Customers are satisfied with the warmth of the earmuffs. They say that they keep their ears warm and are great for cold weather. Some customers also mention that the ear muffs are an absolute lifesaver for keeping the cold air out and the ears protected in the cold weather, as they lose a lot of body heat through their ears.

When your ears are colder than your head....

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

Size: RegularColor: Safety OrangeVerified Purchase

I live in Anchorage, AK and it's frequently the case when I'm out cross country skiing that I don't need a winter hat (because I'm getting a sweat-inducing workout), but I do need something to keep my ears warm. Ear Mitts are perfect. During very cold weather, Ear Mitts keep my ears toasty even if my hat or neck gaiter cannot cover my ears completely. Also, in the shoulder seasons, mornings and evenings can be pretty cool leading and riding a bike frequently results in headaches from a cold inner ear. Ear Mitts once against work here because they shield the ear from the wind.

These are a necessary part of my outdoor gear.

Keeps ears warm without pinching

I swear by these ear mitts. This is the second pair that I've bought in 10 years. They last well, they stay on, they're warm and comfortable. I got the small because I'm a small person. They don't pinch your ears. I always have my hair tied back when I use them, so I'm not sure how well they'd stay on with my hair down. (I have long hair.) But works great for when I need my ears warm but can't wear my hat.

Easy to use and cozy to boot!

Size: RegularColor: BlackVerified Purchase

The ear mitts are very soft. When I first received them, I was a bit skeptical as to how well they would fit or how comfortable they would be due to how small and thin in appearance they were.

Well, I can say for sure that after about a week of using them that I am not going to be switching back to banded ear mitts any time soon!

The ear mitts fit on easily and snap on with little effort. They do a decent job of keeping your ears warm, though after a bit of time you will start to feel a slight chill. The mitts are also a bit prone to becoming uncomfortable after a long periods of time, but honestly, will you really be wearing these for more than 2 and a half hours at a time (I left them on and forgot about them....it wasn't until 2 hours had passed that I started to feel a slight discomfort around my ears...oops).

I gave this 4 stars because of the fact that it is initially strange and slightly uncomfortable at first. You get used to it after a while, but I am unable to shake the initial discomfort.

For anyone who spends time working or playing outdoors in the cold, Ear Mitts are absolutely wonderful! No uncomfortable head/neck band to deal with, no slipping out of place, near zero reduction in hearing(a real plus), easy to use, super lightweight and comfortable, affordable, AND they keep your ears warm despite cold and wind chill factor! Have yet to try them in sub zero temperatures but since they fit comfortably under hat/sport helmet, they should perform well. Nice to find a simple product that simply works well!

Great concept, pretty effective but more $ and less comfortable than Earbags brand

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2016

I live in a very cold and snowy climate and winters here can be brutal. Also, I work at a University, which means I have to trudge through the snow at least half a mile from where I park to get to my building every day. That can be very unpleasant first thing in the morning on some days. In addition, I go to the gym at 5:30 am 3 days per week, and while that's a quicker walk in from the parking lot, it's still really cold and with my hair up in a ponytail, I can't wear a beanie. I wanted something I could wear and then put in my pocket while I work out.

I have very sensitive ears and when they get cold or lots of wind blows on/in them, I am not a happy camper. I get really bad headaches as a result. I have always worn beanies (toboggans, hats, whatever you call them where you're from) or the band style ear muffs, but I also have very long, very fine, very straight hair. This is relevant for a lot of reasons. If I start out the day with a beanie or band style head band on, my hair will be flat, dented and very staticky for the rest of the day. Not to mention the forehead lines that take a while to go away sometimes. I HATE that! Winter is the absolute worst time for my hair as it is because it gets so dry. I don't need hats and ear muffs making things worse. My hope was that these things (which are an ingenious invention) would take the edge off of Jack Frost for my poor ears while maintaining my hair style.

Indeed they do! I now own both these and another brand of a similar product (Earbags by Sprigs) and have done a thorough side by side comparison over the last few weeks to determine which are best. While these do work at keeping my ears warm for short stints outdoors and help preserve my hair, they are not my favorite for a few reasons:

1) The price point is something like $6-10 MORE for these than the other brand and I can't find any reason for that in terms of quality, comfort and warmth. Also, the others come with a cute little drawstring pouch to keep them in and these come with nothing.
2) These are larger and bulkier with a harder outer shell (see the side by side pics). The biggest problem is how tall they are. While you have them on, if you so much as tilt your head too much to one side they bump into your neck or shoulder causing them to come lose or pull on your ears. I found this awkward and uncomfortable. You definitely won't forget you have them on.
3) These are not as cute, with fewer style, color and design choices.
4) Probably the most important thing to me is comfort and these pinch/hurt my ears more and more quickly than the other brand. Any product you put on/over or around your ears is going to cause discomfort eventually, but I can't wear these for longer than 20-30 minutes without having to take them off. That isn't the case with the earbags. They are much more comfortable for longer periods. Again, my ears are pretty sensitive so others might have a different experience, but that's me.

I do like that these can be worn under my hair or with my hair behind my ears, that they keep my ears pretty warm for short stints outside in cold weather and really help cut down on wind, and that I can wear them with my sunglasses on. Beyond that however, I have to say that the prize of best over ear warmer goes to the Earbags by Springs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I will probably give these ones to my husband to use or keep them in my car.

All in all they work pretty well but aren't my favorites. Hopefully this helps someone else! I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount.
