\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Strength against tears and punctures, more than many other gloves on the market\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/1898leather.com\/pages\/gloves-certifications-explained\" title=\"leather welding gloves certifications\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCertifications - Learn More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/1898leather.com\/pages\/gloves-features-explained\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFeatures - Learn More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are heavy duty welding gloves for stick, MIG, and TIG, and they hold up to forging and grinding too.
