I was looking for my gloves gas grill and accurately found with this right. At first I had barbecue gloves made of thick suede that were unfortunately extremely rigid and have caused no joy when handling. The Culinario are, despite their thickness, yet very flexible and fiddling with the barbecue tongs is not a problem. The heat protection is more than adequate. I usually glove size 8 and this one size fits very well to me. Would I buy again at any time!
