I was very concerned with the quality of this item after reading some comments left by other customers, but honestly speaking: I like them. Very warm, not itching at all, and think they will be very usefull while texting with my Iphone. Furthermore, they were delivered on time. I was so tempted to give this purchase 4 stars cuz I got an email from the seller saying that a pair of hand warmers were included for free, but never came along with my gloves. Don't think at all that they were poorly built: they look and feel nicely. If they were water proof, my satisfaction would be enormous, so if the manufacturer wants to improve their quality, this issue must be worth considering.
