My 2015 New Year Resolution is to walk to work and back everyday when possible. That’s 30 minutes one way twice a day, so long as it is not raining. Even though is is pretty cold in the a.m. here in NY I start to warm up after 5 minutes of brisk walking. Except for my hands, just cannot get them warm, until I got these Alki’i Thermal Mittens. Now my hands are warm and they stay warm as long as I am walking to and from work. I admit they are not the prettiest mittens in town, but they do their job. Happy!!
