            @pechelman Prior proper planning prevents poor performance. Or something like that, anyway

                oh, wow. Didnt realize these were already live.
                Snagged the last pair of dark grey. Thankfully I saw them in the email this morning!

                    Finally cool enough here to start wearing these. They're wonderfully warm and cozy and have slightly longer fingers than most fingerless gloves (a plus for me). My only minor complaint is to be sure to keep these FAR FAR away from anything velcro or similar. The fibers are woven very roughly and can be pulled very easily. Also because of this, they're certainly not suitable imo for working in the garage or something like that.

                      Heya folks, I was looking to pick up a unique and good quality pair of fingerless gloves for the 12-year-old daughter of a friend of mine. I know these are one-size, do you think they might be too big for her? Any of you that own these that have kids around that age had them try the gloves on?

                      Thanks!

                      Blanket-line all the things!!!

                          @Paul9221 I would think they would be fine for smaller hands, they are quite snug for an adult hand (but stretch and comfortable) so I would think they would be ok for your daughter

                            If you have a set of gloves she wears now or she can sit still for you to measure her hands, this could be helpful.

                            From the base of the middle finger to the bottom of the cuff is 6" on my pair. Note that mine are pretty worn so could be stretched a little bit they feel similar to new other than how rough they've gotten.

                                how have these been holding up for folks?
                                noticed my pair are now thread bare in one spot on both, though ive worn these almost daily since about late Oct.

                                  Lovely fabric but mine got big holes from my rings, super quick.

                                    I get the reason for fingerless gloves but always found it ironic that the extremities, most prone to coldness and with the least circulation, wind up exposed. I wish there were a better solution to tactile feedback and warmth, maybe something like latex or nitrile but more robust for fingertips. Until then the best compromise may be a fingerless glove with an attached mitten-like cover that can be peeled back when you need manual dexterity and/or touch.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      It all depends on the climate and activity. Skiing in CO with fingerless gloves would be a total disaster. Fly fishing in mid-winter, getting hands wet repeatedly, needing to tie small knots, fingerless gloves or no gloves were the only answer for me when fishing on the south platte and in the CO canyons. Those were fleece lined 5mm neoprene fingerless gloves with a velcro fold over mitt. They worked great.

                                      Fast forward to now, I live in a more mild climate, rarely does it drop below freezing, and I've found that most wool fingerless gloves to offer ~75%+ of the warmth as a fingered glove for around town/to from work/etc, but with obviously way more dexterity and no clammy hands. I've not had a chance to use any fingerless glove in a colder climate for an extended time, but I suspect you might find them better than they appear on paper.

                                      The only time I find myself wanting for full fingered gloves in normal day to day life is when scraping off ice/frost from the car on cold mornings. Working outside or in the garage, I use normal leather or mechanix style gloves since those offer more protection, dont mind getting covered in grease or oil, and are far more durable.

                                        On really cold days I wear a fingerless glove inside of a mitten. I find that the mitten is better at managing warmth, sucks with dexterity, and the use of the fingerless glove allows me to complete those quick tasks when the mittens come off.

                                        For me surviving winter has become a hybrid of science and art. The key is multiple layers and lots of little tricks like the gloves/mittens.

                                        It was also a lot easier to manage when I was 30 than now.

                                          And what works for one person may not work for someone else. I had a friend in CO that no matter what he tried, including many weird hacks that worked for other people, like wearing ultra thin silk glove liners under mittens, or even crazy ideas, like applying spray-on anti-perspirant to his hands in an attempt to minimize sweating, he always had freezing cold hands.
