Question 1

Has anyone used these gloves around a heat source?  I'm wondering if I can use these gloves with a campfire - i.e. to pick up a burning log or ember.

Accepted Answer

These gloves are not designed to protect against flame or heat. The outer shell of the glove is made of synthetic materials that will drip or melt when exposed to sparks or flames. The innermost layer of Kevlar is heat resistant in addition to cut resistant, however, since the outer glove is can drip and melt it does not function in this application. Please know that Youngstown does offer a number of gloves that are Flame and Heat resistant. Any our our leather gloves that are lined with Kevlar are flame, heat, cut and puncture resistant.

Question 2

what country are they made in?

Accepted Answer

These gloves are made in China.

Question 3

Would these protect while working with concrete pavers? Other gloves get torn up by the rough edges

Accepted Answer

Yes but only so much. Concrete pavers and bricks and block are probably the single toughest applications for gloves. Those rough edges just tear up all forms of gloves. What you will get with this glove is great Protection in that process. The alternative is to go through a pair -or 3 pairs -per day of the lowest cost glove you can find and use. Compare that use and cost vs this General Utility w Kevlar. I think your spend will be close to even but you'll use 1 pair instead of 7 or 8. You have a tough application for sure. I am not sure there is a perfect glove out there for such a tough task. It I do know we'll last longer than others and keep your hands safer. It is up to you if that cost per pair is worth it. Thank you for considering Youngstown Glove.

Question 4

how do these gloves work with hot roasted oysters and the juice that spills when shucking them?

Accepted Answer

The back of the gloves contain the Kevlar to prevent chainsaw nicks and cuts. They are not designed to deal specifically with heat. The good news is there are other kinds of gloves that serve this purpose.
