I purchased these mittens to replace a pair of leather mittens that I lost years ago. The quality and feel of these mittens is truly first class. Due to an unusually warm and wet start to our winter here in the Oregon Cascades, I haven't had a chance to wear them, but I'm hopeful. I can tell, by trying them on that they'll be super warm and water resistant. I typically wear a large glove
, but ordered these in a medium, after using the size chart. I've found that I should have ordered a size small which would make them more nimble.
