Warm, waterproof mittens designed for easy fitting and everyday outdoor use.
Outdoor Flipper Mittens are a practical solution for those who find standard gloves or mittens difficult to wear. The thumbless design and slightly wider fit make them easy to slip on, while the full opening on the back of the hand allows for simple, stress-free fitting.
Featuring a waterproof and breathable outer layer with a soft fleece lining, these mittens help keep hands warm and dry in cold, wet weather. The full Velcro opening and stay-put Velcro strap ensure the mittens remain securely in place once fitted, reducing the need for readjustment.
Ideal for wheelchair users and individuals with reduced dexterity, Outdoor Flipper Mittens offer reliable hand protection for everyday outdoor activities, school runs and days out.
These Outdoor Flipper Mittens provide a simple, effective way to keep hands warm and protected without the difficulty of traditional glove designs.

What a brilliant idea. My husband has Alzheimer's, so doesn't realise his hands are very cold. His fingers are stiff and with poor circulation he gets chilblains. These mitts slide onto his hand and all I have to do is tighten the elastic round his wrists. It means his hands are warm so no chilblains. He can even manage to use his stick with them on. 10 out of 10, gold star etc
Hello Ann,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your wonderful five star feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that the Outdoor Flipper Mittens are helping keep your husband’s hands warm and protecting him from chilblains.
It’s especially lovely to hear that he can still use his stick comfortably, that’s exactly the kind of practical support we hope our products can provide. Your kind words and “gold star” rating mean a lot to us we will share this with the manufacturer.
Thank you for shopping wiht us at Fledglings.
Best wishes,
Sophie
easy and quick to get on, but I found the wrist fastening was much too loose. I sewed some extra Velcro on which made the closure at the wrist fit my daughters wrist properly
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad to hear that the suit was easy and quick to get on.
We appreciate your comments about the wrist fastening. It’s really helpful to hear how you adapted it with extra Velcro to make it fit your daughter comfortably. Your feedback will be passed on to our manufacturers as we continuously look for ways to improve our designs.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!
Kind Regards
Sophie
I was very disappointed in these mittens my girls hand were so cold in them that I now put hottie socks on her hands to keep them warm
Sorry to hear the Outdoor Flipper Mittens didn’t keep your daughter’s hands warm enough. That’s not what we’d expect, so we really appreciate your feedback. If you'd like, get in touch and we can help you find a better option. Sarah – Fledglings
