Why We Pack Flip Top Mittens for Christmas Lights and Outdoor Markets
At a light show or a holiday market, you stand still in the cold for a long time. You also reach for your phone again and again, for a photo, the map or your ticket.
Mittens keep you warmer. REI says mittens are warmer than gloves made with the same materials, because your fingers share warmth.
A flip top mitten gives you both. Fold the top back, and your bare fingertips work any phone screen, open your wallet or hold a warm cup. Fold it over again, and your fingers are back in the warm. REI calls these convertible mittens.
If your ticket lives on your phone, bring a power bank as well. Our power bank page has the one we would pack.
The One We Would Pack: Isotoner Women's Microsuede Flip Top Mitten
See the Isotoner Flip Top Mitten on Amazon
On Amazon it is the smartDRI Microsuede Flip Top Mitten. Pick a color that ends in Mitten, because the same listing also sells gloves.
- A magnet holds the top open, Isotoner says, so it stays out of your way while you use the phone.
- Soft sherpa lining, and a patch on the palm for a better grip.
- Rain and snow roll off. Isotoner says its smartDri finish repels water.
- 2 sizes, made for women: Small/Medium and Large/XL.
- Not for: the washing machine. The Amazon listing says to hand wash it in cool water and air dry.
The Budget Pick: C.C Faux Fur Convertible Mittens
Amazon lists them as the C.C Women's Faux Fur Wrist Length Fingerless Sherpa Lined Convertible Mittens Gloves.
- Sherpa lining and a faux fur top, with a ribbed cuff that keeps out drafts, C.C says.
- The top folds back over open fingertips, like our top pick.
- Many colors, from ivory and camel to leopard print.
- Not for: larger hands, rain or the washing machine. They come in one size, and some buyers say they run small. The listing says hand wash only and does not say they repel water.
If You Would Rather Wear Gloves: Isotoner Touchscreen Gloves
See the Isotoner touchscreen gloves on Amazon
Amazon lists them as the isotoner womens Spandex Touchscreen Cold Weather Gloves With Warm Fleece Lining and Chevron Details.

How We Chose
We compared 11 flip top mittens and touchscreen gloves from 7 brands, on Amazon and on the makers' own sites, in September 2026. We kept the ones made or sized for women, with a warm lining, that were in stock. Then we chose one mitten to pack, one mitten at a lower price and one glove.
We have not run a lab test. We compared what matters on a cold evening out: warmth, how easily your fingers come out for the phone, the fit and the care. No brand paid to be on this page.
