Review on πŸ”₯ Fleece-lined Fold Back Pockets: Embrace Warmth with Heat Factory's Innovative Design by Andrew Lyons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The price is good but I would like to change a lot

I'm pleasantly surprised at how warm these gloves are - I don't need thermal pads to keep my hands warm. I read the reviews before purchasing and there are a few details I agree and would expand on from other reviews. Fit: I read reviews that said they are quite large/long. I agree and thought I'd be fine with that as I wanted them to raise my hands a bit. What I didn't notice in any of the reviews is that they don't last very well. Because they don't fit snugly and there's no elastic in the cuffs, they kept slipping off my arms. I've started using a hair tie around the cuff to keep it in place when I'm wearing it. I can sew on some kind of tie. Thumb: I seem to have misunderstood that in the reviews. When the reviews say the thumb flap doesn't overlap like the rest of the hand, what they mean is that there's literally a gap about half an inch wide between the glove portion and the thumb flap. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if they overlapped or overlapped a bit. Material: I'm just repeating what I've read in the reviews here - the velcro sticks to the material and there's a lot of flying or crumbling material. . It also snags very easily and I have a piece that's already trying to come loose (for the past couple of weeks). I take good care of them but I wear them daily and I have a feeling they won't last more than 2 winters without needing some darning. Bag: I haven't read about this in the reviews, but I find the fit of the bag a little odd. Considering the size of the gloves, I'm surprised at how snug the bag sits on the strap - it fits, but I feel my movement is restricted and an extra half inch would be great. I have thin fingers so this might be too restrictive for someone with thicker fingers and probably most men. As for the pocket, I also wish there was something (maybe the same velcro, snap or whatever) to keep it in place when it covers hands. The fit is uncomfortable and I find I have to fold it up for everything - not just doing something that requires my fingers. Bottom line: They're warm and it's nice to have my fingers free while the rest of my hand stays that warm. The fit is uncomfortable and I had to get creative to make them fit well enough that I didn't have to constantly adjust them.
