Get your mitts on 'em!

Ranked #23 - Mittens
January 10, 2012
I'm a mitten man and these are the perfect winter protection. They are warmer than gloves and not as big and bulky. The point of gloves is that you can supposedly do things with your fingers and the gloves on. This isn't very practical or easy. I find I end up taking the gloves off anyway, so I rock the mitts and keep my fingers warmer since they are together generating heat.
The 2 parts allow you to pull out the insulation and use them as a spring mitt for warmer days.
