I can't believe the half-mitts didn't sell that well.I mean, I believe it because that's what the riv says, but dang, they are awesomely useful and usable. Best thing next to trigger mittens for riding a bike below 40F, or down to the teens or 20s with an extra layer. The stock stitching does come undone eventually, but I love mine and plan to repair them until they are dust but would gladly sew together more once that happens.
