Bought These for my 2 Daughters (4&6). They are very easy to put on because both sides open with hook and loop closure. They are relatively waterproof but will get wet if child falls a lot and doesn't wipe snow off the glove. But at least they do not have a fleece thumb like alot of the kids mitts do. The insulation says it is 200gm Thinsulate but it doesn't seem any thicker than the 60gm Obermyer mittens they have. Overall they are decent mittens but maybe a little overpriced for what you get.(do to Spyder name)

2.5 Years old and a tornado of energy. We got her these gloves and the Obermyer jumpsuit thing. Now sledding, skiing, snowshoeing, any adventure we can think of this kid is dialed. I give these two snaps with a twist. If you have a toddler, and want to keep them warm and dry these are the gloves to buy! They are worth every penny.

I think for the price, these were not worth it. Perhaps I particular to DaKine, and I found a Dakine pair for $10 less. A kid will only wear these for one season maximum, so why spend the extra? Not to mention, my little girl was cold in these after 3 trips up the hill. Spyder makes great adult gear, but these are not adult gloves.
