ManzellaMen's Fleece Cold Weather Convertible Cascade Glove With Thinsulate

Or mittens... Moves? Glittens? What ever you call them, they work great. I've bought several pairs (you know how they often stop selling your favorite products).Love the fingertip accessibility when you need it. They're warm when covering your fingertips.It's rare to find a pair of gloves that actually fits my palms. Thank you, Manzella!

As a photographer I'm always looking for ways to keep my hands warm when shooting winter subjects. I use my Thinsulate hunting gloves and a lighter weight glove made for bike riders. The hunting gloves are warm and I can operate the controls on my Nikon 610, D7000 and my Canon 70D without taking off the gloves. But sometimes you have to take off the gloves to get at stuff in your bag or operate other dials on the camera. Robert Rodriguez Jr, a landscape photographer, blogged his winter gear and mentioned the Manzella convertible mittens. When I recevied them it was 27 degrees with a wind chill of 17 degrees. Not only did they keep my hands toasty warm but I could hit my back focus buttons and release the shutter button without uncovering my hand. I couldn't operate the rear dial with my thumb and it was a perfect time to pull the mitten part off to check battery strength and review a shot I just took. Absolutely happy with this test run.Pros:The glove label states it is a Manzella Cascade Convertible / Convertible Fleece glove with the designation "Warmest" in M/L size. I ordered the Large size and the fit is perfect (not sure about the label M/L). When you push the mittten back this glove uses Velcro to hold the mitten part to the glove. I was happy about the Velcro because some other convertibles use magnets.Some reviewers complained about the tightness around the fingers but this was not a problem for me. I didn't bother uncovering my thumb since it was not needed.Very warm - the fleece keeps out any draft coming in from the mitten part. 280g Microfleece Shell, 40g Thinsulate Insulaltion and Fleece lining.Well made. I didn't notice any defects in workmanship.Cons! Only one. Some convertibles have a tab on a finger cover to help pull off the glove. These do not have a tab.I'll update my review when I can test in the teens and if there are any construction issues.

Short answer -globes are very warm. Worn in -11 degrees. Hands stayed very warm. 1/Thumb cover doesn’t overlap. Because the way your hand curls naturally, the gap didn’t cause a problem. 2/ Xtra large was still on the tight side, especially around fingers. You can’t wear liners. But again, the gloves are surprisingly warm. 3/ Magnets are weak but okay. Got on sale; solid purchase.

They are very nice, thick, comfortable. Unfortunately, I ordered large instead of medium by accident, and returned them. I have them on my wish list to order medium for next winter.

This is my second pair of these (first ones were an older version and the finger mitten came off after the stitching that connected it to the rest of the glove broke). I am a professional photographer and have been struggling to find good warm gloves for winter shoots that still allow me to push my camera's shutter without triggering other settings and pushing other buttons by mistake. This glove works great for that since you can take the thumb cover off in order to be able to feel the buttons on my camera. However, since your fingers go naked under the glove, the tip of your fingers can get quite cold. I solved this problem by buying a very thin and light glove to wear under these for colder days.I love these gloves, and I would give them 5 stars, but after a week of wearing them, the stitching for the material used for grip on the palm started coming off. I recommend these gloves because they're warm and if you need feeling on your fingers, you don't need to take your gloves off. However, the construction of it is kinda flimsy and cheap. I wouldn't recommend them if you put your gloves to hard use.

Nice warm glomitts. Although the magnets could be slightly more powerful, I prefer magnets to Velcro for holding the flap open. Much better.

I used to have a pair of Manzella's that I loved. When I was looking for finger glove/mittens to replace my wornout Outside Research pair, I was ecstatic to find these. They are soft & warm and very well made. Perfect for keeping my hands warm, while allowing for finger dexterity when needed. Manzella does not disappoint.

This is my second pair and I use them all the time. They're fairly warm (but when mountaineering I still need a windproof/waterproof shell over them). Fleece is nice and soft. Having a hole for the thumb is crucial for me.The magnet isn't strong enough though. It's better than velcro because the stitching on most velcro isn't very good and it comes apart after a year or 2. But they need stronger magnets to really work well when hiking, bouncing around, in wind, etc.The sewn ring at the tips of the fingers (where the fingers come out of the holes) are too tight, it slightly restricts my circulation and I have skinny fingers. I have to stretch them out when I buy a pair and even then they're too tight. But other brands are even tighter so I keep buying these.
