Pairs perfectly with the matching scarf. Large enough to accommodate my fingers and nails.
I wouldn't advise for driving because they are very soft and smooth. Much better for short walking trips.
This sweater is both light and very warm. It also looks great. Indeed I am wearing it so much I fear I'll wear it out. If you wear it over a lighter sweater it keeps you comfortable for long car rides in freezing weather. Next year I hope I can find the same sweater in a different color.
During fall and winter, I wear fingerless gloves. They keeps my hands warm. These are beautiful. The design is truly a subtle artistic statement piece and the compliments from strangers are many!
