Perfect for Toddlers! Love these so much we ordered a pair for skiing and one for home...
The previous generation Storm Cuff fit perfectly and was the best pair of winter gloves I've owned. These are almost as good, but the fingers are longer, especially the thumb, which has an extra 1/2 inch of room.
These mittens are fantastic for a toddler! Everyone knows how much they don't like to put mittens on and how hard it is to get their thumb in the right spot in conventional slide on mittens. These mittens open up and wrap around the hand, has a red colored insert inside where his thumb slides in making it very easy to put on. Once you get the hand in place in the mitten, you just fasten the Velcro flap in place and it's on! simple as that. It stays on too!
These mittens look warmer than they really are. The top side of the mittens are fully insulated, but the palm side is really thin. I went skiing last weekend and I noticed the cold holding my poles. The mittens are still snow proof, so they will be fine for general winter weather. The mittens run slightly small so order the L/XL unless you have really small hands.
I'd been looking for a long mitten for my three year old, and these work great. My slightly smaller than average three year old fits into the medium size perfectly. He likes the red lining for the thumb hole to help guide where his thumb is supposed to go, and these gloves keep his hands warm and dry. I gave 4 stars because I wish the elastic around the end of the mitten was a little tighter to go over this coat. After playing in the snow for a while, the elastic end has slipped down to his wrist, and I need to pull them back up over his coat. Slightly tighter elastic or a toggle in the design would solve the problem
I bought these gloves for winter riding on my scooter(s). I tend to drive about 3 miles at 35 mph, ten to twenty times per week and if the temperature is below 30, I can't feel the tips of my fingers at the end of that drive. If you are doing something with your hands, they'll stay much warmer. Undoubtedly if you are shoveling, you'll sweat.
I have small hands and as is often the case with gloves, I was faced with this choice:
A glove with fingers that fit, but tight in the thumb, or a thumb that fits when stretched, but oversized fingers. That's no different here, but in order to maintain good finger control for the brakes, I opted for fingers that fit.
Pros:
Waterproof (verified)
Fairly tight profile (no fat finger syndrome)
Has friction/grip material on fingers
Nose wipe and goggle wipe
Looks attractive; black matches almost everything
Better/warmer than leather for cold-weather riding
Cons:
Lack of cuff
Doesn't work at low temps
Goggle wipe is on the right hand, which is almost universally used for throttle and front brake...would be better on the left.
I debated on which gloves to get to keep the snow of of their arms/wrists. I decided these seemed okay and cheaper than other brands. However, when I received them and tried them on the kids I was disappointed. The elastic part was very loose...about an inch plus from arm. The finger lengths seem short and the thumb to index finger seems very long. I returned them the next day. FYI - I ordered a small for my 2 1/2 year old and a med. for my 4 1/2 year old. The overall "size" seemed appropriate, but see mention of lengths above. I'll be spending the extra money and getting a different brand.
I bought these for my 5 and 2 year olds, they fit well and even my 2-year-old was able to get her thumb where it belonged without too much struggle. Very high quality materials, I like how the part going up the sleeve is waterproof. Its length helps keep mittens on the little ones, and keeps cold and snow from creeping between their mittens and coats. Product was shipped fast, and communication from the seller was great.
I bought an XL to fit my smallish 7 year old but when they arrived I found that they actually fit my average size 3 year old perfectly. Good quality, you can put in a handwarmer if necessary. Love the long gauntlet and you can even separate the lining and the inner part for drying, but have to dock them on the stars for the misleading sizing. The XL is a great size for 3-5 year olds. Hope this helps someone else looking for sizing info before ordering online!
Although the winter weather hasn't hit quite yet :-), these are a nice, warm pair of gloves. They are an excellent, quality glove with enough of a cuff to tuck in the jacket and velcro to keep the snow out. It also has a nice, soft pigskin palm. I'm very pleased with these and the price is GREAT.
