I use the gloves mainly as potholders spare in the kitchen, now more than a year. I think the gloves very well, they sit tight (but not too small), thus you have a good feeling when gripping. The gloves I have already washed several times at 30 ° C in the washing machine - it survived without any problems. Whether I get a baking sheet from the oven or a hot pot take hold - works great. Only you have to be careful that no hot steam (pronounced humidity) coming from the pot lid on the gloves - that goes by otherwise directly and one scalded. I would buy again.
