I had a pair of gloves like these nearly 20 years ago and I wore them every winter until they literally fell apart. I'd bought them at a small local store, and I couldn't find them so many years later when the pair I had finally gave up the ghost. For the next couple of years, I kept watch at stores for gloves like these but never found any.
During all those years afterwards, it never occurred to me to check the Internet for them. Last week, I got on Amazon to leave some feedback and saw these on a flash sale. Oh the nostalgia... After it wore off.... and I saw the flash sale was almost over.... I bought them!
It's so nice to have convertible gloves like this again!! I have large hands, so wearing bulky gloves makes common work tasks like picking up small objects or pressing small buttons nigh impossible at times. With these, I can use my fingers freely! Do the mitten cover tops work as well as standard mittens or full length gloves? Of course not. But it still warms my hands enough, and I happily trade extra glove warmth for more capability with my hands.
With old bulky gloves, for example, my hands stayed completely warm. But if I wanted to say, get my keys out of my pocket, I had to take a glove off to get the keys. With these convertible gloves, my hands stay fairly warm with the mitten top covers on, but if I want to get my keys, I just flip back one of the mitten covers, dig into my pocket and get the keys, then pull the mitten cover back over my fingers.
These gloves have reminded me why I so fondly remember the old set of convertible gloves I had, and why I wore them literally to pieces.

The attached pictures show him reading the newspaper after being release from the hospital. He is an amputee and he fractured his other "good" knee. The simple pleasures of these fingerless gloves make him happy!

Happy dad :-)
By Susan on February 24, 2016
I am rating these on behalf of my father because I bought these gloves for him as a Christmas gift. He had a different pair that he wore everyday. He really likes them and put them on as soon as he got them. I also bought another pair of these gloves in a different color so he can rotate them and wear one pair while the other one is in the wash. Next step: getting him to take them off so we can rotate and wash them!By Susan on February 24, 2016

There were some things I noticed though that made me mark down a few stars. First and foremost, they aren't nearly as thick as I thought they would be, but my hands stayed relatively warm so I can't complain. I did notice that I could feel the breeze through the fabric of the glove on the left hand but didn't have that problem with the right handed glove. Also, as soon as I opened the gloves they appeared as if they were covered in some kind of pet hair. I took an up close picture of what I'm talking about. And there were random loose threads in between the fingers on the gloves. Also, the piece of fabric that loops around the button to keep the fingers exposed was really difficult to get off of the button. It's just a small piece of thread that I don't see holding up well after multiple uses. Lastly, I have small hands for a grown woman and these gloves are small. They fit me fine, but are tight in the fingers and the wrist. I don't see these fitting someone with normal size hands.

Cute, kept my hands relatively warm
By ahayden on December 6, 2020
The gloves are cute and functional. It is December in Chicago and I wore them on an evening walk. It was 39° and my hands stayed warm for the most part. I liked that I could easily remove the mitten part on my fingers so I could take picture of the Christmas lights I came up on.By ahayden on December 6, 2020
