I have to say that these ear mittens are really very soft. However massive they are, I don't think I have tiny elf ears, I guess they're just made for some elephant. I think they still do their job and my ears aren't usually frozen from a cold walk, but they look like I'm trying to hide the fact that I have a huge player underneath. Update: They're still weirdly big and they don't hold up well, they're shedding threads and lint all over the place, not well
