Sweater Chalet is a great supplier; Dachstein wool is superb.
Once I got the size corrected I found the mittens to be exactly what I wanted: quality wool, well constructed, room inside for my fingers, and a handwarmer packet when I choose . I bought them after the season and haven't had a chance to test them under really trying conditions but am confident they will do their duty.A slight caution. I ordered a 7 for a man's small hands according to the measuring instructions.. They turned out to be very narrow, almost as if they were made for a woman. I call Sweater Chalet, talked to Rick. We both got out our rulers and resolved that I should have a size 8. I returned the 7s and ordered 8s to my complete satisfaction. It turned out my short hands were to wide for the narrow 7, and I can't imagine any man's hands fitting into a 7, the length of the fingers notwithstanding. Super guy, Rick.

Superb mittens!
These are high quality mittens! I went up a size, because I like mine with room for a thin liner glove (to keep my fingers from freezing metal when I need to manipulate locked gates)--and will add the proper waterproof/wind blocking over mitt to them to finish the system. The seller was awesome and even listed the lovely red color for me. These will work great for northern Idaho winters. Love how they have the proper extended wrist covering length--your wrists are where you lose a lot of heat, smart designing here!I recommend getting these mitts--and please be sure and pick up over mitts for them, some people here just can't seem to figure out that wool means insulation not wind blocking or waterproof.

I have to wear a compression glove on one of my hands which causes my hand temperature to drop, which is a dangerous problem in the wintertime. These mittens absolutely keep my hand warm though I agree with other reviewers that the length up the wrist is entirely and unnecessarily too long. Winter coats are now made with long cuffs that grip the wrists, and the double layer of the mitten cuff and the coat cuff can be quite uncomfortable for circulation to the hands as well as just constricting. Aside from that, these mittens are AWESOME.BUT the thumb on my special hand, which I keep in my pocket nearly all of the time when I'm out in cold weather, came unraveled on this pair and the orange pair. It's a mystery why, but the WONDERFUL PEOPLE AT DACHSTEIN replaced my mittens immediately.

Fantastic
I ordered these mittens before the winter storm hit. They are fantastic i took them out on an 18 mile run in temperatures of 10 degrees and it felt like -6 i must say they kept my hands nice and warm. I am very pleased with this product and thankful that they came early before the winter storm. If i could give these mittens mores than 5 stars i would.

WOW!
Most winters I have usually worn gloves when outside but after going thru Chemo treatments I have developed neuropathy in my fingers, which tend to go bluish gray even in cooler weather and have tried to find warmer gloves or mittens. I found these mittens and wondered if they would fit my chopper leather mittens and decided to order a pair. I am impressed with these mittens already and hope I will be just as impressed when it gets cold, snow blowing. Time will tell! Also, these fit my Canadian Leather Chopper Mits very well, which I am pleased with. These mittens may be a little expensive but from what I've seen so far, I would buy another pair of these in a heartbeat! This will be my first Boiled Wool product; hope they don't disappoint!

Warm boiled-wool mittens at a great price
I had boiled wool mittens for years until I lost them. Looking for a new pair, I discovered they've gotten pretty expensive. Fortunately, I found these Dachstein mittens at a great price. Well made and very warm. Boiled wool is wind resistant and a great material for mittens. I highly recommend these mittens.

Perfect for cold Maine winters!
The red mittens are beautiful. The boiled wool process creates a dense material that cold, bitter winds can’t cut through. The cuffs are a good length. And they are woolen! They deserve a gold medal!!
