Easy-to-wear outdoor mittens designed to keep hands warm, dry and secure.
Side Opening Outdoor Mittens are a practical solution for adults and children who find traditional mittens or gloves difficult to put on. Designed with side Hook and Loop openings, these mittens allow hands to slide in easily, reducing frustration and effort during dressing.
The water-resistant, breathable outer layer helps protect hands from light rain and damp conditions, while the soft fleece lining provides warmth and comfort. Once fitted, the stay-put elastic wrist strap secures the mittens in place using a small Hook and Loop tab, helping prevent them from slipping off during use.
Ideal for wheelchair users and individuals with reduced dexterity or disabilities, these mittens are well suited to everyday outings, school runs and outdoor activities in cooler, changeable weather.
These side opening outdoor mittens offer warmth, comfort and ease of use, making them a reliable choice for everyday independence.
Please refer to the size guide image on how to measure the hand. Note the measurement is not the length of the mitten.
| Glove Size | Approx. Hand Span (S) | Approx. Hand Length (L) |
|---|---|---|
| X-Small (Small Child) | 9 cm | 13 cm |
| Small (Child) | 11 cm | 16 cm |
| Medium (Small Adult) | 13 cm | 19 cm |
| Large (Adult) | 14 cm | 23 cm |
The gloves were 50% bigger than the middle opening ones but were supposed to be to be the same size.
Hello Norma,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand how disappointing it can be when two different styles of glove items with the same size label appear different. As we had previously mentioned in emails to you.
Although both styles are designed to fit the same hand size, they are made from different hand-sewn patterns, which can lead to slight differences in length and width. The side-opening mitts are a little longer in the arm, while the flipper mitts are slightly wider across the hand but shorter in length. While these differences are within normal manufacturing tolerances, we appreciate that noticing them side by side can be frustrating.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and we had offered to make it right by offering a £5 credit as a goodwill gesture if you sent back the gloves that could be used on any future order, with no expiry date.
As our supplier has suggested, it’s often best to stick to the same style of glove that fits your daughter’s hand rather than comparing different styles, as all patterns can have slightly different appearances in size.
Thank you again for your honest review. Your feedback helps us improve our product information and ensure future customers know exactly what to expect.
Kind Regards
Sophie
This is the only pair of mittens that fit over my resting hand splints. The Velcro can’t do up but the elastic holds them in place well. An absolute godsend in the winter!
Thank you for your feedback! We're so pleased to hear the mittens work well with your resting hand splints and are helping keep you warm. We really appreciate you sharing your experience! Sarah - Fledglings
