Lost Coast Fingerless Mitten - Men's

Poor quality workmanship

These mitts are warm and I love magnet that holds up flap back but after about 3 uses the stitching for the flap was starting to come undone and now is half off. No choice but to return these very expensive mitts

great idea, poorly designed

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The glove/mitt seems well made and fit my hand as intended. I only wore them a short and they seemed warm. The fingers are too long. I wanted these so I could have intermittent dexterity to reach in my pockets to retrieve items but found the fingers were too long and the glove was just awkward when needing hand and fingers to operate simple things. Also the fingers are all the same length on the glove rather than varied like our real fingers in length. I found that I was still taking the entire glove off to do simple tasks so it defeated the purpose. I don't have short fingers either and other reviewers had similar comments. Love the idea, if they would just shorten the fingers at least an 1/2" and vary the finger length, and also have the mitt part come down farther.

Really warm!

Gloves are thick and are very warm. My only complaint is the pinky finger is a bit long.

I like these a lot--the material is comfortable, they're very warm, they're versatile because of the convertibility, but they're not without their problems. They seem to be designed for someone with fingers that are all exactly the same length, and I'm sure if that person existed they would fit them perfectly, but I'm not that person. The material has a bit of fuzz coming off it already and I expect it will pill up substantially, too, so I have to have my fabric shaver ready some time soon. But I really do like them! There are just some small annoyances.

Started falling apart after first wear

First of all, the sizing was way off from the size chart. Based on the measurements of my hand, I was right in line with a size medium, but when I tried them on after they arrived, they were huge! I should have ordered a size down. Second of all, the sticking holding the mitt flap to the glove started unraveling within minutes of use. I’ve only worn them once for a couple of hours, but the mitt flaps are only barely hanging on and, couple with the weird sizing, it makes me not want to wear them anymore. I can try to get the stitching redone and reinforced, but I shouldn’t have to do that for a brand new glove. They were warm though, so there’s that.

Both flaps fell off in a week

Both the flaps fell off within a week. Shocking as I only used them a couple times. It was like the stitch was not tied off. For the price I am very displeased.

Good Hybrid

A good running glove. Allows for much needed dexterity and warmth at the same time. The fit runs tight, so size up one size. The leather palm is great for the dog leash and appears it will last.

Fantastic Quality with Thoughtful Features

I loved the Fingerless Mitts—the tight-knit quality and the added magnets were fabulous touches. However, I had to return them because the palm length was an inch too long for me. While I considered washing and shrinking them (as they’re wool), I didn’t want to risk it at this price. For reference, I have medium-sized female hands with long fingers and ordered a small. Men with similar sizing might find them a better fit, but a women's version would have been perfect. The thumb length was perfect. The only other drawback was the palm patch—not actual suede, which I would expect at this price point. Otherwise, the quality and design were top-notch.

A winter staple. Warm and perfect when I need my fingers.

OR gloves/mits always exceed expectations

material is comfortable and thick enough for fall moose camp. Lots of space in mid folder for heat pack
