5 of the best touch screen-compatible gloves
1. Moshi Digits ($30)
No touch-screen gloves are going to work perfectly, but it's relatively easy to text in Moshi's knit mitts. They're warmer than most, too, thanks to their "soft, cozy" microfleece lining. Grippy dots on the palms prevent phones from slipping. Buy it at Moshi.
2. Glider Gloves ($15)
These aren't the warmest gloves, but they're a great option for drivers, because they are form-fitting, grippy, and woven with copper yarn, which means that you can tap your car's touch screen with any part of the glove — not just a fingertip. Buy it at Amazon.
3. Columbia Ascender ($23)
Skiers who text from the top of the slope should consider Columbia's softshell sporting gloves, whose digits "taper to a dexterous tip," writes Jacob Gallagher at The Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately, they're only available in men's sizes, and the water-repellent shell slows typing. Buy it at Columbia.
4. The North Face Etip Gloves ($45)
Whenever you put on these stylish fleece gloves, "it feels like you're wearing a second skin," writes Melissa Rorech at Reviewed. Available in various colors for both men and women, North Face's Etips feature silicone palms and five conductive digits. Buy it at Amazon.
5. Warmen Women's Leather Gloves ($20)
Isotoner makes a quality alternative, but for a stylish leather option that's more affordable, these soft Napa sheepskin gloves "can't be topped," according to Best Reviews. They're lined with a blend of cashmere and wool, and they come in 10 colors. Buy it at Amazon.
