I bought this item from EarthHero several months ago, so I’ve had plenty of time to test it out. Consequently, this is a longer review (that I hope helps out other customers).
Overall this is a good product. I wish these arm warmers came in a small and large size, though, as it fits loosely on my slim hands and wrists. I’m glad this is made of organic cotton! Even better would be if Maggie’s Organics made an undyed version of this, too, to best accommodate MCS customers and whoever just doesn’t want to deal with the dye fading over time or highlighting the natural formation of lint. After washing mine several times, lint started forming already, but I bought these hand warmers more for function than form. And last thing: the (I think it was plastic) stiff tie that bound the product together with a tag when it was new…it left holes through the fabric after removing it… Not a huge deal, but I hope this brand improves their product packaging to not pre-poke holes through their items. All that said, these arm warmers are pretty decent and I’d recommend them.

My wife’s complaint was always “the cold air goes up my arms past my gloves.” So I got her these and problem solved. Perfect.

Disappointed that spandex is included, with a spandex blend, these cannot be composted at end-of-life. A ribbed cotton fabric has enough stretch…
