i dont personally, but i know the wizard and hali-man have them, they look like they work great and they seem to like them, they slip on and off very easy, and with the rubber shingle type outside they grip most anything. they just run up to there tip-ups, fling there hands and the gloves come right off, no worry of snow because the rubber makes them waterproof, and with the wool type liner it keeps your hands nice and toasty :tipup:

Yep- I like mine a lot.
They are loose-fitting (even with big hands) so I can wear a pair of thin gloves underneath them. And they fling off just as Arch described...
HIGHLY recommended!

I'm pretty sure you can buy replacement liners, which isn't a bad idea.
I've had mine for three years and they're about due.

I just picked up a pair of the mittens Saturday, I hadn't seen them before. They are a lot more flexible than you might think. Haven't used them on the ice yet, but I have a hard time finding mittens to fit my paws, and these things seem great. Loose and warm and waterproof. Should be great once I make something to clip 'em on so I can whip 'em off and not lose 'em. And $10.00!!!!!!
If everyone who whined about the cold would move south, this would be a better place.

They sell them at Wal-mart...doesn't seem like many people buy them either.  Probably skeptical about them, like I was before reading this.  I think I'll pick up a pair next time I go to Norwich.  They sound great for tip-up fishing, because you can take them off, tend to your flag, and get them back on easily.  I know my hands have gotten really cold after catching a fish on the tipup, and was only made worse by the fact that I couldn't get my hands back into my mittens to warm up because they were so numb.
