So clever and practical; fingerless gloves and mittens. Just not for the coldest winter days, but they have had plenty of use

Found these easy to use; novel, tons of uses, such a clever idea.

I once saw Eddie Van Halen sport a pair of fingertipless gloves for an outdoor concert during a freak early-fall blizzard. Amazingly, he didn't miss a beat -- literally. And I've since seen gloves sans fingertips on the hands of hipster eJunkies addicted to their touchscreened machines.

So, clearly there's functional value to the concept. What I don't understand is why it's taken me so long to discover that value in fishing gloves!

Anyway, these are AWESOME! They fit snug, but are not restrictive. (If unsure which size to order, opt for the larger size.) These are very comfortable, breathe well and, after a few minutes, it's easy to forget they're even on -- even in the searing Florida heat. Seriously, these gloves can be worn all day!

They grip securely, even while landing/handling the most feisty fish. The cut-out fingertips offer enough dexterity to easily tie any knot. And the longer length on the index and middle fingers make working with braided lines a breeze; honestly, you can wrap 80-lb. braid around your fingers and safely pull it tighter than an accountant's sphincter.

I'm not sure if these are sharproof, but they're definitely the greatest gloves I've ever worn. I really can't say enough good things about them! They're durable, not too expensive, and they even look good!

Fun, handy, clever, useful, what else do you need?

Perfect protection for when you are working (or cold) and still require a small amount of finger dexterity.

I have to admit, it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to use this case; and I'm pretty good with gadgets, so my hats off to the 4 year old. I thought the diagrams were confusing, and not very helpful. Now that I figured it out, I love it. It is very simple to use, silly me, and very practical. I love that the case can be used in the landscape, or portrait position; it's like having a mini TV for your desk. It would be nice if they made the case in a higher quality material, but all-in-all, it's a great little case, at a reasonable price.

These are so cute and useful!  They're not bulky like all the other silicone mitts, and I love both their cute polka dot interior, and their cherry exterior. Love them!

I love how it balances keeping some warmth with digital dexterity. It's not for winter, clearly, but it helps a lot on these nippy days where you have to work with your hands outside.

These are great alone for a little something on your hands or as a liner under a pair of mittens. Slim fit, no bulk. Great quality with grippy texture on palm and fingers.

I've seen similar gloves in the past, but I was always skeptical. I purchased these when we saw them for an amazing deal, and I'm so glad I did!

They're made of materials similar to Nomex and Kevlar, famous for use in auto racing uniforms (among other products).  The silicone is just for grip, I believe.

I have been using them for only a few days, but they've been great so far.  I machine-washed (in a mesh bag) and air-dried them, and they look good as new.

With potholders--even if I could find some thick enough to be protective, which the cute ones never are!--I'd always slip and burn my fingers.  My complaint about oven mitts is the lack of dexterity.  These gloves allow much more dexterity, though of course they're bulkier than bare hands.

These fit my (medium?) hands but are too small for my husband and our adult son.

Okay, I've been using these for about a month now on anything I can think to try them with.

I've found my stainless steel mixing bowl, standard canned foods, things with defined lips really work the best with the most versatility (with hot foods steaming inside, at room temperature, removed from the refrigerator, etc.)

As some other reviewers accurately note various container surfaces which sweat as a result of temperature change will decrease the efficacy of the product's seal, as well as make it near impossible to position the lids onto the sweating object.

I don't consider these tricky to put on. Obviously the tighter the fit the more stretching force you will need to get the lid on for that initial application. These do not permanently stretch (the return to their normal shape/size upon removal,) but the convenience in versatility comes from the fact you can use them with odd shaped containers and a variety of different sizes. For example the small size will fit comfortably over a can of veggies OR a wide mouthed coffee mug.

I find the various tabs kind of tacky to look at but this is a practical product....so I can't really knock something which is designed such for practicality. And those tabs ARE for practicality because you will want to tug or wiggle various ones to get the lids over snugger fitting containers.

So far no staining or odor absorption. These are impressively thick for something so stretchy and yet no tears or issues with strength. I have turned whole bowls upside down with the lids on as a test! Keep in mind this would not be good to test with a chilled or sweating bowl :) The lids simply loose grip with the addition of moisture.

We do use them over warm foods when leaving them out prior to refrigeration, as well as in the fridge, and I have (personally) used them in the freezer with no issue yet. They are easy to clean- we've had some greasy foods in bowls that have tipped to coat the inside of the lids and they clean up easy with warm water and soap. I, personally, would not run them through a hot dishwasher cycle for fear of compromising the material or fit. I did receive a product discount in hopes I would share my honest experiences, which I have done.

