I've been sick the past week and easily get chilled, so have been using these gloves while at work because the fingerless option allows me to type on my keyboard!  I also bring them home with me at the end of the day for when I'm resting on the couch.  They seem solidly constructed, unlike the other reviews I've read.  Occasionally I'll pull them off by the fingers and they still stay together.  I LOVE the thickness because I'm used to the regular dollar or two buck gloves.  Only drawback is that I wish the thumbs had the option to be fingerless so that I could text on my cellphone.  I failed to see that in the product picture.  Overall at the moment, I am a happy customer.  :)
