Also, it's "pilling" and not "piling." Whups.
I really wanted to like these gloves, but the presentation on the underside was a complete disappointment. The shiny pieces on the palms don’t appear anywhere in the product photos on the website, which makes the surprise even more frustrating. In person, they look overly feminine — more like decorative ladies’ gloves than a practical tool for typing. Because of that, I can’t wear them in public without feeling out of place. It’s a shame, because the concept is strong, but this design choice, and the lack of transparency in the images, make them unusable for me. I genuinely hope future versions address this.
Great gloves... excellent support.
Gloves didn't last two weeks before developing holes in the stitching and at the finger tips.
After searching for and trying out numerous solutions to my cold hands, I discovered The Writer's Glove!
It sounded exactly what I needed and was looking for. The numerous positive reviews solidified my impressions. And so I ordered a pair to try out for the coming cold season. I dutifully measured my hand size and ordered what I felt was the appropriate size for me, a Medium.
I received them a few days later, but did not have much time to test them but tried them on. They were a bit tight but might work. I finally had the time but they were too tight, so I submitted a request for exchange to a Large size, and that I was aware of that I'd have to pay the return shipping, which I felt was fair.
Then I received a reply email from Ben, saying "happy to help with this. A new pair of Large gloves is on its way to you, no charge. There is no need to send the Medium gloves back. Feel free to give them to someone who could use them. I'd rather they benefit someone than make you stand in line at the Post Office!"
I was astounded and replied back to him saying "Thank you, Ben! Very generous and gracious of you. I truly appreciate it." What a great experience, what gracious and caring and personal service and support. Very rare.
Definitely not the norm.
Can't stop biting my cuticles, these are helping, without getting in the way of productivity.

Hello, Ben!
Emanu(e)l here. I am glad to see my input has been presented in your video. One can see your dedication to delivering only the best to your customers.
Although I am looking forward to version 3.0 of The Writer’s Glove, I can’t say I would be willing to replace the pair I have any time soon. That’s a good thing.
One aspect I would like to clarify is what I meant by the cooling effect when performing sudden moves. When executing brusque motions with my hands while wearing the gloves, the air in the space between and around my hand and the glove, not just between my fingers, cools down significantly. These are not the first gloves I have ever worn that caused this aerodynamic effect, and I believe the other ones were made of similar materials which is why I suspect the fabric to be the issue.
Other than that, as I’ve mentioned, the lint and unraveling have not limited the gloves’ functionality so far, and it’s been 3 months of on-and-off wearing (thank you global warming) since they arrived.
In any case, the gloves are a quality product, and I trust they will only become better as new iterations come out.
Btw, Romania’s national sport is called oina, a traditional game similar in many ways to baseball, that is even rumored to have inspired the latter.
