I have had mine for 2 years and finally purchased a pair for my daughter. They are very warm, comfortable, soft, and perfect if you are the type of person who normally gets cold hands, or you just want a great mitten in general for on the slopes. I wear mine the whole winter skiing, (i live in a ski mtn town in colorado), even on the not so cold days and do not find that i over heat in them. They run big from a length standpoint, but not from a width standpoint. I fit in the smalls, but ended up with the mediums after a day because i did not like the width size in the smalls. They start out very "big" fluffy feeling, but after just a couple of hours of skiing in them they were worked in already and held my poles fine. This is the mitten that most of the women wear here in this town and for good reason. they are the best i have ever used.
