welding cloths, when it is hot out Options

[obscurity]

I was just curious what people are welding in during the summer months. I am in Atlanta so it has been 95deg +/- in my garage which makes wearing long sleeves and long pants unbearable. Is everyone else just toughing it out or do you all have air conditioned garages? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

These are the gloves I use. They are for tig welding, but I like them becuase they fit snugly, are easy to do most any work in. I do go through 4-5 pair a year, but I do this work all dya long, and these gloves are not intended to be used for all the metal work so they are not as thick as heavier gloves. They do however provide your hands all the protection they need, and for the average DIY'er would last a good while. They also have an elastic/velcro strap on the wrist. I personally do not like open cuff gloves, and have had sparks and slag fall in them. This velcro cuff colses tighhly and prevents tht from happening. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For those of you who do TIG weld a lot, these gloves are thicker than the Tillmans I prefer for TIG work, but are still one of the better options IMHO.

This company also has a full line of jackets, other gloves and all types of saftey gear
