FLIPMITS
Description
Raynaud’s sufferers can easily get the chills when grabbing a metal weight in the gym, or holding tight to a cold bike handle or starting a run on a chilly, windy day. Matt Angorn, Founder of FLIPMITS invented a versatile multi-function glove that offers a warm solution!
FLIPMITS are a combination glove, sweatband, and mitten. While those with Raynaud’s may not feel frequent needs for sweatbands, the glove/mitt combo offers a creative way to protect frozen fingers from cold gym equipment or from Mother Nature during outdoor workouts.
I was skeptical at first, wondering how these mitts could work better than standard fingerless gloves in the gym. As we’ve stated on other fingerless glove product reviews, even with the fingers partially open, by covering the wrist they do work to open the arteries and help keep the full hand warmer. The issue with fingerless gloves is that they don’t quite provide full protection in the gym or during outdoor sport activities, as they just cover the palms. So I tried FLIPMITS on one of my trainer workouts. The stretchy fabric is soft and comfortable, like a second skin, so you’ll immediately feel the added warmth of an extra layer on the palms and wrists. And they do offer a superior grip on gym equipment (bars, ropes, etc.) compared to standard fingerless gloves.
But the big challenge was whether or not FLIPMITS would keep my hands warmer holding large metal weights, a major issue for me in the gym on frigid days. So here’s where FLIPMITS go one step further than fingerless gloves: There’s a “hoodie” built into the mitts: It’s an extra layer of fabric that folds over itself on top of the hand. When you want more coverage, “flip” it over to cover the fingertips like top of a mitten. It works great for top finger coverage, but there can still be a slight skin gap inside part of the palm. The manufacturer says they aren’t meant to provide full coverage, but I’m finding it may be possible. On some occasions, I was able to position the hoodie “just right” for full coverage over the metal weight. Even with the gap, it’s a warmer solution than having open fingers fully wrapped around the metal bar. And as I continue using the product, I’m getting better at finding the full coverage sweet spot!
For times when you do get a bit sweaty during an outdoor or treadmill jog, slide the full FLIPMIT back above your hand to use it as an absorbent sweatband. The organic fabric is made of anti-bacterial, renewable bamboo which is 50% more absorbent than standard sweatbands while being good for the environment. Never heard of Bamboo fabric? We were surprised to learn it’s the number one choice for re-usable baby diapers because of its softness and hypoallergenic properties.
This “slide” feature is another benefit of the design – you can easily slide the glove off your fingers into a “holding position” on your wrist. For those who are constantly adding/removing gloves in the gym, kitchen or office, it’s a convenient way to keep them handy and easy-to-find when they might get lost or misplaced.
Factor in the double line stitching and you have a quality product that’s machine washable and highly versatile. While they are great for workouts and sports activities, FLIPMITS also function quite well as fingerless gloves – I’m wearing them now while typing this review!
