The Ove Glove is great for the kitchen, the barbeque and handling other hot surfaces around the house or projects around the home. The Ove Glove dramatically extends the time you can handle a hot object in your hands. The tough exterior layer of the glove is made of aramid fibers (the generic name for trademarked Kevlar) and silicone stripes. It is designed as a thermal insulator to slow the temperature increases in the soft, double-knit cotton interior of the glove. If exposed to an open flame, the outer layer of the glove is flame resistant and does not melt. Five finger flexibility and machine washable protection up to 540 degrees Fahrenheit.
