Review on ViGrace Winter Knitted Convertible Fingerless by Barry Hill

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Super warm gloves (update) But test incentive offered

Last update in 6 weeks, downgrading to 1 star: and ACTION from the seller is dubious Unfortunately, the Velcro fastener ruined these gloves. He just continued to cling to the fur and ripped it apart. The seller tried to incentivize my review by offering me a gift certificate in exchange for my review. After checking the gloves, the seller informed me that the promotion would be granted "on upgrade to 5 stars" even though I had given 4 stars. Yes. Lots of ethics? Upgraded after 1 month of regular use, downgraded from 4 to 2 stars: Square velcro is fast becoming a weak link in glove construction. The coat keeps fraying and looking tattered, not to mention annoying and frustrating when the square velcro gets snagged all over the place. So I have to downgrade my rating from 4 to 3 stars. However, they are still very warm gloves and they will keep you warm. The wool blend makes them really warm and the wool keeps a lot of its insulating effect even when wet. I probably have 10 pairs of gloves because my hands get cold very quickly. Some of the gloves I've had are too tight at the cuff; that is exactly what is needed. The only downside is the 1-inch square Velcro on the back of each glove, which is designed to keep the "glove" (on the back of the hand) out of the way when you're in fingerless mode. The Velcro catches on many fabrics, including the gloves themselves, which can cause the fabric to stretch (making it too fuzzy and worn). " can be refilled and it works much better.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
