FLIPMITS solve the most common problem with cold-weather hand gear: the trade-off between grip and warmth. Traditional mittens keep your hands warm but eliminate dexterity. Fingerless gloves maintain grip but sacrifice insulation below freezing. FLIPMITS eliminate the choice.
The Flip Mechanism
Every pair of FLIPMITS is built around a mitten flap attached to the back of the glove. In fingerless mode, the flap folds back over a securing attachment — leaving all four fingers exposed for full dexterity. When warmth is needed, the flap flips forward and closes over the fingers, converting the glove to a full mitten in one motion without removing the glove.
Who Uses FLIPMITS?
Runners: The fingerless-to-mitten conversion is ideal for temperature-variable runs — open at the start, closed when it gets cold mid-run, without stopping.
Cyclists: Grip on the bars requires fingerless mode, but descents or rest stops benefit from the full mitten. FLIPMITS handles both.
Hikers: Trail work requires dexterity for gear handling; rest stops or summits call for warmth. FLIPMITS transitions in seconds.
Everyday use: Phone use, parking meters, door handles — all require uncovered fingers. FLIPMITS stays on the hand and flips open when needed.
The Weight Lines
FLIPMITS comes in three weight constructions to match the conditions:
- Original / All-Season: The standard construction — appropriate for sub-freezing to cool temperatures
- Hyper-Lite (HL): Ultralight build for warmer cold weather, running, or high-output activities where bulk is a problem
- Heavy Weight (HW): Maximum insulation for deep cold, extended exposure, or low-output activities
