There’s not an awful lot to say about the Smartwool Cozy Flip Mitt. What there is to say, is that it’s a really cool and cooky accessory (with an awesome name).
The Smartwool Cozy Flip is a convertible glove; i.e. fingerless in style, with a flip-down finger cover that turns it into a mitten, which is in itself nothing revolutionary. However, it has been executed with typical Smartwool comfort, in a luxuriously soft, ‘cushion’ knit, and comes packed with plush detailing such as an engraved metal logo, stylish retro-look button (for pinning back the finger cover), and knit-in touchscreen compatibility on the thumb.

The point I’m trying to get across is that the Cozy Flip Mitt not only has the textural and technical advantages of a Smartwool Merino product, such as excellent warmth, moisture management and odour control; but also that it looks cool, and has a certain vintage appeal that should transcend the divide between ‘outdoorsy’ and ‘high street’. When I tried it on I certainly loved the way it looked, fitted and felt.
