My wife gave me a pair a few years ago for christmas...they are still like new.. because i cant get my tiny paws into a pair of large ones... I have a pair of jocco Therm mits that i simply love... the fist pair lasted 10 years and i still have them the fleece lining is worn but the rubber exterrior is still leak free ..I use them for running the snow blower... I use the new one for fishing.
