The best thing about these mitts are that they are built to last. For the past several years, I've blown through one or two pairs of gloves/mitts each winter. I needed something that wouldn't fall apart with intensive use (I work outdoors daily in winter, plus recreating).
As for the dexterity comments others have raised, the loss of dexterity is a small price to pay for warm fingers. I keep a pair of winter work gloves (actually, OR's Extravert gloves) handy for a quick swap if I'm going to be doing anything needing nimble fingers.
These mitts are perfect for snowboarding, too.
