The Best Heat-Resistant Gloves of 2018 (in under 3 minutes)

Deciding on the Best Heat-Resistant Gloves:

Don’t expect to find your average pair of oven mitts on this list. We’re looking at the best heat-resistant gloves of 2018 on an industrial scale.

These are gloves that are designed and tested to not only protect your hands from hot surfaces but also be worn for an 8 to 12 hour shift.

We based our list of the best heat-resistant gloves and sleeves of 2018 on two criteria:

1. Is this glove a best seller?
2. Is this glove a fan favorite

We managed to narrow it down to these five products, presented by Matt Burtney, in under three minutes.
