Kombi Men's Opener Mitts - Black

Mitts are warmer than I expected and I think the strings at thing them together. The inner gloves aren’t great at manipulating a smartphone though.

when you fall snowboarding snow will get it and the warmer sometimes fell out. neat magnet tech. with no thumb to use tech is limited to use. not as warm as my other Kombi mits

I mainly got those "convertible" mittens for dog walking. WARMTH: My opinion on their warmth is very subjective, since I seem to have bad circulation in my hands, I'm always cold no matter what kind of gloves/mittens I wear. So with those mittens and a merino wool liner I will last a maximum 30 minutes in -10 C before my fingers start getting uncomfortably cold. Those come with thin touch-screen capable liners, but I swapped them for merino wool liners for extra warmth. CONSTRUCTION+DESIGN: I basically risked buying these because I couldn't find any details on the design anywhere. I thought that the "magnetic" feature is something that would hold the "flap" when you "unzip" the mitten to expose your fingers. It turns out that there is no zipper, and that the magnetic feature is the seal/closure itself, the seam of the mitten seems to have a row of tiny magnets that snap together to seal the mitten. It is very tight and secure magnetic seal, I haven't had issues with it opening accidentally. The thumb part has a different construction, seems thinner, my thumb gets cold first. Also, only the 4 fingers are exposed when you open the mitts to use your fingers, which can be annoying and not very functional. I squeeze out my thumb too when I need full dexterity, just an extra step. The faux leather material that helps with grip is not sturdy. It already has leash scratch/marks after a couple of weeks of use. So they will probably wear-out very soon as I continue to use them for dog walks. PROS: - convertible, they allow me to pull out a potty bag and pick up poop easily. - waterproof, they haven't gotten wet with holding a muddy wet leash. - they have an elastic attachment to keep the liner glove attached so that you don't lose the liners. I will continue to look for very warm convertible mittens that are waterproof. I won't buy those again.

Love the magnetic design and thought they’d be great gloves for general wear + skiing. However, snow easily got into the mitts through the magnetic opening. The glove liners that also came with it are not actually touchscreen friendly (it has the touch screen fingertips but doesn’t work on phones). Would not recommend this product at all.
