Apparel reviews of Womens Sheepskin Leather Fur Mittens BlackCustomer Review: Soft and warm -- they do the job. Rating: 5 Stars
These are very soft and also very flexible. They are warm and nice.
I normally do not wear mittens because I really need to use my fingers a lot.
I feel very cramped in a mitten. In previewing this review, I see I'm listed as being in Pasadena, California. Yes - part time. The rest of the time it's New England, which is why I needed hand warmers in winter. I got these for rollerblading in the Boston area along the causeway to the Nahant island in very cold weather. I wear wrist guards when I skate, and needed a hand warmer that could fit OVER the wrist guards. I ordered a size much larger than I normally wear to accommodate the wrist guard. These do the trick very well, but you have to take one off to make skate adjustments, or twist off the cap of a water bottle for a drink. Or to pick car keys out of a pocket. (In my online search for proper gear, I since discovered a different type of hand warmer that is even better for me for this purpose: The new glove mittens with flip tops! So I can make skate adjustments without removing them.) But these were so nice and soft and pretty, anyway, that I gave them to my fiancé, who has big hands. He uses them. If I were a mitten person (and not a glove person), I might get a smaller pair for other needs, though, such as shopping (where you remove them inside a building) or hiking (when you don't need your fingers.) They are casual, a little bit floppy, and a fast on-off. No fussing to get each finger out of each finger hole. I see other users say that they use them for driving.
I could never use a mitten for driving . . . either with stick OR automatic. In my mind it would be very unsafe, no matter HOW great the mitten is. I just need my fingers too much.
But, if you like mittens, these are great. Not having bought many mittens before, I'm assuming that the sale price on these is a pretty good deal since NON leather ones in fleece are $12 or so, and these are real sheepskin that is soft and flexible. They are NOT that sturdy, outdoor, heavy duty, rough-and-tumble work mitten type, in case you're looking for those. These are the more pliable ones with thinner leather. I can't tell you if the dye runs or not because I haven't worn them that much, or if they are waterproof in the snow. I'd guess not, and that it might be wise -- if you're going to be handling snowy things -- to use one of those grocery store bought water proofing sprays for when the snow melts. People end up just brushing snow off windshields. But once you're in the car with the heater on, the snow will melt, and I can see how these might easily get wet in cases like that. That might stain them, though I think the shearling insulation inside would still keep your hands warm.
