QBee, don't believe a word Bomb says, I knitted a set for him but he ended up using them as palmless gloves.
I can't remember where they came from but I'm sure the reason my HT leads avoid heat damage is because I've added HT lead clips to pull the leads as far from the manifolds as possible and I don't add insulation to the inside as some folk do, I believe it's better to leave an air space between the sock and the HT lead to allow hot air to escape.
The socks don't prevent heat transfer, they are heat resistant, that just means they won't melt. If you rest them on a hot surface, after a period of time the heat will equalise so that the inner surface becomes hot enough to damage the HT lead. You need an air gap between the hot side of the sock and the HT lead so that the heat can escape

You have probably told us before, Bobfather, but after a fourth one of my eight new plug extenders failed last weekend, I would love to know the exact make etc of your plug lead heat-proof socks please.
