They are all synthetic. I believe they are a mix of nomex and kevlar. I use them for cutting people out of cars, and have never torn them. I do alot of cutting and burning with them also, and they hold up well. My only complaint with them is the padding on the fingers and palm is a little stiff and slippery at first but they break in pretty quick, which solves that issue.

Sizing is pretty good. I normaly wear a size 10 or 11 glove. I have these in large and medium, but just about always use the mediums. Like I said previously, I like my gloves fairly snug.

I have a couple of the previous version of these too. not much difference except color and slighty different shape padding.
