Love these
This is my third pair of these mittens - I absolutely love them. I hate wearing gloves. It makes it hard to get my metrocard out of my wallet or use my phone while I'm on the subway (yes, I could take them off to do these things, but that gets annoying when you're carrying a lot, and smartphone gloves are still gloves, so I still don't like wearing them). BUT, I have Raynauds, so my hands are always freezing, even when NYC isn't in the middle of a polar vortex. These are perfect. Super warm, surprisingly cute (I get compliments on them all the time), and I can't recommend them enough. They're pretty rugged too, but I spill coffee on them all the time so they usually look pretty grungy after a few seasons and I buy a new pair.One note - there's a little velcro square to hold the flap open and I find it pretty ugly so I always pull the stitches out and remove it. It's very simple, and once it's off you'll never know it was there.

Poor quality
I ordered a pair of these gloves/mittens, got them, and put them on. They seemed like good quality like they’d keep my hands warm. Within the first 20 minutes the “flap” came off. I returned them and bought a bigger size, thinking maybe it was just the fact that they were too tight. SAME thing happened - only this time within the first 10 minutes of wear.Not even worth the hassle of returning - just going to cut my losses. :(

Disappointed
I bought these to replace a pair that I bought at a local retailer - I love the gloves, they don’t carry them anymore, and I wanted a backup. The original pair fit great, are durable and super warm. The new gloves (this order) fit poorly (thumbs and finger covers are an inch too long) and are poor quality (already have a hole in one thumb after less than a month).

Just ordered a new pair after seven winters
I like these mittens a lot. The thumb opens as well as the fingers for fine manual work. But also, the leather patches on the palm, thumb, and fingers allow for a good grip, so I can keep the mittens closed while driving or carrying heavy objects.I found the velcro closures annoying, so I used a stitch ripper to remove them. They seemed pretty solidly attached, so even with the stitch ripper this took a bit of work. I suppose they probably wouldn't fall off by themselves for a good long time.On the downside, as others have noted, only the finger cap has fleece lining and insulation. The thumb cap and the hand are just plain wool (and leather, but that doesn't help for warmth). My thumbs feel pretty cold while wearing these on the coldest winter days.Also, I noticed the tint of the leather bleeding into the wool a little bit. I expect that washing them on the gentle cycle before wearing them in rain or snow would help prevent that.

False advertising = unusable
I was very excited to order these gloves for walking my dog this winter. I am allergic to wool but the product description advertises that the gloves have: a "fleece interior for softness and warmth" and a "3M Thinsulate liner for insulation against the cold" making them perfect for me; I'd get the warmth of the wool without it touching my skin so no itching and/or rashes. Unfortunately the fleece and lining is only in the mitten top of the gloves. This means the only portion not wool is the very tip of the fingers when the mittens are closed. For sizing I have a 7.5" palm circumference and ordered the Medium gloves (Medium men's gloves are usually for 8" palms). So they are slightly too big, but the small would have been too tight. The fact that they're a little large means I'm going to try and find some other thin non-wool glomitts (or liners I can cut the fingertips off of) that I can wear inside them so that I don't have to return them. Overall I'm very disappointed due to their false description.If you can wear wool, then these are actually nice gloves. The leather pads on the palm and mitten top are very nice. However, I don't like the use of a Velcro patch to keep the mittens open. It snags on my scarf when they're closed and looks bad (a toggle or button would have been better). Also the inside of the thumbs is a little weird: its leather and has an extended leather flap that hangs down over the thumb slit, it just looks strange and not very effective (maybe you're supposed to tuck the leather flap into the slit?)These would be really great gloves if the thinsulate and fleece liners had been carried throughout.

So small they cut off circulation
I am a small lady and I ordered the men’s small size. First off, the fingers are all sewn together at the sides which really immobilizes your hands. The biggest problem is the finger holes were so incredibly tight that my fingers almost immediately started turning purple-y bluish and I had to get my husband to help pry them off. It was nuts.I don’t recommend them unless you order like three sizes up. But the fingers will still be sewn together so maybe don’t.

High quality with surprising wind resistance.
The Large size was great for my hand which is approximately 9 inches between thumbnail and pinky fingernail when fingers are extended. There are also about 8.5 inches between my wrist and the tip of my middle finger.They provide fairly good wind resistance and kept my fingers warm in 22 °F temps today. Moreover, the velcro patches seem to be secured to the mitt more securely than in other glomitts I've owned previously. Would recommend for the price.

Looks better in the pictures than actual
Looks better in the pictures than actual. No lining in the palm or back of the hand. Allows wind to travel through the fabric. Hands get cold in windy conditions
