“Happy with Purchase”

“I read all the reviews before making a purchase and had some reservations, especially when I read "cheap" and "not warm" and there were some sizing issues. But I'm glad those reviews didn't steer me away. I have small hands, so I went up one size as suggested and ordered the medium. I am pleased with my purchase, so far. The mittens are cute, fit well, and there is enough lambswool lining for my liking (seems about the same amount as in the bottom of my high-priced boots by a well-known maker). I live in the Northeast and walk my dog often -- they're perfect for this activity. I wouldn't use these nonwaterproof mittens for shoveling snow -- I'll use waterproof ski gloves for that. In these mittens, my hands have been toasty warm and cozy even on the coldest days, and I like the fact that the gloves are thin enough so they bend with my hand. I've tried on expensive lambswool-lined mittens before that had a thick, stiff leather upper and an ultra-ultra plush lining, but I couldn't move my hands. And I didn't buy them because I was concerned that I'd be taking them off a lot and maybe losing them. It didn't seem practical, and now I'm not sure how much lambswool is really needed to keep hands warm anyway -- seems as though these mittens with a thinner lining do the job well. And they're priced right and are perfect for what I need them for.”
