As much as you might not want to think about it, winter time is here. Whether you’re heading outside on a frigidly cold day or traveling to somewhere intensely cold, it’s important to bundle up and stay warm. 
So, how can you keep your hands and fingers warm but still be able to access all the features on your smartphone?
ISOTONER smarTouch Gloves are an answer to this common wintertime dilemma. Not only can you use these gloves with your smartphone, but you can also use ATM’s, GPS devices, gas pumps, mp3 players, etc. Made out of materials like nylon, polyester, polyurethane, and lycra spandex, these gloves have a soft, stretchy feel to them. The inside of the gloves has a fleecy texture, providing ultimate coziness when placed on my hands. The palm of each glove has a non-slip grip. Plus, the gloves elastically extend to cover the wrists. Gloves are also water repellent.
So, how is it possible to use touchscreen devices while wearing these gloves? Both the thumb and index finger have conductive thread embroidered into them. This thread conveys an electrical impulse to the device being used. 
What I like about the gloves is that I can use both the tip or the flat edge of my finger to do things on my phone or iPad. I use the tip of my finger more, so the fact that the threads extend over the tip of my finger is a major factor when considering purchasing these gloves. 
The gloves really do work too….you can really do things, even the most tedious of tasks; I have gone down through email hitting small squares on each email to delete, and it was super easy to do, but my hands also stayed warm. The conductive threads are in both the left and right hand, so anyone can use these gloves successfully. 
I would recommend, if you’re considering purchasing these gloves measuring your hands and then buying a larger size than you normally would. The gloves are comfortable, but they’re also quite snug. The only feature that isn’t as comfortable, at least for me, is the embroidered thread on the thumb and index finger. For some reason, it’s just a bit uncomfortable for my fingers….it’s very stiff, and, of course, you can feel the embroidery. It seems to irritate those two fingers. Otherwise, these gloves are a genius piece of smarTouch intelligence.
You can purchase ISOTONER smarTouch Gloves at retailers like Amazon.com, Dillard’s, Kmart, Target, Kohl’s, Walmart, and more. You can also purchase the gloves on Isotoner.com; prices range from $21.00 to $37.80; various designs and colors are available. Just a hint: these gloves would be an awesome stocking stuffer….
