While the DOTS gloves looked to be the ultimate texting gloves, there’s now a new pair of mittens in town. The Freehands Glove features removable thumb and index fingertips, perfect for wintertime activities. No twirling your meat with these babies but texting should work out A-OK .
Fleece goes for $20 with some other fabric going for $30 and leather costing $40. The fleece ones seem like a good buy.
Come winter, I will not wear a standard set of gloves. I am a texting machine and I need my fingers ready to pound on that “S” key all day long. So I wear cut off gloves. It sucks but it will have to do. Women? They’re lucky. They can wear DOTS gloves. At $13 to $18 a pair, they’re not only affordable and warm; they’ll also let you text with ease.
Thanks to miniature touch-sensitive buttons on the fingertips, you’ll be able to actually use your iPhone without getting frostbite. Bodacious!
We take our drinking games real seriously. Whether it be public inebriation or an intense match of Flip Cup, you’ll need gloves to make sure your hands are not only protected but also comfortable for reduced muscle strain. That’s just what the manufacturer of these gloves promise: a glove that will aid performance in a game of flip cup.
When the night is late and you’re staggering home, vomiting after every five steps you take, you’ll be happy you bought these gloves when you fall to your hands and knees in crapulence. At least your friends will have been amazed at the flawless performance of Flip Cup you played earlier that night.
If you’re a smoker, you know that smoking outside in the winter is a very unpleasant experience. If you smoke gloveless, your hands feel like they are freezing over. If you smoke with gloves, your hands are warm, but holding the cigarette becomes an obstacle. These Smoking Mittens make polluting your lungs an easier experience.
Where I live, smoking is banned indoors unless you’re in a privately owned home. Which means lots of outside exposure to the elements. The Smoking Mittens add a small hole on one of the gloves that allows you to hold your cigarette easily without having to risk limb hypothermia. — Andrew Dobrow
