When I am in my shop tig welding, cool looking tig welding gloves are not on my list of priorities.
* I need to be able to pick up my wire when i drop it on the floor.
* I need to be able to sharpen a piece of tungsten without taking my gloves off.
* I need to be able to weld without cooking my hand, and i need to be able to feel .030" wire feed with my fingers.
* and i dont want to pay a lot for all that because I may need to mig weld occasionally when i cant find my heavy gloves.
The Miller gloves appear to be very high quality, and a long lasting glove and I am sure they will sell plenty of them.
I am probably going to stick with my Steiner or Tillman gloves for a while. Unless my wife reads this and gets me a pair of Miller gloves.
