EAR MITTS Bandless Fleece Ear Warmers for Men & Women - Soft, Comfortable Protection from the Cold

John McCormick: I live in Anchorage, AK and it's frequently the case when I'm out cross country skiing that I don't need a winter hat (because I'm getting a sweat-inducing workout), but I do need something to keep my ears warm. Ear Mitts are perfect. During very cold weather, Ear Mitts keep my ears toasty even if my hat or neck gaiter cannot cover my ears completely. Also, in the shoulder seasons, mornings and evenings can be pretty cool leading and riding a bike frequently results in headaches from a cold inner ear. Ear Mitts once against work here because they shield the ear from the wind.

These are a necessary part of my outdoor gear.

Amazon Customer: I swear by these ear mitts. This is the second pair that I've bought in 10 years. They last well, they stay on, they're warm and comfortable. I got the small because I'm a small person. They don't pinch your ears. I always have my hair tied back when I use them, so I'm not sure how well they'd stay on with my hair down. (I have long hair.) But works great for when I need my ears warm but can't wear my hat.

Nasty: I dislike the price now.

KellyKelly: I live in a very cold and snowy climate and winters here can be brutal. Also, I work at a University, which means I have to trudge through the snow at least half a mile from where I park to get to my building every day. That can be very unpleasant first thing in the morning on some days. In addition, I go to the gym at 5:30 am 3 days per week, and while that's a quicker walk in from the parking lot, it's still really cold and with my hair up in a ponytail, I can't wear a beanie. I wanted something I could wear and then put in my pocket while I work out.

I have very sensitive ears and when they get cold or lots of wind blows on/in them, I am not a happy camper. I get really bad headaches as a result. I have always worn beanies (toboggans, hats, whatever you call them where you're from) or the band style ear muffs, but I also have very long, very fine, very straight hair. This is relevant for a lot of reasons. If I start out the day with a beanie or band style head band on, my hair will be flat, dented and very staticky for the rest of the day. Not to mention the forehead lines that take a while to go away sometimes. I HATE that! Winter is the absolute worst time for my hair...

DebOnAmazon: I can't sing their praises enough....these are AWESOME!! I had read some reviewers that sent them back because they couldn't figure out how to put them on. I have zero problem at all with this. All you do is tuck your ears into them, then rotate slightly clockwise and counterclockwise and press to secure and they pop into place. It couldn't be easier. I wear these out for my walks as I have severe pain in my inner ear from cold air/wind in my ears. They SAVE ME! They allow me to go on all my walks with no pain in my ears at all. They hug my head so no air slips through and makes my ears cold.
I would love to hug the inventors and tell them, "Thanks for giving me my walks back!" I'm headed to Europe for 6 months and these are my perfect ear companions. I used to wear the wrap around the back of my neck things that covered my ears, but these are 100 x's better! Not having that thing wrap around the back of my neck is awesome. And the fact I can pop these in my purse, pockets or any little place I need is fantastic.
Let me tell you.... I buy THOUSANDS of dollars of items on Amazon and review about 2% of them due to my hectic schedule. I wore them out tonight on my walk and had...

Billy: The ear mitts are very soft. When I first received them, I was a bit skeptical as to how well they would fit or how comfortable they would be due to how small and thin in appearance they were.

Well, I can say for sure that after about a week of using them that I am not going to be switching back to banded ear mitts any time soon!

The ear mitts fit on easily and snap on with little effort. They do a decent job of keeping your ears warm, though after a bit of time you will start to feel a slight chill. The mitts are also a bit prone to becoming uncomfortable after a long periods of time, but honestly, will you really be wearing these for more than 2 and a half hours at a time (I left them on and forgot about them....it wasn't until 2 hours had passed that I started to feel a slight discomfort around my ears...oops).

I gave this 4 stars because of the fact that it is initially strange and slightly uncomfortable at first. You get used to it after a while, but I am unable to shake the initial discomfort.
