During the recent extreme winter weather we had, I found none of my gloves were adequate for keeping my hands warm on the long walk from the parking lot into work. I have Renaud's Syndrome, which means when my finger tips get cold, they really hurt and it takes a long time for them to warm up.
I went to my usual sources, LL Bean and REI to purchase a good set of winter mittens. Neither had a good inventory left and nothing that I wanted. So I did a search of "women's winter mittens."
"Moosejaw?" I asked as my eyes went down the screen. I had never heard of them and tend to be cautious about ordering online from a company I have never heard of.
Their website is comical, most likely written and designed by a bunch of 20-somethings. But they did have what I wanted and I was desperate. So I placed the order and took the standard shipping at no charge.
The gloves arrived by FedEx this morning, less than a week from when I placed the order. I"m impressed.
Moosejaw packaging is as comical as the website. There is a big label on the outside saying, "Sealed with a Kiss" and someone signed their initials. And there was a little surprise inside the package.
I don't know how long this company has been around, but they do have good marketing skills!
How about you? Has anyone else ordered from them before?
Love that Sugar!

My Kirby has a mild form of Reynauds Syndrome too. We don't get freezing cold weather but her feet especially suffer in winter, turning blue on just a bit of a cold day. I am the total opposite, my feet and hands are always warm in winter. glad you found some good gloves,
