I love mittens. Not to say I don't love gloves too but mittens really do keep my hands warmer and in the winter, that is what I want most. When I am heading out shopping or getting off work, I love a nice pair of mittens to help keep my hands toasty. These arrived just in time as winter has struck my area already and these have already been put to use. They are roomy and my hands didn't freeze in the weather that is happening right now.
