Questions & Answers
They have not been tested in the rain, but they perform admirably in the snow. Keep our kids' hands dry, and the sleeve keeps snow out of their mittens! Does a fantastic job of keeping hands warm and dry. That's a fantastic mitten!
The Large is what I'd choose. I agree with the others because I wish I had for my 3-year-old son. They're a good fit for medium, but there's no room for expansion.
Is it difficult to put them on a one-year-old? No. Is it difficult to put your thumb in the right place? It can be difficult to get it in, just like any other mitten for small children; sometimes I manage to get it in, and other times I give up. However, if you put them on all the way before putting on the coat, it will be much more comfortable. The thumb can then be pulled away from the finger and worked in. It isn't difficult at all.
I was taken aback by how long the cuffs were. At the very least, they're 4" long.

The extended sleeves are fantastic; best of all, you won't have to put your child's gloves on and off every ten minutes, and there won't be any snow down the sleeves. My children's hands are kept warm and dry throughout the day. I'm so impressed with how waterproof these gloves are that I'm going to buy a pair for each of my children.
They appear to be adequate in terms of warmth and fit, but the concept does not appeal to me. My child is five years old and has been dressing himself for quite some time. These gloves, on the other hand, are impossible to put on without assistance - I wouldn't be able to put together an adult version on my own. The sleeves are designed to be worn under a coat, but with mittens on, this is impossible. If you put your mittens on first, you won't be able to zip up your coat. It's not the end of the world, but they can't be sent to school where the teacher doesn't have time to assist each child in getting dressed.
They won't fall off, and the child won't be able to take them off without difficulty. They're ideal for long periods of time spent playing in the snow, as they're both heavy and bulky. The child can still make snowballs and hold objects in his or her hands. When I bought these mittens, my child was in a size 2T. I ordered sizes ranging from 1 to 3 years, and they fit perfectly. She is now in size 3T, but there is still room for her to grow. The waterproofness has never been an issue for me. These are the best toddler mittens for outdoor play! I don't use these mittens for rushing between the house and the car because they're more of a hassle to put on and take off, and you don't need something as warm. That's where the cheap knit mittens come in handy.
We purchased these gloves based on the waterproof claims and positive feedback from others. Our daughter spent about 30 minutes this morning making snowmen in the snow. When we returned inside, the gloves were soaked all the way through! You can see where the fabric is dry along the middle of the thumb and wet all over in the photo. The glove's other side was also dripping wet. I'll be back on the spot.
My 3- year- This winter, my 12-year-old daughter has been learning to ice skate. She needs to wear waterproof mittens or gloves to keep her hands warm and dry when she falls and has to touch the ice; we had a pair of mittens that wouldn't stay on her hands, so we gave them to her. (We don't get enough snow in the Midwest to warrant a good pair of winter mittens, so we make do with a pair that aren't too expensive. ) )br>Last month, I went to a few stores looking for mittens, but it was during that bitter cold snap (and near the end of the winter season, and a year into the pandemic), so there were few options. br>The most important thing to me was that they be waterproof and stay on her hands. (I was sick of seeing her fidget with her mittens or, worse, stop class to have the coach adjust them. ) ) She desired the color yellow, which is her favorite. (Because it's impossible to come by, I told her she'd be out of luck. ) )br>In any case, these are what I came up with. They shipped from Massachusetts, but were stranded at a post office for an inordinate amount of time. During the wait, I wrote to the seller, who responded quickly, but I decided to just wait for the mittens to arrive. br>The long cuff fits all the way up to my daughter's elbow. (Her height is slightly above average, and her weight is slightly below average. ) ) We had some trouble getting her thumb into the right spot the first couple of times, but I believe that was due to us rather than the mittens. We've improved our performance. br>After putting on the mittens, she puts on a hooded sweatshirt (for the indoor ice rink), which covers the long cuff, and we adjust the wrist strap. Her hands have remained warm and dry since she began wearing them. She doesn't fidget with her mittens, as far as I can tell. Hooray. br>I'm guessing we'll keep these mittens until she outgrows them, then pass them down to her younger sister. Should we ever get a good winter snowfall (no thanks), and she wants to play outside, they appear to be suitable. Purple is a color that I like - Pretty and feminine, but not overly so.
The velcro closure is thin and will fold, and the lining on both gloves came off inside out when I pulled them out after the first use and I couldn't get them back in, so my son can no longer slide his hand into the glove all the way to the end. For something that is good for using onde, it is quite pricey. And, while having a long insert to keep snow out of the sleeves sounds like a good idea, it doesn't work in practice: The gloves are too thick to put on first, then the coat, and pulling the sleeves up far enough to stretch the material over the arms is difficult with the coat on.
Bottom line: These are a pair of snow-proof mittens that stay on and keep you warm. I'd buy them again, but I'm aware of the drawbacks. Advantages: br>br> The mitten does not fall off thanks to the "patented" sleeve. They do, however, skip a little, necessitating some hand-level adjustments. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. If you're assisting a young child, the sleeve makes it more difficult to put the gloves on than regular gloves (particularly getting the thumb into that thumb hole). I didn't realize the sleeve kept the gloves on better than regular velcro fastening in other gloves (which these gloves also have). The gloves are comfortable to wear. ish while keeping the snow at bay - in some ways.
Because my children are very active and picky about covering their hands, I purchased a variety of mittens and gloves for them to wear. Check your jackets first, so you don't make the same mistake I did. All of our waterproof snow jackets feature a thumb hole on the inside sleeve (which my kids adore). Unfortunately, because these mittens go up very high on the arms and are meant to go up into your coat sleeves, they will not work with this type of jacket (the hard core warm and waterproof kind). The issue is that you should put on these mittens before the jacket, but you can't do that with ours because the thumb hole in the jacket is too small. We also discovered that they aren't as warm as some of our other mittens/gloves, and that we would only use them with our waterproof jackets on the coldest days, so we returned them.
