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.

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.

Absolutely. I use these while shooting and i wear eye protection. These are very good and comfortable too.

Yes. You'd fare well using spikes suitable to the terrain; the larger spikes are good for stability in rugged conditions.

Yup. They will hold up just fine. I've drop mine a few times while out in the brush. No problems at all.

Not sure if these would be good for motorcycle riding, but they were great for BurningMan!

Good idea. I would pay special attention to where your flame is though. I think you would have a fire hazard on your hands if these got anywhere close to an open flame.

I can't answer that because I haven't used them for that purpose. They are very heat resistant but I can't vouch for flameproof. I assume you are thinking of camping-type use.

I think they would work well for you. They are flexible and light. I recommend.

They are definitely heavy enough to use over a fire but there is a drawback. The clip on handles will melt if subjected to too much direct heat. In using them on my gas cooktop in my RV I once used too high of a flame and started getting damage to the bottom edge of the handle next to the side of the pan. Lesson learned. Also, they are an awfully nice pan to subject them to the blackening etc. you get with campfire cooking. I carry a couple of smaller good old fashioned cast iron skillets and dutch oven in the basement of the RV for campfire cooking.

YES. They're strong enough. I agree with you James. They really don't look up to the job. I've had & used mine now for over a year and I love them. They're TOTALLY reliable. Do yourself a favor James. These will work. At about $ 8.00 a pack - for me that's right on the cusp "acceptable risk" (a little more money than I'd casually risk.) That said - I'm telling you James - they will exceed your expectations. They're dynamite. Get them! You'll be glad you did! If possible, keep me posted. Best of luck! :-)

Yes they should be able to handle the moisture, but I'm not sure about the temperature. I would recommed a true waterproof speaker.

Absolutely. These are the most durable and comfortable Kevlar gloves I've ever owned. However u wouldn't recommend them.for bike riding. If you choose to it will work however I would recommend a glove that would breathe such as weight lifting gloves that are fingerless, ventilated, and padded better for bike riding.

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

I've taken them fishing with me where I've done a lot of walking over pretty rough terrain and had no problem. Don't ride motorcycles so I don't know but I think they'd be just fine. They're ruggedly built although you might want to tape the lens covers down while travelling.

I don't see why not. I've only used them for snowboarding, but it think it was meant for like dirt bike riding lol. I would use them in hot areas. I don't see how it would damage it

I would not think they would hold up for running. I only used them for walking and snowblowing the drive. They broke after one season. Worked really well-but I will not pay that much for such a short span of time again.
