For a number of reasons, I have been a fan of fingerless gloves for decades, but brand selection is sparse. Over the years, I have bought what has been available at one or another sporting goods store (each a generic offered under as a "store brand"). My last several purchases have been disappointing: light wool construction; no wrist coverage; poor fabrication with finger openings that quickly unravel ... you get the drift. The best gloves of this type that I have ever had was Fox River brand, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere until I searched Amazon.

Simply stated, there is no better fingerless wool glove on the market. (These are made of 85% wool ans 15% nylon for stretchability.) First, these are a good 50% thicker than other wool gloves of this type; second, while regular gloves are removed by pulling them off at the fingertips, these are removed by pulling at their finger openings. Most other brands are flimsily constructed and begin to fray and fall apart when this is done repeatedly; not so with Fox River gloves. (They are double (or perhaps triple) stitched at this location so they do not come apart at their openings); third, the cuffs extend a good 4-inches past the wrist providing additional warmth and comfort.

When last I bought these, they were 100% American made. Now, however, they are made in Haiti using American materials. I'm fine with that (Lord knows, Haiti needs what help it can get), and it's refreshing to not see "Made in China" on a product. Regardless of where these were made, the Fox River quality seems to have survived. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a quality product that will survive more than a single season.
