Why Goatskin? Feel, Dexterity and Durability

Goatskin is why these gloves feel so good on the hand. It is one of the strongest, most supple leathers available, with natural lanolin that keeps it soft and flexible. That gives you high tactile feel and finger dexterity without giving up abrasion resistance, exactly what you want in goatskin work gloves for handling parts, running power tools, and detailed shop work. It runs thinner and more sensitive than cowhide, so you feel what you are doing while the leather still holds up to daily wear.

TrueFit Fit and Features

The TrueFit design pairs the goatskin palm with a breathable, form-fitting spandex back and an elastic cuff with hook-and-loop closure, so the glove hugs your hand for a low-bulk, second-skin feel. A rough-side-out double palm adds grip and life, and reinforced thumbs, leather fingertips, and side bolsters protect the areas that wear first. Per Tillman’s product data, the 1470 carries ANSI Level 6 abrasion resistance, Level 5 puncture protection, and A2 cut resistance, strong numbers for a glove this thin.

When to Use the 1470 vs a Heavier Welding Glove

Be clear on what this glove is for: dexterity, not heat. The 1470 is a mechanics and performance glove, great for fabrication handling, assembly, maintenance, and power-tool work, but it is not a welding glove and has no heat rating. For MIG, stick, or any high-heat work, reach for a proper welding glove. Shop the welding gloves collection for heat-rated options, or the Tillman welding gloves range.
