X-Gear Solid Ice Scraper Mitts (2-Pack, Black and Red)This is a slightly different take on the classic ice scraper by enclosing a scraper within a plush "glove" that is also waterproof. The plush material feels like the stuff used in many winter gloves and Mechanix Wind Resistant gloves. It is a warm and comfortable polyester material. The outer covering of the X-Gear is a more water resistant cover.The scraper itself is a big drawback to the overall design. It is nothing more than a standard scraper design (flat tapered handle) tucked inside the "glove" and secured with a plastic tie. I confused this tie with the same type of tie used for labels on new clothes, the ones that fit through with a "T" and are supposed to be cut off. Well, after I cut the tie on my X-gear scraper, I noticed the scraper can now be removed from the "glove"!After using the X-Gear for a few minutes on my windshield, the lack of ergonomics becomes very apparent. The ice scraper that I had been using had a much longer molded handle designed for comfort and reach. When using the X-Gear, it is essentially like using the small compact scraper but with a big glove wrapped around it.The material enclosing the scraper handle makes it hard to grip securely. The external mitt can be tight if a thick jacket is worn. I could feel the cold air seeping in through the mit. I felt that if I could wear my regular gloves, it'd be a lot warmer although the gloves could get wet in slushy conditions. The scraper mitt could at least dry out separately while I wear my gloves to conduct other business.The scraper blade itself is very good. It's very sharp and consistent, and made short work of the ice on the windshield.Overall: 4/5 stars. It does keep your hand rather warm and dry, but the scraper itself isn't that ergonomic. The ice chisel design is very innovative though, and comes in handy with surfaces like side view mirrors or the ice that builds up on windshields. I'd give it 5 stars if the scraper handle were designed better.
