Is this waterproof ie if i dip my hand wearing these gloves in boiling liquid (or hot soup falls on it etc) will it get through to my hands or not?

If you use the gloves to reach into boiling liquid they will not leak through. I used the gloves to safely scoop a turkey out of broth.

My mother and I haven't used it around anything along those lines. We mainly use them for baking and taking trays and pans out of the oven. I'm sure if hot soup fell on the glove it would be fine but as to dipping into the boiling liquid I would recommend no.

It will not. They have a silicone outside and cloth inside. You should be fine if you spill something hot on them. I would not suggest immersing them in boiling liquid however!

I pulled jar after jar out of a canning boiling water bath in absolute comfort. I was amazed.

I would say so. They're really waterproof. The only inconvenient is that if they're getting wet inside they'll stay wet for a long time. I think you can wear a pair of thinner gloves underneath if you often have to take the hand out of the glove.

Hi! No, it is not leak proof. When traveling with it I take extra precaution to not fill it too close to the top as well as snuggling it between other things so that it will have less chance of spillage. Otherwise, I try to plan meals for the thermal cooker with foods that aren't so liquid-y, like stews or pottage-type lentil stew...not really soups. You may still get a little spillage inside the cooker but that is why the manufacturer recommends placing a folded paper towel on the bottom. If you have sauces you might want to consider placing them in sealed containers then in the cooker to keep temp. Have not tried but just a suggestion. Hi! No, it is not leak proof.

The nubs are molded onto the flat rubber palm and thumb. The rest of the glove is woven. I don't see why you couldn't use it in water. I don't know how well the 1/8" nubs would distribute shampoo.

cannot say with 100% confidence it is fully waterproof as i have no tested it. The top portion is a fleece type material which I suspect will absorb any type of liquid. For washing I used a gentle cold cycle. On the issue with drying I ran it through at least 4 cycles of low heat.The issue was with the top fleece portion which seems to collapses into a ball inside the nylon portion so at end of the 1rst, 2nd & 3rd cycles I ended up with a semi dry nylon section and a very damp to almost still wet fleece section. At the end of each cycle I spread open the fleece are so it would be exposed again. As I said it took 4 cycles but it did dry completely cannot say with 100% confidence it is fully waterproof as i have no tested it.

They are heat resistant so you can handle food. They are silicon on the outside so I would say waterproof in that respect but you could end up with water inside if it goes in where your hands go in and it may not be too comfortable.

I also believe the gloves are silicone and have some heat resistant insulation inside but I can't answer your specific questions on the BPA or the max temp. I have used these to handle meats out of the smoker and the oven without issue. They clean up well but it seems the insulation is starting to break down a little after a few months of use.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

I would say yes. These gloves are lined, and do an excellent job of keeping water out. I've tried other manufacturers, but none have been effective as Glacier Glove. Even after a good day of fishing in rough surf conditions, my hands are kept dry by these gloves. Water could leak in through the cuff if you completely submerged them, but otherwise these gloves do an excellent job of keeping water out.

No. It is not waterproof. if you spill significant quantity of oil or liquid onto it then it will seep in your clothes

I wash them weekly in the washer with my clothes, so they should be fine in that regard. They aren't waterproof, per se, more like..resistant. In my line I get a lot of fuel on my hands and this keeps most of it off, but there is definitely a dampness.

They should work just fine, they are water proof as advertised. They are also made for tough work, the fingers have leather protecting from ware n tear and outer is a stretch material for easy movement. They are suppose to keep hands warm unfortunately like all gloves fingers will get cold!!

Hi, fellow member of the "Leonard" club. The glove is not waterproof and I believe, but don't know for sure, that the glove would float for a while, from air temporarily trapped in the glove. Don't forget that right handed folks wear the glove on the left hand. Good luck, Leonard Kay

I don't think so. The back of the gloves are not waterproof. They are a stretchy material. And I don't think the rubberized side is tough enough to deflect needles, broken glass, or other things you might encounter in a trash pick up. These are great gardening gloves, but I think you need something more industrial.

I never submerged my hands past the cuff, but I'm sure if you secured the end with some kind of waterproof tape, it would work. In the winter, I clean and fill horse water buckets, a water trough, and chicken water containers daily - my hands get pretty wet; I have used these gloves through the whole winter and the inside of the gloves never became damp. I am very happy with them.

We use these cooking over a campfire and have had no problems with our hands getting warm or hot. Hope this helps.
