Received these and instantly discovered that I hadn't read the whole advertisement. The gloves are truly great quality - which why I gave them a 5, but what I didn't think to check was the size. These are huge. They'd be good for backyard grilling, stoking up a fireplace, or, if you're lucky to have one, putting pizzas in and out of a stone oven. :) Just a warning to check the size...these are too big to store in my kitchen - to ackward to handle small dishes.

Great construction, solid materials, good padding, nice length, but narrower at the mouth than I was expecting. I might have to make a 2 inch cut at the inside seam to allow my hands to get right in, not that I'm Popeye or anything. Other than that though, very nice mitts.

The glove I received is around 16" long, not 13". It is way too big for my hand, and I have a hard time grasping anything with it.

As the previous reviewer pointed out, the tag says it can handle 450 degrees, not 650, but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Unless you're a man with large hands, I recommend Lodge's Max Temp Handle mitt instead.

I'm generally pleased with this item, but am disappointed that it is NOT rated for 650 degrees as the Amazon description states. Rather, the tag states that it is only rated for 450 degrees. So, just take this into account before you buy.
