Weber Style 6456 Heat Resistant BBQ Grill Gloves - Heavy Duty Oven Mitts for Grilling, Smoking, Cooking & Outdoor Camping Use

My wife and I are very pleased with these gloves. I looked pretty thoroughly for a while for oven mitts that fit these preferences:1) Thumb NOT on same plane as the fingers so as not to obstruct motion.2) Not silicone (I'm not impressed with the one we have - it transfers heat too easily).3) Well insulated.4) Something that covers past the wrist to protect the lower arm while reaching into the oven.At first I didn't know what to think of getting gloves - I had mitts in mind. But, while I don't think that being gloves contributes much beyond what mitts would offer, I'm pleased to say that these gloves satisfy my desires well.I noticed that some reviewers make mention of these transferring heat to quickly such that it caused them discomfort. We haven't experienced this to be a significant problem. I just transferred one of the wracks in the oven after the oven was heated to 375. I had to jiggle it out from the top position and jiggle into the middle one. It probably took about 5-7 seconds. I felt no heat at all through the gloves while I know that our silicone mitts would have caused me at least some discomfort. Granted, 375 isn't that hot, but in my experience of use these protect us more than enough.Now naturally, if you do hold something really hot with these for a more than, say, 10 seconds, you will start feeling heat - not enough to burn you yet, likely, but heat nonetheless. But I don't find that to be unreasonable for something like these, and I doubt that other products in this price range will perform much better. If that is a problem for you, then maybe you should look at something more industrial strength than a product like this.In any case, I recommend them.
