   I just looked on the website and didn't find a deal like that.  I'm not   
   a fan of the cheap split leather welding gloves, but if they were that   
   cheap I might learn to live with it.   
      
   That being said, my second favorite pair of welding gloves is a long   
   cuff split leather Tillman.  The cuff goes part way up my bicep which   
   means I could properly protect my arms with out changing shirts or   
   putting on some welding sleeves.  I have two pair, and both pairs have   
   cooked fingers.  LOL.
