    Comments about Fireman's Shield Gloves:

    This is the best item I ever purchased from Plow & Hearth! It holds a huge amount of logs and the extra large wheels carries it from the woodpile to the house very easily. I'm only 5" tall and weigh around 100 lbs. and I can easily load it and move it with ease. A couple of trips to the woodpile will load a ½ cord of wood in no time!

    Protecting your wrist and forearms is a must when loading wood in the burning stove. The burning scares will stop now.

      Bought these gloves for my husband for Christmas. He said they were the best and uses them for everything. They protect you great when adding/rearranging the logs. Great for the firepit area also. Great product!

            Comments about Fireman's Shield Gloves:

            We have a large Lopi fireplace insert that you really have to lean into with your tools to adjust the logs. These opera length 'gauntlets' are fabulous! They spare my arms (almost to the elbow) from any heat at all. But the best part is that they don't get tough to the touch on the outside. Mine are still as soft as when they were new, and they've seen hard service during this past cold and rainy Winter! I used to buy a new pair of gloves every year -- because they wore out in one season. This will be my second season with these gloves and there are no holes, burns or marks on them. They are something you don't see much of nowadays : EXCELLENT Quality, and NOT planned obsolescence. I highly recommend these gloves.

            The only down side for me is that the fingers are a little too long for a woman's hand. But, this is a small matter, as long as I am spared from burns and heat ;)

              My Texan husband has a large BBQ pit that he cooks with a lot. He uses the gloves to move the meat around, remove the grill to add more wood, and clean up a hot grill afterwards. I have used these gloves to add and reposition wood to a small woodstove. They are great!

              Comments about Fireman's Shield Gloves:

              This product was a bit expensive and I had hoped for more heat protection. I hate using a poker and bought these to replace the inexpensive ones from a local hardware store. They work, but the heat transfers to the hand inside the glove more quickly than the inexpensive ones with little warning.

                    Our fireplace burns so hot that it's hard to use regular fireplace tools, hands get too hot. Using these gloves prevents that from happening, my husband thinks they were a great gift!

                        I bought a pair from Plow & Hearth about 4 years ago that were great. I replaced them with these gloves. The new ones were so bad, I sent them back after 2 weeks. As I said to Plow & Hearth, these gloves are not worthy of having your name on them! The stitching melted! The leather shriveled up from the heat! The gauntlet was 4" shorter than my old pair! The insulation was minimal! The description said you can pick up a burning log with them, but, I certainly would never do that... I'm still using my old beat-up gloves, which are better than these gloves.

                                      My husband used to use BBQ gloves for placing logs in the fire, rotating them, etc. These gloves are a more suitable replacement.

                                        Exactly as presented. This was our second pair. They are in constant use in the winter. The only decent pair I could find
