Bandless Ear Muffs For Men & Women, Soft Fleece Ear Warmers, 2 Sizes

I can't sing their praises enough....these are AWESOME!! I had read some reviewers that sent them back because they couldn't figure out how to put them on. I have zero problem at all with this. All you do is tuck your ears into them, then rotate slightly clockwise and counterclockwise and press to secure and they pop into place. It couldn't be easier. I wear these out for my walks as I have severe pain in my inner ear from cold air/wind in my ears. They SAVE ME! They allow me to go on all my walks with no pain in my ears at all. They hug my head so no air slips through and makes my ears cold. I would love to hug the inventors and tell them, "Thanks for giving me my walks back!" I'm headed to Europe for 6 months and these are my perfect ear companions. I used to wear the wrap around the back of my neck things that covered my ears, but these are 100 x's better! Not having that thing wrap around the back of my neck is awesome. And the fact I can pop these in my purse, pockets or any little place I need is fantastic. Let me tell you.... I buy THOUSANDS of dollars of items on Amazon and review about 2% of them due to my hectic schedule. I wore them out tonight on my walk and had to come in and make SURE I wrote this review so that others like me with inner ear pain from the cold would not hesitate to get these and know you will LOVE them!! Just practice putting them on and soon...you'll have it too! Very thankful to the creator of these!!!

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.

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.

I bought these to wear while biking during the California "winter". I commute 26 miles round trip, which takes just under an hour each way. In the northern California winter, temperatures during the morning commute can be in the mid- to high-30's or low 40's. And when you're biking, you have an automatic 15 mph breeze. My ears got COLD. These things are perfect for keeping your ears warm in any circumstance, but especially while biking. There's no band to interfere with the fit of your helmet. They block the wind but do not block any sound, so you can easily hear traffic around you. And they will not come off until you take them off. Wearing the helmet adds even more assurance that they'll stay on, but that's totally unnecessary. They won't budge even without a helmet. When you first pop them on they may feel a little uncomfortable, and you wonder if maybe your ears won't hurt after wearing them for a while. But the opposite happens - your ears get used to them in under a minute and you totally forget you're wearing them. I would totally buy these again and would happily recommend them. Good purchase.

In the past I've always bought Earbags, but I thought I would try these. Unfortunately these do not stay on and they hurt my ears too. I ordered the "regular" size, not the smaller one. I'm a 5'7" slender female - I don't know how these would fit 85% of the population as the product description says. My sister did call me Dumbo when I was a kid, but she was just kidding, right? I do like that they cover more of the side of your head - they are bigger in that way than the ear pops. But the opening for your ear is significantly smaller. I have not had any luck getting these to stay on either - they just fall off when you are standing there. It was worth a try - unfortunately now I have two pair that won't work. I don't have the materials on hand in order to return them.

I dislike the price now.
