I've had some high heat gauntlet rubberized gloves for some years now, but they are getting super stiff and at least one crack now.

Been looking at these


Anyone have an opinion or favorite pair of gloves?

Those look exactly like a pair I have, and I'm very happy with them. Quite robust and heat-resistant, and they grip food well.
Mine were a gift, so I don't know exactly the source, though I suspect they were ordered from Amazon.

Don't have the gauntlet style but these will be next for me

That's more or less what I have and they do the job.
I just picked up a pair of the Hey Grill Hey Pitmaster Gloves. Just got them today. They look great. Their sizing chart does run small. I have a pair of the big gauntlet-style gloves that I use a lot, but I wanted a pair that has more dexterity. I looked on Amazon for this style, but they're all 'washable', not coated. I like the part about leaving them on, then washing with soap and water to clean (like the gauntlet).

I'll report back on how I like them in actual use.
 
Those look nice, I just use the Milwaukee liners with latex style gloves over them. Works just fine for me lol. 👍

I looked at those. They look kind of clunky and $30. Is it hard to grab things well with them? I'm trying to do more than just grab a butt or ribs from the smoker. (I DO cook stuff like that, I just dont post pics because I've been there-done that years ago and shared the pics...it would be redundant and they pretty much all look the same!)

I like the gauntlet style for 2 reasons.

One, for washing while wearing them, less likely water will get down in the glove.

Two, I want to also use these for grilling certain things like skewers. I have a new grill now (I need to share that with that old thread I started) but historically when using the big metal skewers I have, I need to reposition them as they cook, that means grabbing them and moving them in to different spots reacting to hot spots. That can get real hot up around the forearms. I hope I can use these new gloves to simply grab skewers at both ends and plop them where I want as they need turning and repositioning. It will be interesting to see how they withstand THAT kind of heat.
 
They look good and I've been thinking about them.

I use the cheap white gloves from Harbor Freight under nitryl gloves.

I just use a pair of mig gloves for handling hot stuff.
...
I use leather gloves for handling hot dry items.
Don't work for crap lifting out out hot juicy meat. Then I go back to my HB cheapies under nitryl

Oh yea, I have an assortment of welding gloves, and leather gloves otherwise. Even though I rarely weld anymore, all the gear from having my own business still pays off!...and some is just getting in the way, I'm always tripping over my plasma cutter wondering why the heck I still have it. But I know, the instant I get rid of my plasma and portable Miller TIG setup will be the moment I wish I had them!

I'm hoping these gloves will be great for wet and heat duty for reaching around the grill with metal skewers as well as pulling pork, etc.. I like to use my hands with coated heat gloves rather than bear claws, etc. for PP.

I DID order those gloves in my OP. Like others said, if they are good, the price is great. They should be here today. I'll report back on them as soon as I get a chance to check them out.

Yeah, they are a bit "clunky". I got them for primarily handling food. They work great for that. And I like how I can wear them while washing. Just like washing your hands. Easy clean up. But I see your point about being able to grab smaller things like skewers. I really wanted the Hey Grill Hey gloves but they were sold out at the time.
