Review: Glider Gloves touchscreen gloves

We've seen all types of gloves that allow you to use touchscreens. From thick wool gloves with particles to skinny gloves with conductive strips. Some are cumbersome and others lack accuracy. Glider Gloves hopes to offer users the best of both world's with their unique approach.

Whether we like it or not, we interact with our smartphones and tablets more than ever before. Now that the colder weather requires we keep our fingers warm, it becomes a big hassle to have to remove our gloves to answer a phone call or look up information. Products like Glider Gloves (Starting at $24.99) enable users to manipulate their touchscreens without taking off their gloves.   

I've been using the Glider gloves most of Fall Season and found them to be perfect for stashing in my coat pocket for when it gets a bit too cold. Using the gloves on various mobile devices presented no problem as they managed to control touch screens quite well. The Glider gloves also proved to be quite quite warm and very comfortable.

For colder weather, the thicker Winter Style variant of the Glider Gloves might be a better idea as I found that the tips of my fingers still felt cold despite wearing the gloves, so your mileage will vary.

Glider Gloves are some of the best types of these touchscreen capable products we've used and they are a vast improvement over other gloves that felt a little rought and didn't handle as nicely. They are worth considering for anyone who has to be out in the cold and absolutely needs to interact with their mobile devices.

Exclusive to the UK (although this would really be popular in South East Asia, Africa and Europe, where dual-SIM phones are a necessity), no word of if and when it will be coming to North America. You do lose LTE connectivity for this model but nobody said you could have it all,
