I have arthritis and need gloves that are warm. Until now, all gloves I had were too bulky. I had to remove them to use the car or house keys and sometimes just to drive. Which kind of defeated the reason for wearing gloves in the first place. But these gloves are warm and at the same time, not too bulky. Put them on before leaving the house and don't have to remove them until I get where I'm going. Would recommend these to anyone with cold hands - they are great.
