This mitt works fine for me. I was worried that the size would be too small after reading the previous review. I don't have forearms as big as Popeye, but I am a 300 pound man and I have no problem with the fit of this mitt. This mitt really comes in handy when I'm dumping the hot coals into the grill.

I bought these because I'm always burning my arms when I remove bread from my oven. These gloves cover my arms to the elbow and are flexible enough to allow me to handle bread pans easily. The price is outstanding; I saw the same thing at one of the chain home stores for $7.99 each.

These mitts are good quality. Problem is that the thumbs are way to short and narrow rendering these mitts virtually useless. Do yourself a favor and go to a store where you can try stuff like this before you buy.

There is a reason this mitt is relatively cheap. The shape of it is very strange. It does not fit my hands at all. I have fairly wide hands and this mitt feels very ackward. It is tight to get into and the thumb is too short. I would return it except the postage would cost me more than the mitt did. I would suggest you buy in person someplace where you can put your hands in it first.

I made the mistake of hanging my old Weber mits on the wall and going with some new silicone mits that my wife bought me as a present. I figured they would do a better job. Plus, for some jobs like taking chicken off the rotisserie, I would be able to wash them easier. After all, they were the latest and greatest.

Well I'm back to the old Weber mits again. I found that the silicone mits did not give me as positive of grip plus I found that although they seemed to provide more short-term protection against heat, the silicone mits themselves will get hot and then they retain the heat. In other words, if you were doing something that that would heat up the Weber mit all you had to do was back away and the mit itself would cool off almost immediately. That is not the case with the silicone mits, once they heat up, they stay hot and it keeps adding up until you can't stand to have your hands in them any more. That's why I came back to the Weber mits.

This is a very nice mitt, although not as good as another one I have which is a bit heavier. Still a good buy, though.

I got this because I use the Weber kettle grill with the wide bowl and I need to be able to reach over the hot coals so, this mit does the trick. A well made product.

Do yourself a favor and buy a real heavy duty BBQ mitt. This one looks nice and fits well, but it starting burning one night and I threw it out.

This is the second Weber Mitt that I've tried. They both burned through within two weeks. There are other, heavier-duty mitts avaiable that will last a lot longer.

While the mitt is beautiful and the price is right, it is narrow. Most mitts flare towards the opening, this one does not. I have larger forearms and it won't fit all the way up. My husband has average sized arms and it won't go around his upper forearm either. Since they are so long they go almost to your elbow.
