I received these gloves for Father's Day:

However, my wish list was deviated from, and I'm glad it was.
These gloves have two layers, an outer layer, which I believe is more cosmetic and which contains what I believe is some silicone to enhance your grip. I don't know how well it does that since I haven't tried to pick up anything particularly slippery. I think the inner layer is where the real heat resistance is. I base that purely on appearance. Other similar gloves tend to be white-ish, as is the inner layer of these gloves.
I find that I have much more dexterity in these gloves than in the welding gloves that was on my wish list. I also find they have more heat resistance. I have quickly (and perhaps it was foolish to even try this) picked up a single ashed-over briquette that was stuck in my charcoal chimney and placed it on the grill. Never felt the heat. They cuff of the gloves comes up about 2-3 inches above my wrist onto my forearm, and provides me with plenty of protection.
The one gripe I have with these is that they are two layers. Unless you get a good grip on the glove's fingers as you're pulling them off, the liner will come out of the fingers of the glove. That has happened once to me, and it was pretty easy to put it back in place, but it's a slight annoyance to have to remember to pull them off a certain way. They are currently "on sale," but I believe I remember seeing them that price before Christmas too.
