When these gloves/mittens arrived, they almost didn't make it to the person I intended them for, my daughter.  I purchased them as a Christmas gift for her and yet I actually did seriously contemplate keeping them for myself.  I know! Horrible of me right?  These are so nice though.  When my daughter DID open them Christmas day, she was thrilled AND said she hoped that NO ONE wanted to EVER borrow them.  Well, I guess that says it all.  I will have to just buy my own pair for our next trip up north.
