Are these gloves flexible enough to steam iron very small fabric seams and protect my fingers?(I'm tired of burning my fingertips)

You may be ok for grasping a steam iron, I wouldn't expect full dexterity in grasping thread, etc, but they are fairly tactile, although there is a seam toward the fingertip that may be problematic.

I would believe so, their is no other labor involved correct? Because if so, they'd not be as useful as you think.

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

I wondered about that, too! However, the gloves are really longer than they appear: about 3-1/2" to 4" long in the cuff. They cover just the right amount. For example, when I use the gloves to open a boiling pot, the steam has no effect on me. They are truly just long enough. I have put my hands into the oven to take out a dish without pulling out the oven tray and had no ill effects. I've used them grilling and experienced absolutely no discomfort when cooking. These gloves wash up wonderfully, and I use them every single time I cook, every single day. You will appreciate having two pair. I honestly cannot find one bad thing to say about these gloves.

Hi Jehlen, These are good for wicking away sweat, also since fingers are in thin cloth, it gives protection from blisters too and super comfy. But they are not compression.

I think they should be fine (I have small hands and the fingers are a bit too long for me)...Should work fine with your computer...Just want to update: Mine work fine with my laptop--touchpad as well as iphone and other touchscreens... I was surprised to find they did not work with the touchpad on my sister's laptop... Not sure what the difference would be, but if that is your main use-- you might look into the usb-powered fingerless gloves on Amazon...

I use these leather gloves for working around the bbq heat no problem. These should work for you for your mirror removal task. You might also want to take a look at "fillet glove" for a skoosh more dexterity, these gloves are used to protect hands from knife when processing fish.

They are flexible. If you look in the product photos, you will see a photo where both hands are balled up in "thumbs up" fists. There are a lot of silicone mitts you cannot do that way, but you can do our Super Flex Silicone Oven Mitts like that. We can do that because most of the mitt is designed to be thin enough to be really flexible. There are thicker raised areas (the circle and spokes) spread out in the main palm and thumb areas. These thicker raised areas are what normally make contact with the hot surfaces of pots and pans. But even the areas without the raised areas give really good heat resistance. Silicone is really that good at insulating. Add in the quilted comfort lining, and you have even more heat resistance. Hope that helps! :)

Yes they are somewhat flexible. I have not used them yet. I purchased them to move meat off the grill and to hold on to meat while I cut it. They are not as flexible as thin gloves. But to handle big items it will work. I have big hands and they are a little tight. I wish they came in several sizes.

It's "cumbersome", and no, they will not likely stand up to the use of chemicals. You will have to put up with gloves designed for chemical resistance. Sorry.

Hi Lynn, Yes, you sure can use them as oven gloves. I usually use them like that and also when stirring over a steaming saucepan. I think they're great as they let me get a good safe grip on the hot items and protect from steam as well.

I am not expert but I think these gloves would be perfect because you don't want to touchthe paper with your fingers as you could get oil onto the paper.

I would say yes, they protect from gasoline. I use them to protect my hands from hot water with strong soap.

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

Yes u could use them for that. They would certainly protect ur hands from the heat or fire.

I wouldn't recommend these at all for hot weather ... They are thick and do not breathe well. Try looking for a knit material glove with the nubby palm for grip.

they do cover some but i'm thinking if they don't they would still do the job of giving you great relief and confort i think it would be worth it to try them. I really believe these gloves would work for you. Hope this help with your decision.
