are you serious?

I was involved in a horrific sewing machine accident a couple of weeks ago, and two of my fingers are now joined together at the distal phalanges. So unfortunately gloves are no longer an option for me.

I REALLY wish my fingers could stay warm in gloves, but they just can't - and I don't have Raynaud's (though I feel like my symptoms walk right up to the line - burning painfully cold fingers that cannot warm themselves in gloves).

Even thin fleece mittens are better than gloves for me (and then I mostly keep my hands clenched in a fist to help keep the fingers warm).

As others have said, you don't need dexterity all that much. Yes, it is a pain to take off the mitten to do the thing that needs to be done, but it's still faster and warmer and more comfortable to take off the minute for 20-30 seconds than being in gloves for the entire time outside.

Yes! Here they are. I bought them at REI years ago, so maybe now there are even better ones out there:

NINETY FIVE DOLLAR MITTENS

Jesus take the wheel!

I got mittens for $50 half price one year in December, wore them for 8 years, one got lost so. . . It's hard to find wool mittens and that's what I needed. Anyway, that was $6 a year.

They are inconvenient, and I don't like the gloves that have open fingertips and a mitten top to flip over them, but I live with it. I can curl up my fingers if my hand is still cold and they are basically warmer. I have to take them off to clip my dog's leash or use a house key but the extra warmth is worth it.

Plus I love my mittens. I got them online from a Minnesota business that makes them from wool sweaters. They're dark blue with a colorful pattern in the cuffs (fleece lining, I'd prefer something stretchier but that's the only gripe). They started wearing holes in a few spots after a couple of years so I do visible mending with a darning needle and multicolored yarn and they get increasingly colorful.

I have nice leather gloves for dress up but rarely use them.

These are the style I am seeing everywhere.

I'm only unlocking my door when I'm coming back inside from my walk, so, my mittens are coming off then anyways.

I'm perfectly able to walk wearing mittens.

Again, the door example is bizarre because if you're opening a door to your house, a shop, a restaurant, etc that means you are going indoors and removing your mitten anyways

OP is very hung up on how you open the door.

lol you can open a door with mittens on!

So many posts bragging about their amazing mittens not one has posted links.

Nothing is that cold here to require a discussion on this but mittens are hands down better than finger gloves
