The gloves keep warm (I live in Philadelphia and I usually have cold hands) and they are stylish. However, the stitching is uneven and inconsistent. They ripped after the second week of being worn. I don't do any unusual activity with my hands - just everyday wear: opening doors, carrying a book and so on. The gloves are not very durable and it's a shame because they are a good value and the material and lining are good, it's just the stitching that's the problem.
