This was the cheapest good ear warmer I could find that folded up to minimize size when not using.  I am happy.  I have a tendency to lose these and so am interested in not spending too much money.  They are basic, look good, fold up and don't mess up my hair, not that that is too big a deal.  Can't ask for much more.  Great value for the money.  I am very happy.  I will not carry these on me anymore so I don't lose more of them.  I will use this item around the house mostly, to keep my ears warm, especially when walking the our dog before going into work and also when shoveling snow or running the snow thrower, when a full head cap is too warm because I am working hard.