I got these gloves for skydiving in cold weather.  There is simply no room for hands and fingers not to function as needed.  I'm too new to the sport to deal with extra challenges like bad/slippery gloves or numb fingers.  I needed my fingers to be protected but I still had to have function, feel, and grip to grab and pull the ripcord.  Voila!  Obviously the gloves did their job since I'm here to write about it.  So let's get on with the less obvious, shall we?

The gloves are comfortable and fit very well.  They have a perfect amount of stretch in all the right places.  I can wear them alone or with glove liners and they still fit great and function beautifully either way.  The adjustable closing strap really holds once adjusted to comfort.

They look fantastic!  I find myself wanting to wear them out as if they are my everyday gloves.  The design is really cool looking, they certainly look like they mean business.

They really do let me use my hands and fingers to grab and hold things, even tie my shoes and adjust belts, clips, straps, etc so I don't feel like I have to take them off and be barehanded every time I need dexterity.

This has got to be one of the most clever inventions ever. It has saved my fingernails from breaking unnecessarily!! Would be a good idea for people who have finger numbness (poor circulation) too, if I had to guess. I always recommend this to friends and family. This may be a gift for the family Christmas party this year... Yes, it's that good.

I love these gloves. They are the warmest knit gloves I have ever had, thanks to the fleece lining. They protect from the wind and are soft on my hands. Unlike leather gloves, they slip on warm and cozy, even if you leave them in the car. I had a blue pair and I loved that I could answer my phone or adjust my music while I was out walking the dog on a cold winter night without taking off my gloves. The fingers are too fat for any advanced typing, but it was nice to be able to do a couple of smartphone maneuvers and keep my hands warm. Unfortunately, my daughters found out how great my gloves were and kept stealing them. I decided to get them in a few colors so I could keep track of my own! I bought the grey and the beige.

Okay, straight up, I was going to use these gloves in my kitchen (since I don't grill) as potholders and compare them to my old fabric potholders.  Then I pulled them out of the package and got a really good look at them.  First thought that came to mind?  "These would make really great cat grooming gloves!"  (I own a cat, so dealing with shedding and excess hair is constantly on my mind.)  So I figured, why not?  And you know what, I was completely right:  they make wonderful grooming tools!  The silicone nubbins really catch on to the animal's body and easily remove any excess hair without pulling or tugging on the skin, so there's no pain.  And my cat, who likes being brushed but on his own terms (you know, like a cat) absolutely adored the gloves--I couldn't make him stay away while I had them on!  Because, basically, I was petting him while grooming him, so he wasn't startled or disgruntled.  Cleaning off the hair was easy, too:  I just rubbed the gloves together while still wearing them and the hair pilled up and fell off into the garbage can that I was standing over.  The gloves were also easy to hose off (I splashed some bleach over them beforehand in case I did want to use them as potholders later on).

So while I still can't attest to the gloves usefulness at the grill or in the kitchen, I can say they are wonderful additions to my cat care arsenal.  That said, judging by how easy the gloves are to wear and how thick the silicon is, I imagine they probably work well for what they were designed.  When I actually do use the gloves for that purpose, I'll be sure to update my review. :)

Edit:  As of 8/11/2015, I have used these gloves for what they're actually designed, or at least closer to.  On one occasion, I used them to handle a bowl of oatmeal taken straight from the microwave.  I held my hands against the hottest part of the bowl for at least a minute and only in the last 30 seconds or so did I feel any significant heat coming through the gloves; even then, the warmth was mild and certainly not enough to cause me any pain or discomfort.  On another occasion I used the gloves to handle a baking pan used in my convection toaster oven; again, I held my hands in direct contact with the heated metal and while the heat filtered in quicker than it did with the oatmeal, it again never reached the point where I felt uncomfortable or that I needed to quickly drop the pan.  So, basically, the gloves are fabulous!  They're the best possible combination of heavy-duty protection and flexibility for ease of use.  I can see how they would be quite useful working at the grill or near any source of heat.  I would highly recommend these gloves to anyone working in the kitchen or out on the grill . . . or needing to groom their pet!

First time I've ever had gloves that can exposed the fingers like this and I can see that it would be very handy at times. I've always heard that mittens are better at keeping fingers warm because they are nested together. These gloves are very warm and I like how the finger and thumb covers are easily removable and a storage pocket is provided for the finger cover if you want to keep the fingers exposed for an extended period of time. Shipping was spot on with the projection. Very happy with purchase and vendor.
