I like the feel of the expensive welding gloves but not the price. I have learned a new trick. I save my old gloves that are usually worn out on only one side. When I wear a hole in a new pair, I cut a finger off of the old and cover the whole finger of my newer glove. I use spray adheasive to keep my patch in place. It extends the life of gloves buy at least 5 times for me.
