First World Problems...

If there was a Platonic Ideal of oven mitts, that would be it!

Except...the designers clearly fell down on the job and did not design it to last forever, so my three mitts (I bought two more as soon as I realized that it was perfect) are not long for this world.

Sadly, the manufacturer discontinued the design in favor of a clearly inferior one, but probably cheaper and easier to manufacture.

I have considered having it copied and manufactured for myself, and even hit up you maniacs for advice, but the small-run required is not cost effective.

The alternatives are grim: keep using the mitts and accept the occasional burn as they fall apart, then stop using mitts altogether, and accept burns every day; or stop cooking.

It is a real struggle!
