I loved these gloves when I tried them on and left the store, but then 5 minutes into being outside, my hands were SO cold. I even tried once more (and it was 35 degree weather) and they still got cold. Really wanted to keep them, but decided to return if they don't do the most basic function, plus not being able to use my smartphone. Still, really gorgeous gloves and if I wasn't looking for something somewhat practical, then I would have kept. I was sad to return.
