The Koozie Grew Up. We Took It Further.
One woman.
One wild idea.
If you’ve ever built something from scratch, you get it. If you haven’t — welcome. I’ll show you how it started.
Giddyup Gear, LLC exists to spark joy and connection.
Cold hands. Campfires.
One mitten that changed everything.
About the founder
I grew up in Minnesota, where winter isn’t just a season—it’s a personality trait. I loved bonfires, tailgates, and snowy nights with friends, but cold hands had a way of cutting the fun short. Holding a drink in bulky gloves meant spills, numb fingers, and checking out of the moment when I wanted to be all in.
One night, someone said, “Why not take it up the wrist?” That little comment lit the spark. I didn’t set out to reinvent gloves—but I knew there had to be a better way to keep people warm, connected, and present.
So I started sewing. Stitch by stitch, idea by idea, the Giddyup Glove™ was born—a mitten that keeps your hand cozy and holds your drink steady. It was practical, a little cheeky, and unlike anything else out there.
Today, Giddyup Gear is about more than just gloves. It’s about sparking joy, confidence, and connection in the everyday moments we don’t want to miss. Whether you’re around a fire, at the game, or on an RV adventure, I want you to feel comfortable, playful, and fully in the moment.
This is my story—but really, it’s about you. Because comfort is the gateway, and connection is the point.
WHY I DO IT
Giddyup Gear exists to spark joy, confidence, and connection by creating gear, apparel, and content that blend comfort, creativity, playfulness, and purpose—offering signature designs that get people talking, from drink-holding mittens to spirited apparel and meaningful guides.

I bought a Giddyup Glive for my dad when visiting from BC, Canada, he absolutely loved it and will be his go to coozy for years to come! Thank you so much!

I didn't want to leave a review because I've hardly had these for a day but I couldn't help it. I decided to give it a test run while leaf blowing. Spectacular. I found myself looking for reasons to stay outside. The ordinarily tedious chore became a casual, home care task. My backyard has never looked better. The giddyup glove is definitely a net profit.
While I'm here, you know what would be cool (and understandably more expensive but worth a thought just hear me out)? Water proof shells. Fishing, hiking, general outdoors-ing. Starts to rain at your kid's soccer game? Covered. Chair lift beers? Never better.
Buy two.

I bought these for a couple of the hunters in our family and they shared them around the campfire. Well, it’s a whole “thing” now! Every time they’re together, they hide them from each other, wrestle in the dirt over them and of course the guy who got the buck gets his all night! A very fun and cool gift. We love ours!

I love my giddy up glove. I can now hold the coldest beer or the hottestcup of coffee in total comfort. And it's so fun. It fits all sizes of beverages and I can wear it on my left or right hand and it stays on perfectly. All the different patterns and colors are so fun and the fabric is so soft. It has made going to outdoor events so much better. Great gift for the tail gator or camper.

As a beer loving girl whose hands are the first to get cold, this was a must purchase. The moment my friends saw me using my Giddyup they needed to know where to get one themselves (true story). It’s so cozy and I take it everywhere with me! One of my favorite purchases this year.

I absolutely love my Giddyup Glove! It’s such a fun and unique product, and a total game-changer for enjoying a cold drink outside in chilly weather. Not only does it keep my hand warm, but it also sparks conversations everywhere I go. I Highly recommend for anyone who loves outdoor adventures, tailgating, or just sipping a beverage in style!

This mitten is amazing. It has been something I didn't even know I needed! I have been talking about it non-stop! I have been using it more than expected and came in super handy (pun intented) at my nephew's foodball game.

Let me start off by saying…if you needed a sign to buy these magical gloves, HERE IT IS. Not only are these as soft as a freshly groomed poodles booty, they are warm, functional, AND keep your beer cold. What more do you want?! The answer is NOTHING. Now go add to cart!

Living in Minnesota, the Giddyup Glove has saved the day several times in being able to keep my hand cozy and coffee cup temp warm! It has also been great at keeping my hand from freezing while holding an ice cold drink outside in the summer!

We love our Giddyup Gloves! They are the best to have around the campfire and we are looking forward to using them while we watch our kids play soccer this fall. The website was very user friendly, my order was available next day, and Sherrise is so kind, professional, and talented in her designs. We are definitely sharing these with our friends and family!

We both love our Giddyup Gloves We don't wait for cold weather to use them, they work great for holding a glass with a cold rum and coke all year long. The new fabric patterns are beautiful. I like choosing my Giddyup Glove according to my mood for the day. Just owning one glove is not enough.

Top Five Frequently asked questions
Does it fit hot and cold drinks?
Yes. Works with most cups, cans, and bottles.
Can I use it for coffee?
Absolutely. Protects your hand from heat while keeping drinks warm longer.
Left or right hand?
Either! The Giddyup Glove™ is designed to work on either hand, so you can sip comfortably no matter your grip.
Where are your products manufactured?
Every Giddyup Glove™ is designed and sewn in Bend, Oregon in a tiny little studio. We currently make our gloves in small batches locally—so you’re getting a product crafted with care, not churned out on an assembly line. As we grow, we’ll continue to scale production thoughtfully while keeping design oversight here at home.
Can I throw it in the washing machine?
While the lining technically says “dry clean only,” we’ve tossed ours in the wash plenty of times and they’ve come out just fine. Gentle cycle, cold water, air dry—and your glove will stay in top shape.
