I am going to get on my soapbox here, gang. Please feel free to knock me off my high horse. I know I can count on you.
I walk with a club and friends who are all fairly "serious" walkers. Many of these men and women spend tens of dollars on new mittens every few years. I understand this.
However VERY few use mitten clips.
For those who don't know, mitten clips are small device that prevent mittens from dropping to the ground. They are simple and come in two varieties, black and brown. They are so simple to install that even I can do it. I have. They work. Even if the mitten somehow drops, it does NOT get stuck between your arm and your jacket sleeve.
When I mention this to my friends, most of them say "oh, I almost never drop my mittens, I don't need them."
That said, on any given walk there is almost always one or two short stops where someone drops their mittens. And I roll my eyes.
On yesterday's walk, one of the walkers dropped her mittens and was clueless about it, and kept walking, her mitten got so dirty that it may have sullied her sleeve when it was put back on.
