Dale of Norway Vail wool mittens

Love the pattern as it complements all my solid colored winter coats and jackets. Red, navy, cobalt, green grey, black, et. However, these are spot clean ONLY, so not meant for easy washing in the laundry AND while mittens in general make it challenging to deal with house keys, phones, etc., these are doubly so. They are a very fitted fit to keep you warm, BUT expect challenges keeping them on to grab certain items or do certain functions. I needed something casual to go with everything which is why I got them, and the warmth is amazing for the horribly cold days in Chicago, but beware they're not the easiest to keep clean long term and expect some challenges grabbing things. Hence the 3/5 star review. However in terms of looks and warmth, they get the top score. "Nuff said!
