I want to make sure these gloves are not real thin material. I use them as a liner under rubber gloves to protect from heat when making cheese.

They are probably thinner than what you are looking for. They aren't as thick as some cotton gloves that would keep your hands warm that I had when I was younger.

They are thin for that! They are very nice cotton gloves but they are not going to protect you from hear.

The Cara gloves are quite thin. For me, a better choice was the GO cotton parade gloves (CP-250-XXL) sold by the dozen. Check out the reviews to decide on your size. I went with the XXL because these cotton gloves (either) brand tend to run small. Go luck.

I can't advise you on this matter, however I tend to believe they may be suitable. Please follow the reccomended heat advised by the manufacturer. The fit of the glove should be coverage against splatter or spill, in most cases. I feel fairly confident in personally using these for the use you describe.

I've used the gloves as oven mitts, to protect my forearms when I reach way back into the oven. They work perfectly for my purpose. As to sharp objects, I can't say, but they are made of fairly thick suede leather, to prevent burns, and I would imagine it would take a very sharp object, propelled with considerable force, to penetrate them. I wouldn't use them as gauntlets for protection from saber thrusts, or to shuck oysters, however.

They are made of a thin neoprene composite. They are meant as warm weather gloves. Standing in street they would help but not as riding gloves

The gloves I received are for light heavybag training or mitt work. They're no more than 10oz. Also they are MMA style which has the exposed thumb. They are a large. Good gloves for a warm up mitt work session. Not really worth risking a fractured/broken thumb on heavybag though. Hope this helps!

They are very flexible so I'm not sure they would provide enough protection. The material is much like a thick stretchy winter glove

If you find out, let me know. My gloves started to come apart at the seams after light use.

These are the thickness and composition of like a surgical glove. They might melt if They come in direct contact with the iron, but they might help protect from steam.

They're not really winter gloves, they're single layer - faux suede palms and cloth back. I use them through the summer so If you're looking for heavier gloves SSG makes another style that is lined that you'd be better off with.

Joe, I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

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 think so. I bought them to wear so my hands wouldn't come in direct contact w/rubber or plastics. The gloves are thin enough that you can easily move your fingers but heavy enough to protect transfer of allergens.

Obviously it would have helped if you had mentioned WHICH blue ones. As it is, there are several different oven and grill gloves made of woven heat resistant materials (NOMEX and KEVLAR) with silicone coatings and liner. Hard to compare any two without buying both. For the most part, the main difference is probably just the brand and individual designs. There ARE junk ones out there, like the 'magic glove' that pops up on DailySteals and other closeout sites that doesn't use the better heat resistant material and often end up with melting 'silicone' when used on pots or pans right out of the oven.

I don't see a need for a lining under the glove. I can pickup the food directly off the grill with the gloves. The Big Green Egg can reach extrem high temperatures and I have had no concerns with the gloves protecting my hands. I have received several emails from a customer representative from the company ensuring my satifation with the gloves...this was unprompted but I must say it reassured me that I made the right choice. Try emailing the company directly with any questions that you still have.

I can say that the gloves leave enough room for a thinner liner (fabric Gloves, not an oven mitt). How long you can hold a hot item depends on several variables, I found that I could hold onto an item for a minute or two (steel object, 350 F) before the heat was too much. You will then need to let your gloves cool off if you push it to the max. (By the way I used the gloves without a liner for my time, you would extend it with a liner).

Absolutely. This is what my daughter ususally uses them for, and they hold up very well. There is a caveat though. If the outer surface of the bag is really rough, you will need to cover the area you're striking on, or you may end up marring the surface of the gloves. As my daughter's bag is fairly smooth, I've seen no marks on the gloves besides normal wear.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually plunged my hands in fryer grease while wearing the gloves, but they are very, very heavy duty and are longer than the average rubber glove so I would expect they would be pretty good for that purpose.
