These gloves are great. I bought them to use with our dutch oven that we use camping. I am able to remove the HOT lid easily with them. They are a little small for my large hands but I am to work with them.
Quality product:
These gloves are heavy-duty and priced right. There is a cloth lining and they fit a man-sized hand easily. Since there's only one pice of leather seperating you from the heat, I think the rating would be 450 dgrees for under 10 seconds.

Great Gloves:
I had high expectations for these gloves, and they did not disappoint. I'll admit that I burn myself a LOT, and that's why my husband insisted we get these gloves. They are GREAT for camping, grilling, and dutch oven cooking. Anything, really, that deals with hot equipment. They are lined inside, very soft, and very comfortable. When we're cooking together, we share: he will take the left glove and I will take the right, and we're both protected.
functional:
the service was quick. the gloves work for most hot things but not when gripping iron cast cookware for more than a few seconds.
