ladies, these gloves work for us too. They look rather classy and they don't have the brand name plastered all over the back of the glove - I really resent being an unpaid advertiser for clothing manufacturers! I can easily turn the pages of a newspaper, fish out my travel card from inner pocket and grab hold of coins. Although it hasn't been really cold lately they do seem to keep my hands very warm, and that's a major achievement, believe me. They also reach above the wrist which means there's no gap between glove and sleeve. Really worth the extra money. Now all i have to do is not lose one, but at this price i will probably take more care.
