What shoppers are saying
Backed by more than 5,000 customer reviews, these soft texting gloves are a hit among shoppers looking to protect their hands from the cold.
“These gloves are good - they're thicker than the usual ones that are this same style (think cheap Walmart ones) so they're quite warm,” shared one reviewer. “I love the grips on the palm, it's great for your phone but also great for keeping a hold of the dogs' leash and using in the car for gripping the steering wheel.”
“It’s winter time and I didn’t have any good gloves that weren’t bulky and could work with my phone, especially allow me to hold it while I’m using it. These are honestly great gloves,” added another. “They aren’t even expensive and the touch sensitivity is amazing!”
If you’re planning on using these gloves on the coldest winter days, you may want to pair them with a thicker set of gloves or mittens to wear on top. Many reviewers shared that these gloves are not thick enough to hold up to the harshest Canadian weather conditions, particularly since they are made from a knit material and aren’t waterproof.
“Good for driving, not so good for outside,” noted one reviewer. “I was clearing snow off the car at around -2C and my middle and ring fingers on both hands started to ache from the cold after 5 minutes. These are knit so any moisture on them will make the cold go right to your skin.”
Are they worth it?
Depending on how you’re planning to use these gloves, they’re certainly an affordable option that makes a great addition to your collection of winter accessories. As noted by many reviewers, they’re best when worn on chilly days that don’t involve too much contact with rain or snow.
Ideal for driving, walking the dog, or commuting, you can’t go wrong with these $16 touchscreen gloves.
