With the winter holidays fast approaching, many of us are starting to think
about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas gifts for teachers, friends, family and
other loved ones. Gloves are traditional and practical gifts, but not always
exciting. A gift-worthy pair needs something special, such as a pretty color
or luxury materials, to make the recipient's eyes light up when they unwrap
their present.
The long lambskin leather touchscreen gloves I bought myself a couple of years
ago are beautifully made, have a soft, plush lining, look and feel much more
expensive than they are and keep my hands and arms toasty warm during the cold
winter months.
I'm sharing my in-depth product review of these yummy, extra-long, warm winter
gloves that would make a luxurious and surprisingly affordable gift idea for
the women on your holiday shopping list.

Here in New England, winters are long, snowy and bitter cold. Even when I
lived in New York City, I always purchased warm winter gloves that extended
several inches above my wrist. However, once I moved to the Boston area I
found that they weren't long enough to protect my forearms from the bite of
the arctic winter wind, which forced its way inside my coat sleeves every time
I bent my arms to take something out of my purse, such as a tissue or bus
fare, or use my phone.
I have always had a weakness for high-quality, cashmere-lined lambskin leather
gloves. I had several pairs, purchased when I still lived in Manhattan and
long before I got my first mobile phone, that were still in great shape.
However, in addition to not being long enough, they also weren't touchscreen
compatible. So, when I used public transportation to get from our house in the
suburbs into Boston and back, every time I wanted to check the status of the
bus I was waiting for, listen to my audiobook, check my email, text or phone
messages, call a taxi, etc., I had to remove my right glove and expose my hand
to the freezing cold.
I tried a pair of long, knitted cashmere gloves similar to, but a bit shorter
than, these
long cashmere blend touchscreen gloves. Although they were long enough to protect my forearms when I bent my elbows
and allowed me to keep my hands covered while using my phone, they weren't
warm enough for my needs.
Eventually, however, I found my current pair of well made, very warm, long
leather gloves with touchscreen compatible fingertips. Jackpot!
What I Love About VIKIDEER Long, Lined, Warm Lambskin Leather Gloves
Here are some of the reasons I recommend these excellent quality, surprisingly
affordable
VIKIDEER lined, long, warm leather gloves
for yourself or as a gift.
Buttery Soft, Supple, Genuine Lambskin Leather
These feel deliciously smooth, soft and luxurious from the moment you take
them out of the box.

Warm, Plush Lining
The genuine leather shell, silky soft polyester plush lining and windproof,
close stitching keep even my temperature-sensitive hands toasty warm during
our cold, snowy, windy New England winters.
Long Enough To Protect Forearms Against the Wind
I bought these luxurious leather gloves in the three-quarter length (15.5"
long), which covers most of my forearms, so when I bend my arms there's no gap
where skin is exposed to the cold or wind. These warm winter gloves are also
available in a longer elbow length (19.6" long).

Choice of Four Colors
Both the 15.5-inch and 19.6-inch lengths are available in
Black,
Brown,
Champagne (which I would
call tan or saddle brown) and
Red. I bought the
15.5-inch long gloves in the rich, dark chocolate brown to go with my faux
fur-lined microsuede hooded coat. I'm also planning to buy a black pair to go with my nearly ankle-length, black, hooded down coat, which I wear
on the coldest days.
High Quality, Made to Last
The materials and workmanship make them durable and wear resistant. The
lambskin leather also becomes even softer and more supple with wear and
gradually conforms to the shape of your hands over time.
After wearing mine frequently throughout two frigid Massachusetts winters, the
leather as well as the fleece lining and stitching have all held up
beautifully.
Touchscreen Compatible
These may look like traditional, high quality, warm leather gloves, but there
is a hidden feature (probably conductive thread stitching or fabric between
the lambskin leather shell and the soft, cozy plush lining) that also makes
these touchscreen gloves. I love being able to use my mobile phone, tablet or
Kindle while I'm on the go without having to remove my gloves (especially
since it is harder to put a long glove back on while wearing a long-sleeved
winter coat).
True to Size
These are sold in small, medium, large, extra-large and extra-extra large
sizes rather than numerical glove sizes. I ordered the medium, which equaltes
to my usual glove size 7, and found that the fit is true to size. At the time
of this post's publication, 88% of Amazon buyers who rated the fit of these
gloves also said they fit true to size.
Here is a size guide to help you choose the best fit for yourself or your gift
recipient:
Small (6.5)
Medium (7)
Large (7.5)
X-Large (8)
XX-Large (8.5)
Attractive Gift Box
These beautiful, warm winter gloves arrive in an elegant tissue-lined gift box
with gold embossing, ready for holiday gift giving. Just add wrapping paper
and a bow!
A Fantastic Value
These plush lined, genuine lambskin leather gloves look, feel and last like
pairs that cost much more. The gift box is a lovely, unexpected bonus.
Luxury Gifts for Her at An Affordable Price
You won't find more elegant, luxurious, well made and affordable gifts for
women for less than $37 for these 15.5-inch, three-quarter-length lambskin
leather gloves. Even the longer, 19.6-inch elbow-length gloves cost less than
$40.
They would make excellent Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Christmas gifts as well as
birthday or Valentine's Day gifts that the lucky recipients will enjoy and
appreciate for many years to come.
Consider a Pair For Yourself
These high-quality warm winter gloves are as practical as they are pretty. If
yours don't have touchscreen compatible fingertips or you're tired of having
cold hands in the winter, consider treating yourself to a pair of these
beautiful, long-lasting, affordable, long leather gloves. You deserve to have
warm hands this winter, too!
