How it Rates:

• Usefulness: 10/10. We hate having to take our gloves off to use a touchscreen in the winter, or to not be able to do anything with our fingers while using mittens. The multi-mitts solve these problems!
• Portability: 10/10. The Multi-Mitts are the size of normal gloves/mittens.
• Value: 8/10. $22 is not too expensive for mittens of this high quality.
• Durability: 10/10. The Multi-Mitts have held up through multiple spins in the washing machine and heavy cold-weather use.
• Cool Factor: 9/10. Freezing onlookers will be jealous when they see your cool mittens transform into fingerless gloves.

Final Verdict: If you’re always taking off one glove or mitten in order to use a touchscreen phone or iPod, they Multi-Mitts are definitely worth it for cold-weather trips!
