Cons:
Expensive, Low Quality, The shell ISN'T insulated
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The inner gloves are fine. The shells are little more than thin plastic and are not insulated. The shells cannot be worn on their own without the inner glove. These things are absolutely awful. My old mitts cost only [$] and I've had them too many years to count before they finally started wearing out. These mitts are [$] and are not one-tenth as good as my old mitts.
