Review on Thinsulate Ear Warmers - Bandless Earmuffs By Sprigs Earbags by Janet Scollins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but lightweight

Overall a good set of earmuffs. I use them on morning walks and for that purpose they're fine. My go to brand is women's 180 degrees behind the neck versions I've worn for several years, so any comparison is to those. These are lightweight, so less cumbersome with a flatter profile which is nice, less obvious that you're wearing muffs. I don't know how they would be for a runner vs walking as they're not as secure as the other type, but I did not have any issue keeping them on during a brisk walk. They don't offer as much cold/wind protection as I'm used to. I had to cut an extra piece of material to place inside in order to give me what I consider a moderate amount of protection for spring wind and morning chill. They don't need to be lined with fur, but more layers than what is provided is necessary for me. For winter or high wind activities, they wouldn't offer enough protection. There could be issues wearing glasses/sunglasses since these stay on by cupping the area all around the ear. It is nice that they come with a little drawstring pouch in order to keep them together and they also take up very little space in a purse or backpack. They are easy to put on once you get the hang of it. I will keep this set as an extra backup pair when something light is needed, but they won't replace my go to 180Degrees muffs.

Pros
  • Machine washable for easy upkeep
Cons
  • May cause discomfort for people with facial piercings
