I had been looking for fingerless mittens for a couple months and these caught my eye when I saw the pattern. I just bought my mother in law and I tiger printed hats so I bought these to match. They are warm, and although I have small hands, I was a little surprised to find that they was a little too snug. Something I could live with though. They are warm and I have yet to have problems with them. They look and feel like they would last me all winter, plus some. I got my mother in law the exact same pair and she likes them as well.
