I am really pleased with these high-quality oven mitts! I bought some before that seemed decent while I was in the store, but I would end up getting burned while using them. These mitts are plush and thick. Plus, the tacky material (made into a good looking pattern) helps with gripping. I have not washed them, so I do not know how well the material holds up (I will edit and add that info later). The inside of the gloves are super soft, so they are comfortable on my hands. I am so glad I purchased these!
