The North Face ‘E-Tip’ Gloves

It’s winter, it’s snowing, and you have gloves on. You’re pawing at the capacitive touchscreens with all your might, but alas you’re unable to interact with the screen in front of you. You dare not take off your gloves for fear of losing your hands to the cold, and using your nose in place of your fingers is not working out so well. The solution? North Face E-Tip Gloves.

Designed with X-Static material at the thumbs and index fingers, they allow you to control your touchscreen devices again without taking off your gloves. They also seem to have some grip dots on them so that your phone or mp3 player doesn’t slip out of your hand, preventing it from plummet to its doom.

If they’re anything like the North Face non-E-Tip gloves I have, then they do a decent job at keeping your hands warm. You sacrifice some warmth at the expense of being able to move your fingers more freely.
