I love these things! They are nice and thick and hold up to the harsh winter weather of Buffalo NY. The quality is strong and I have been using them for a few months now and they still look brand new. The only thing I wish was different about these is the Velcro used to hold the mitten flap back. When trying to fold them over to cover my fingers the Velcro sometimes sticks to the mits and pulls on the material. Other then that I have no complaints about the warms or the strength of the material. I highly recommend these!
