Excellent product
You can literally pick up a burning log with these. My husband has had a pair for almost 40 years and they are as good as new—just dirty. Bought these for son-in-law. Just as good only cleaner.

Tough gloves
Really great fireplace gloves. This is the third pair I have bought (two were gifts). Highly recommend.

Inside fabric is NOT plaid!
The gloves are lovely, they fit nicely and are of good quality. However the fabric on the inside is solid red, not plaid which drew me to purchase them.

A step down from Bean's old fireplace gloves
My previous LL Bean fireplace gloves lasted ~25 years before developing a couple of holes in the fingertips, so I had high hopes for the new gloves. Unfortunately, I don't like the new ones as well their predecessors for two reasons: (1) they're smaller - I have pretty large hands, and it's a very snug fit, and (2) they're much lighter in color (see photo, new gloves on the right). The LL Bean catalog portrays them as two-tone with the sleeve being lighter, but in fact they're lighter throughout, and the light color shows the ash and soot a lot more than the dark color.
In addition, after I wear the gloves, my hands smell, and it's not a very pleasant smell. I assume that with time, this will go away.
Bottom line: the gloves appear to be durable (time will tell), and they should do the job, but given the premium price LL Bean charges, I was expecting more (i.e., the same quality as last time around).

They are comfortable to wear and provide real protection when tending a fire.

Great for woodstove
Absolutely amazing. The best fire gloves we've ever owned. Plush inside and soft leather outside. My husband is a giant and they are the first gloves I've ever seen him wear that look like they actually fit his hands. My hands are small and thin and I still feel like I can handle wood effectively. We use these for hard-core woodstove use 6 months out of the year here in Maine, and so far we're really loving these.

Worth every penny
I have to admit I really thought long and hard about spending $119 for these gloves, did I really need a nice looking, supple glove to protect my hands and arms from this demon of a wood stove? After all, we already had 3 pair of incredibly unsatisfying to use and terribly ugly gloves in the house. These gloves are a dream, comfortable to pull on, enough give so that you can actually feel and grasp the wood you are picking up and plenty of protection not only to get the blasted wood in the stove but enough protection that you can literally PLACE the wood nicely right where you want it rather than tossing it and praying. So if you’re thinking of making the move for some really, really nice fireplace/wood stove gloves, I say do it, I’m glad I did.

Worth the price, long lasting.
This new pair replaced a pair that was 16 years old. We had used them so much that material at inside the gloves, at the fingertips, had worn down/away. Great value, great product. We have many sets of these gloves.

Misleading
Ordered the long gloves and discovered they do not have the plaid lining (main reason for purchasing them). Plain red is what I received. The company no longer makes them with the plaid lining. LL Bean has not changed the photos yet on the website is the answer I received . Second attempt to wright a review on the situation and still nothing has changed with the photos of the product. Other than that, I do like the gloves but feel they are overpriced.

Worked well for 3 years!!
I had purchased these before and they worked beautifully. I'm rating them 4 stars only because after 3 years the seams started to split. LLBean refunded our purchase as they saw that it was a quality issue. Purchased these gloves again because they do work well.

Amazing gloves
We love these extra long fireplace gloves. This is our second pair. Our first pair lasted 17 years. The extra length keeps us from burning our arms when putting wood into our fireplace!

A MUST HAVE for anyone with a fireplace or wood stove. The gloves give you the ability to place a log exactly where you want it even when the coals are glowing hot. I find them much safer the usual fireplace tools.

A must have!
These are the perfect fireplace gloves. They get constant use in the fall and winter, so I must update my gloves every 7 years. They are comfortable allowing for ease when grabbing logs for the fire, and they are durable. The fit is also consistent.

Great Gloves!
My wife is the fire builder and has used various pot holders, etc. with our wood stove. These leather gloves are so much better! They really do protect you. Well made.

These gloves are well made. However, they do not hold up well if used to handle firewood on a daily basis.

Does what they are made to do
These things keep the hands and forearms protected! Proof is they are covered in ash! Nicely made in the USA. I would love to know how best to care for them to keep them working for many more fire seasons.

Super Protection
These are sturdy, flexible, have ample arm coverage and a nice heavy lining. I was able to place logs directly into the wood burning stove precisely and felt NO heat on my hands or arms. Highly recommend!
