Our Story
When I embarked on my first World's Toughest Mudder in 2012, I immediately recognized that my greatest challenge would be battling the cold. While I was confident in my ability to endure 24 hours and tackle obstacles, the frigid temperatures posed a significant concern.
Living with Raynaud's Phenomenon, a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the fingers and toes in response to cold, I knew that conventional gloves wouldn't suffice. My hands needed to generate heat to warm my fingers, making gloves impractical. Moreover, thick neoprene gloves, while warm, would hinder my ability to grip obstacles and would be difficult to put back on once removed.
Thus, the idea for the BleggMit was born. I set out to create a solution that would provide warmth while allowing for maximum dexterity. The result? A revolutionary product that keeps hands warm and agile, even when wet, ensuring that obstacle racers like myself can tackle challenges with confidence and comfort.

BleggMitts are crafted from high-quality Neoprene, designed to keep your hands warm whether they're wet or dry. Their snug fit ensures maximum comfort while allowing your fingers to warm up naturally from the heat of your hands.
Featuring an innovative overlapped split of fabric down the front, BleggMitts enable you to effortlessly pull your hand out allowing your fingers to be free and then retract it back inside the mitt to reheat while on the move.
Tested and proven in extreme conditions, BleggMitts have accompanied me through five World's Toughest Mudders, even performing remarkably well in temperatures below freezing.
For added warmth in particularly chilly races, I've utilised hand warmers within the mitts during an eight-hour snow obstacle race, amplifying their effectiveness.
With many obstacle races beginning at dawn in cold temperatures, I often start races wearing BleggMitts to ensure my hands stay warm. If they become too warm during the race, I can easily pull my hands out.
Beyond obstacle races, I rely on these versatile mitts for early morning winter runs. Their reliability in storms, rain, and wind make them an essential companion for outdoor activities.
Having kept the secret of these fantastic mitts to myself for too long, I'm thrilled to share them with you. Thank you for choosing BleggMit - your trusted partner for warmth and comfort in any adventure.
