BASIC REVIEW---
Typically wearing a large, they fit perfectly. Absolutely no break in period required. Extremely comfortable. Easy on/off without too much hassle.
Perhaps some trouble finding a place to stick them when not wearing them. Running some wire, or other non-flammable material, through the grommets and hanging them off a D-ring on your belt may alleviate this problem.
WELDING REVIEW---
Insulation pads in forearms really do allow you to rest on hot surfaces while working. it gets hot, but tolerable. Suffice it to say they get rather warm after prolonged work. hands will sweat.
Being a bit oafish and heavy handed I have ruined my off-hand glove thinking I can use it to just flip that piece of hot work over real quick. You don't feel the heat so you think its fine until you look at your glove after a few days and notice a bunch of large, glaring holes in the black portions.
Works great for 4F/4,5,6G, as it seems designed that way.
Watch the black portions as they seem more susceptible to extreme heat/spatter/molten droplets than the yellow portions, I see scarring all over the yellow, but holes pretty much all over the black portions that catch all my spatter. If you're the kind of welder that just doesn't ever produce spatter/molten droplets, even in overhead, then disregard this portion.
Kevlar stitches hold up very well to touching very hot work. A few frayed ends and some portions completely burned away but they don't unravel.
NON-WELDING REVIEW---
Heat tolerance combined with coverage and flexibility means they work very well for pretty much any job that requires you touching hot work. Baking, cooking, BBQ-ing, fire pits, whatever you can think of. Just don't expect to use them in these situations for long periods of time without suffering some sort of damage to the gloves.
