These gloves are okay. They keep my hands warm, and the ability to remove the thumb in addition to the mitten part of the glove is nice, but it seems to work good in theory but not in practice. The little pocket to hold back the glove does not actually hold back the glove as well as it should, and it often falls out unless I really shove it in there, which is then a bulky little lump on top of my hand. There is absolutely nothing holding the thumb portion of the glove back, so it just sort of hangs there and gets in the way when I'm trying to write. I'm a little disappointed that after only a week of wear that the material on the thumb is already starting to come apart, leaving a mess of unflattering little threads everywhere. I honestly don't these gloves will last me more than one winter's worth of use, which is very disappointing. When looking for a new pair of gloves next year, I would not consider these again. They keep my hands somewhat warm, but are not as practical as they could be.
