We loved them so much we had to continue the Swany hit parade with their Eco-Circle Performance Gloves!  Lightweight, they are perfect for the weather that is upon us now.  How did it get to be 50 degrees already in Manhattan?  Peachy Deegan broke out the bottle of scotch last night for the first time since last winter.  Until Peachy can get on Liberty Jet to Florida, she's going to be wearing these winners on her fingers!  The panel of men and women rave:

As a person who indulges in outdoor winter sports, I am in love with the Swany Brand. They just create amazing products that are great looking, fabulous feeling and they perform above expectations. Their line of Swany ECO-FLEECE gloves are 100% recyclable making it even more friendly to wear. The fleece is soft yet warm and has not pilled or gotten that fleece worn in look that I hate. They are perfect to keep in the car for driving. Fantastic for going on a late fall, early winter hike. Perfect for tail gaiting at the next Patriots game or a fun game of pond hockey! No matter what the activity, Swany should be your go-to brand . They are light-weight and fit just right allowing my fingers to still be fully functioning when getting my snow boots on and off without letting the bitter cold in.

These have an incredible feel: they are so soft, so warm and not overbearing like inferior bulky models that have poor design.  Swany continues to impress me and they are a brand that deserves more of your attention.  The fit is as tight as you want it to be, and it is like having a second layer on your hands.  You can perform tasks easily with these gloves and you don't have to take them off to do things.  I like the elastic at the wrists as it prevents drafts and the design at the cuff nicely fits into all styles of jackets.  These are properly engineered!  I like the Swany logo on them and these gloves also boast a lot of stylistic versatility.

The dog days of summer are still all-too-fresh in my memory, but change is in the air, and pretty soon we'll be longing for the days of tank tops and sundresses. Although I have a soft spot in my heart for winter and I do enjoy a good snowstorm, my hands tend to get chapped at the first sign of a frost and I'm always on the lookout for good gloves Luckily, Swany's Eco-Fleece black gloves are up to the task of keeping my hands protected this winter. Made from recycled and recyclable double dense fleece, the gloves are definitely super-warm, but not too bulky, which is great for Manhattnites who like to keep everything looking sleek and streamlined. They have elastic at the wrist, and about an inch of material extending beyond the wrist for extra protection from the elements! AND, they hook together - perfect for someone like me who always manages to drop a glove on the subway and end up with a lonely, partnerless glove. One of the most unique things about these gloves is that they arrived in the mail along with an empty envelope addressed to Swany - so when they've gotten worn out, I can send them back to be recycled and turned into new gloves (hence the "Eco-Fleece") label! So, bring it on, Winter - this year I'm ready for you!

Swany makes a comfortable stylish glove which is the reason why I already own a couple of pair of’Swany gloves.  The eco-friendly glove is made from recycled and recyclable double dense fleece which keeps your digits nice and toasty during the cold months. The Gloves come with a self addressed stamped envelope so when you wear out the glove you send it back to the company and they make another pair of gloves from your used gloves. The gloves are recycled by a process that uses 75% less energy and 80% less CO2 than it would take to make the same pair of gloves from its original polymer. Swany also offers a 10% discount every time you send in a pair of gloves to be recycled. Swany is a company that is fashion forward while keeping function and the environment a priority in the development of their gloves.

Whom You Know highly recommends the Swany Eco-Circle Performance Gloves!!!
