GliderGloves: Winter Wear that Keeps You Texting

Oh the weather outside is frightful… well, for some of us. With the temperatures dipping into the uncomfortably cold as we enter winter, we must adapt and find ways to keep tapping on our mobile devices even while outside. The near universal adoption now of touchscreen devices has given birth to the invention of touchscreen gloves.

    Thank goodness. Every pair I see in the store only conducts on just a few of the finger tips, and for some reason they make those tips a completely different color. They look terrible with those different colored tips!

    Interesting concept - there aren't a lot of scenarios where I so desperately need my phone while out in the elements so they're not necessarily a good buy for me but I know plenty of people that do need to have a pair of these or something like them

    Lucky my Galaxy Note II already have a stylus I can use without using special gloves.

    I have some relatively thin gloves and they work perfectly fine with my phone as long as I increase the touch sensitivity which really isn't that much of a hassle so I will just stick with what I have.
