I have several "pricey" leather gloves with Thinsulate lining and find them all to be totally useless when it comes to keeping hands warm, even though they look great, wearing them and are a comfortable fit. The only thing they do effectively is block the wind on hands when outside. But get into a cold car on a freezing day and Thinsulate gloves actually transmit outside cold from the leather to the hands. I always notice that when I remove the gloves, that my fingers are warmer because they are not encased in the lining which seems to channel cold from outside the gloves to the fingers.

With that dissatisfaction in mind, I purchased these gloves because they were fur lined, thinking they would afford better heat retention from the body, and the fingers, but unfortunately the fur is too thin to do any good. I did not notice any difference between them and every other glove on the market which all seem to be bound by the stranglehold that "Thinsulate" has on the market. Really sad that you can't find a pair of gloves which actually insulate the hands and hold in the heat. Glove manufacturers need to take a clue from some of the slipper manufacturers, such as Old Friend, who use sheepskin for the outers and for the lining. I can walk out into sub zero temperatures with the sheep skin lined booties and feel like my feet are in a warm bath.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the style, fit, and workmanship of this high end glove but unfortunately it falls short of the objective for having fur lined, to keep the fingers warm. And I must say that the seller of these gloves was first rate. Upon trying them on in cold weather and deeming them to be unsatisfactory in relation to Thinsulate lined gloves, I returned them with the seller's return postage paid label and got an instant full refund, no questions asked.
