Bought for a guy in a manual wheelchair.  He needs something in winter that is sturdy enough to handle his rolling the chair through stuff that clings to the wheels such a ice melt, salt mud, sand and more. Also, they must be warm enough for severe weather as he uses them for more than folks usually need them, such as just running to and from the car.  Further I was looking for gloves that were also light enough so he can actually feel and grip the wheels of his chairs.  These were just perfect. Nice looking too.
