I have had a pair of these mittens for about 10 years. Then my 17 year old daughter came along and started wearing them. -That's never a good thing. So I ordered her this pair for Christmas. There have been a few updates to the design, but all in all, it's the same great mitten. TOTALLY windproof. the only complaint I could make is that they are really TOO warm for a lot of activities! (and that's more of a good thing, right?)
