Mittens and gloves each have their pluses and minuses—it's hard to pick things up, dial your cell phone, or dig your keys out of your bag while wearing mittens, but gloves just don't keep your fingers as warm. And whichever style you choose, most pairs have the same major drawback: when you stretch your arms out—while, for example, brushing four inches of snow off your windshield mid-blizzard—the gap between the edges and the cuffs of your coat leaves you with one cold, snowy wrist. Luckily, Threadbanger is here with a solution they call ninja mittens: cut a long-sleeved shirt apart at the shoulder, add a hole for your thumb and some decorative stripes, and voila: you have an arm version of a legwarmer that will keep you warm and toasty from elbow to wrist. Since these keep your fingers exposed, you'll still want to wear gloves or mittens during that blizzard—but we think that skipping that snow-down-your-sleeve moment is totally worth it.
