Why you'll love them: The
Grill Armor Gloves have the highest heat resistance rating of all of the gloves in our guide as long as you are handling dry items.
This is not our first time writing about the Grill Armor Gloves. They also made an appearance in our oven mitts buying guide.
What sets this product apart is that it features meta-aramid and para-aramid fabric insulation. These are the same fabrics known by the brand names Nomex and Kevlar respectively. What makes these fabrics so special? They keep the gloves from catching fire or melting when exposed to flames. The interior is comfortable cotton, and the exterior has easy-gripping silicone.
These EN407 certified gloves are resistant to a whopping 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The mitts are machine washable. And, if you are not happy with them, Grill Armor Gloves will refund your money. These gloves come in red, black, blue, and gray.
Compared to the pot holders and oven mitts The Wirecutter tested, the Grill Armor Gloves offered the best dexterity and maneuverability. The reviewer also found that the gloves probably are not heat resistant up to 932 degrees Fahrenheit since the tester could only hold a 400-degree cast iron skillet for eight seconds with it.
In Amazing Ribs' heat resistance tests, the gloves could handle 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 20.5 seconds. The reviewer was able to handle burning cedar logs and hot briquettes with the gloves but warned against using them while wet since they are made of fabric.
More than 1,000 buyers on Amazon have left four- or five-star reviews of the Grill Armor Gloves. Scott Phillips, the most helpful reviewer, appreciated that the mitts offer better heat protection than others he's tried. Other buyers liked that they could easily use all of their fingers.
However, there were a few complaints about a strong odor coming from the gloves when first removed from the packaging. Yet, the scent dissipates over time.
Pros: Heat resistant to 932 degrees, good dexterity, lifetime warranty
Cons: Do not protect you when wet
