Winter brings the joy of Christmas, but it also brings cold weather that make it difficult to use your phone outdoors without freezing your fingers. And if you put on gloves, you won’t be able to operate your smartphone’s capacitive touchscreen (unless you’re lucky enough to have a Nokia Lumia running Windows Phone 8).
Of course, we wouldn’t bringing up this problem if we didn’t have an answer prepared – and in this case, our ideal solution are The North Face E-Tip Gloves. These gloves have all the right cold weather credentials to keep your fingers warm in all kinds of tumultuous conditions, but they also have some clever E-Tip technology that allow you to use touch screens on your phone or tablet as easily as with your bare hands.
Even setting aside the touch screen compatibility feature for a minute, these are some fantastic cold weather gloves. They’re made from wind-resistant fleece that’ll keep your hands nice and toasty, with grips on the palms and fingers to let you keep hold of your phone. The X-Static fabric used also includes a layer of all natural pure silver permanently bonded to it, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and helps keep moisture and temperature at comfortable levels. Your hands will be warmer in the winter, but also cooler in the summer.
These genuine The North Face gloves are top notch, both for using your smartphone and just for normal use in cold weather. That makes them ideal iPad Mini accessories or iPhone 5 accessories, or indeed ideal presents for any smartphone or tablet owner that would like to use their gadgets outdoors.
