I have chronically cold hands. I use heated keyboards for work, i use hot hands all winter. These mittens are a great addition. I can even stick a hot pack in the folded area, on top or under the hands. Perfect for running in fall and spring too!
Well so far these have been my go to for my hands while running. There so versatile. Start off with a mitt/glove, down to half mitt, then roll up and put on your wrist as a sweat band.
Hopefully they come out with more colors/designs, but overall I’ve been super happy with them!
I suffer with the pain from Raynaud's. Wearing gloves causes the pain to be much worse and I struggle to get my hand out of the fingers and into a ball to gain warmth from the palm. Therefore, I think the design of the hood over the fist makes sense. I wore them for the first time today (weather wasn’t very cold) and got the impression they will be very useful to me. I love that I can have them readily available on my wrist for when I need them.
Got these for my son in law to wear while he rides his One Wheel or rides his bike, walk the dog. He wanted something that was bulky but kept his hands warm and allowed him to use his fingers when he needed. We plan to get the warmer ones and some more colors !!
I am really pleased with my Flipmits! I had to get used to the fact that when you flip the pocket over your hands, your hands are in a ball (can’t extend them full length). This is okay, though, because then my fingers stay huddled together to keep warm. I love that the cuffs don’t interfere with my Apple Watch. They are incredibly easy and practical to use, especially when we’re transitioning from late winter into spring months here in Minnesota. I roll them down onto my wrists if my hands get too hot. I’m looking foward to using them on a trip to the Grand Canyon. I also love that they are not bulky and can easily be stored in a jacket pocket without making me look like a marshmallow.
Love 'em. Great for running when you want something warm to start out then peel back as your hands get warm. Also love them while walk the dog.
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!
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
