These gloves are heat and flame resistant however, they are not designed to withstand the wear and tear of welding and are better suited for the kitchen, grille, or kiln if you are a potter.

When it comes time to buy heat-resistant gloves, you want to ensure you get the right pair for your needs. To help, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide that covers everything you need to consider to get the best set. The most significant factor to consider is the protection level they offer. The protection level of a glove relates to the highest temperature it can resist. Generally, gloves range from a low temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit to a high temperature of 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The higher the temperature rating, the more protection the gloves will offer. Next, to ensure you don’t drop a hot pot, you want a glove with good comfort and a snug fit. Look for lightweight and flexible gloves that still offer the level of protection you need, and make sure to read size charts and measure your hands before purchasing to ensure you get a good fit. Also, the material of a glove determines its durability and heat resistance. Look for gloves made of fire-resistant materials, such as Kevlar, leather, or silicone, and any good glove should have a 100% cotton lining for added comfort. Lastly, the price. Generally, the higher the protection level offered, the more expensive the gloves are. So, your task is finding a balance between gloves that provide the right level of protection and the reach of your budget.
