Would these be good for wildland fire fighting?

The durability is excellent. The only problem I have is the black laces fade around my shins. So I just polish them black when I polish my boots.

I work in wildland fire and have 72" pair in my 12 inch boots and a 63" pair in my 10 inch boots and I love them. The first pair I bought in 2011 and still going strong, they do wear out the eyelets eventually but if you have good boots those can be replaced before the leather is damaged. I really like that I never have to worry about them breaking, I recommend them!

I work ina landfill and these laces have been in service for me since June of 2013. I've used them in the shop and they've seen slag from arc welding and grinder sparks too. These are the only laces I've bought so far that I've felt weren't a rip-off.

Yes - they will burn well outdoors. Once these are lit and either glowing red on both side - or gray on the outside, these will not blow out and will work great.

I would think so. I use them for using lawn equipment and on the pistol range.

I would err on the side of yes, though I never threw one on mine. I only use barefoot though and don't really transmit a lot. If you are throwing some real fire out there you definitely want to measure the SWR.

I would agree. I have these for emergency exit from our house in case of fire blocking our escape.

No, I would not think they could serve any purpose with fire. They come with a handle that completely removes any air from them and you do not need fore. They have a release valve on the top to release the air before removing. I would not recommend fire at all. Fire ones do not have a release valve.

I haven't tried them for trail running. I fish a lot from shore and tried them on slippery rocks, they worked fine but didn't hold the abuse. the chain broke away from the rubber holes. I don't recommend them if you're going to put them under a lot of stress. they might work just fine to walk from house to car or from parking lot to store.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

I would not use them for rugged roads. they are good for the price. but not great. I use them for freeway use mostly.

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

I don't see why not they work awesome starting charcoal. They would start the wood and burn out eventually like they do with charcoal. These are great for starting a fire!!

These are excellent gloves for use with our wood stove and fire pit. Can't say if they would work for your purpose, but I have used them as garden gloves when pulling out pricker bushes and trimming holly bushes and remained unscratched.

Sure they can. I've used mine plenty of times over an open campfire. Just watch the plastic/rubber on the handles that they don't melt if you get them to close to the fire.

Haha apparently they are because there are warning tags and stickers all over them... i work with a fire dept, but we are never ever near flame close enough that it matters. I wear them on the ambulance every day, they are really comfortable. If you are wearing them in a job that puts you close to open flame i wouldn't buy them, if not, you'll be fine.

Yes. I actually use them for putting logs in my woodstove... very hot work.

absolutely that is their whole purpose...the fire starter will generate a flame ..the hardest part is finding dry tinder if you are deluged by a rainstorm

That depends on how you hunt, because the material is lightweight. Walking through a marsh would be no problem, but up and down, in and out of a blind would damage them. Also, keep in mind that these are not bootfoot waders.
