Customer Reviews Columbia Kids Whirlibird Mitten (Big Kids)

The mittens themselves were great. Seemed very durable and the color was perfect. The sizing is way off. After reading other reviews, I ordered a youth size SM for my 6 year old who is very tall for her age. These gloves are nowhere near her size. She may grow into them as a teenager. I would say they are more like an adult small as opposed to a youth small.

HUGE. ADULT SIZE

Fantastic product. Good quality. Keeps you dry and warm

My son is a teenager boy, nothing last long in his hands. I got him 2 pairs gloves for this winter but they did not last. This is the third one, it seems able to last for awhile.

Daughter is using mittens for skiing in the Pacific Northwest. So far I have not heard complaints about hands being cold

these gloves are wonderful, my son can move his hands around why they stay warm and dry!

My daughter likes these mittens because, in her words, they are warmer for longer periods of time. She also likes the adjustable straps around the wrist, which makes them feel more secure. She describes the fit as looser across the palm, and likes that they fit over her jacket (even a "puffy coat") to keep snow out. "You don't need any hand warmers with these!" It's hard to find anything wrong with these mittens.

Great snow gloves. Warm, easy to put on, keeps moisture out. I bought these in small and medium as I wasn't sure what would fit my 6 year old. The small fits, but it a little big. The medium is huge, but I plan to save it and use it when my kids grow.

My seven year old has big hands and these mittens fit him perfectly. He says that his hands stay nice a warm too.

I ordered these for my 10 year old son. The fit is perfect and they are made very well. Warm and keeps his hands dry.

I bought a pair of these for my son after his cold hands kept him from enjoying our day of skiing. These keep his hands so warm when he's just playing in the snow. For a day of skiing on the coldest days he still gets cold hands but with mittens it's easy to toss in a hand warmer and he feels better quickly. I ended buying a pair for my daughter too. I like that they come up the wrist a little ways too.

My boy loves these mittens at the ski hill. They are lightweight and waterproof, so they keep his hands warm all day.

Both my husband and my son have these mittens. They are great!

Skiing playing in snow the kids never complain their hands are cold. 8yo wears med. 11 yo wears large. Love these gloves

My 6 year old loved these gloves. He said it kept his hands a lot warmer and helped us avoid tears on the ski hill!

After going through several pairs of cheaper mittens that would leave my son's hands soaked and freezing after playing in the snow, I decided to spend a little more for quality mittens. These are great! They keep my son's hands warm and dry even when the outsides of the mittens are wet from snow. He is a big 5 year old, and the size small is perfect. He loves them, and I am very happy with the quality!

Excellent for skiing

These are great mittens for the slopes or playing in the snow. Temps around 30+ no under glove was needed for several hours on the slopes. Below 30 you might want a cheap under glove if you are staying out for several hours (and don't use hand warmers)

Purchased for my 4yr old. Amazing mittens! She often takes her mittens off because her hands are hot. She has put these to the waterproof test and they have definitely held up!

Easy to get on for my son, keeps hands dry and warm

Got these for my son. We live in Minnesota. Harsh winters can test all cold weather gear. My son has said his fingers are warm. So they work great. Tested tough!

These are our favorite mitten. They are plush and warm. My son lost one of his mittens this school year and I quickly replaced it with box store mittens. After a few snow storms and cold days and 3 different sets from various brands I thought would be comparable, I was wrong. I purchased these mittens again and his hands are warm and dry again. There just is no comparison other than these stand up to cold and moisture better than others. The seams are watertight, they are flexible to grab things, they are warm and dry too. If you have a hard time getting arthritic or little fingers into gloves, then these are a perfect mitten. So easy to put on!

My wife bought this pair (child size L fits a small - medium adult) and loves these. My worry with buying kids winter gear is always that "kids" = "flimsy", not in this case, these gloves are great. These did well on all accounts (durability, warmth, water resistance) even when she had to be outside clearing off her car in the sub-zero temps of a Minnesota winter. Palm material strikes a good balance between durability and flexibility with a slight bias to flexibility.

I bought these for my 4 year old, my 10 year old has them and I have similar ones as well. Love them keep your hands warm and dry!
