They work.They do what they are supposed to do. I was disappointed to discover that to have your hand covered means you have to have your hand closed. I wanted to be able to use these for walking my dogs so I could uncover my fingers to handle poop bags and still be able to hold a leash with my fingers covered. Also, I like to run with open hands as well so this is pretty disappointing as well. I just didn't realize that you had to keep your hand closed. That's silly. They should definitely change this aspect of the design.
This is my third pair of Flipmits. This was a cosmetic purchase. I find them perfect for keeping hands warm in the desert winter and as a great workout assistant. If you live im very cold climates use the heavy duty.
These are comfortable and I love the design. They are great for people like me who don't like their fingers covered but sometimes need it anyway. Don't expect mittens; your fingers will be curled like in the advertising photos if you have them covered. As long as you're cool with that--it's a more functional alternative than shoving hands in pockets--then these are perfect. They also don't take much dexterity to flip in either direction, which is nice, especially in the cold.
If they do ever figure out making the material longer without making the whole product unwieldy, I'd love a pair that does allow for relaxed, extended fingers when in mitten mode. However, until then, these are exactly as advertised and I love them.
Once the temps got to 30 degrees in the morning these work great for dog walking at 6:30am Fingers stay just warm enough and give enough flexibility for controlling all the leashes
These are so awesome! The color is great, they're super soft, really breathable, and work so well. Great for all my runs, I'd highly recommend!
Fits very comfortably. Gonna come in real handy when another deep freeze hits.
Ordered a couple pairs of FLIPMITS for my girlfriend and me. Definitely dig the concept, but... Not sure they fit correctly -- even though I measured our hands according to the size chart. We run -- a lot, and the design for the wrist sleeve doesn't comfortably accommodate our watches.
Hi Craig, Appreciate the review. I think this video will be really helpful to get the most out of your Flipmits.

I got a medium but they feel a little big and loose. I roll the wrist part over in half, this secures it in place a little better and leaves room for my watch. If I was exercising or doing physical labor I would need to fold the finger part down into my palm as well. I have very standard women’s hands. Not small by any measure. With this modification I’m pretty happy! These are great for my e-bike.
Cheaper material than I expected. If this is the only thing they make.. I thought it would be done well. I have small hands and got medium. When it is wrapped over my hands, it is way too snug ( or is it just poor elasticity in the material) — it pulls down the whole wrist band with it. I bought one for myself and one as a gift for a running friend but I’m too embarrassed to give it to her.

These are perfect for temps around 32 degrees. I've used them at 30 degrees, and as long as I pull the flap over but tuck all of my fingers completely inside (not sticking the thumb out of the thum hole) things are pretty comfortable.
Have both a regular and heavy duty Flipmits. I used to just pull my sleeves down over my hands so I didn't have to carry my gloves once my hands got warmed up. Flipmits work the same way, with so many options for how much coverage you want or don't want as your hands heat up during activities. I got a pair as a gift for Christmas and then bought a second pair for the colder weather.
these are just what I need to keep my hands warm and still be able to use them. easy wash when I get them dirty!
The gloves are amazing and customer service is second to none. I had a little scratch on the gloves and sent a quick message and they responded by sending me another pair no questions asked. Thank you flipmits!
I liked my first pair so much I bought another. My second pair that I received ended up being 2 left handed gloves but after sending an email to support they promptly send me a new pair to correct the mistake with no charge to me. Awesome company
These things are great. Wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to try them. Love em!
I bought these on a whim and really wanted to love them. I watched the hoodie video and decided to give it a try. First time using them while walking on an early morning errand I found them less than ideal in both the fingerless mode and the hoodie mode. My hands were either cold or pretty much non functional. With the hoodie engaged my hands were in the relaxed, cupped position but was still cold.
Nothing wrong with the mitts and the quality seemed good. I am going to try and find a use case that works but I am thinking these may not be for me.
These work great for runners! My husband and my son love them!
As a photographer, finding gloves that both help to keep my hands warm and allow my fingers to do the things I need (shutter button, SD card/battery swap, etc) has been so difficult! These have been wonderful for my experience and they look badass to boot.
I bought 2 pairs of these and I have been really enjoying them. I’ve been wearing them to work and just around the house. It was also super cold in my area recently so I’ve been using them as gloves. When you flip the thing over they’re pretty warm. Overall, pretty cool.
