Glider Gloves are the best touch screen compatible gloves for men, women and children. Touchscreen gloves, also known as texting gloves, capacitive gloves or even iPhone gloves, are gloves that allow you to interact with a screen with your gloves on so your hands stay warm. Our gloves are designed for winter use, keeping your hands protected and toasty with an amazing ability to still type and swipe your phone like normal. Glider Gloves smartphone gloves are rated #1 in the market so beware of mass-produced typing gloves that are a dime a dozen and the price tags associated with brand name specialty gloves. Don’t compromise with an inferior performing glove that won’t keep your hands warm or look as fashionable as Glider Gloves. The company’s only focus is to ensure our touch screen gloves are fully functional, warm and innovative!
Using special conductive micro-fibers woven into the liner, we are able to bridge the conductive gap your gloves create between you and your device. Typical winter gloves create a barrier between the user and the screen, but not Glider Gloves.
The result of conductive yarn gloves? Amazing touch response along your entire hand and fingers and allows for precise control and unparalleled touch response of your touchscreen device - no matter which part of the glove you use.
THE BENEFITS OF TOUCHSCREEN GLOVES
In the cold winter months, it is no surprise that you need a good pair of gloves to keep your hands warm and protect them from the elements. Today, everybody is connected, and quick communication is key to keep things running and to maintain relationships. Many of us need to be able to communicate on the go, in or out of the cold, and face the elements when we need to take a call or send a text message.
Are you tired of having to remove your gloves in the cold to use your smartphone device? We’ve got a solution for you.
Touchscreen gloves, also called texting gloves, capacitive gloves, or even iPhone gloves were engineered so you can use your phone while protecting your hands, but not all of these gloves are created equal.
We’ve created a practical solution to this problem that knocks other touchscreen compatible gloves to the curb. Now, you don’t have to settle for a low-quality product that leaves your hands exposed to the elements or one that sacrifices function for warmth.
Our layered design makes Glider Gloves warm without being bulky, and that includes the winter option. With these on, it is easy to not only use a smart phone, but sift through pockets, pull credit cards out of your wallet, or anything else. We have designed a product that has maximum function in a simple design.
OUR HISTORYGlider Gloves hit the market in 2010 and took off. People immediately recognized their quality and functionality. We’ve been recognized with media coverage through USA Today, the Discovery Channel, GQ magazine, and were even featured at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013. Glider Gloves are tried and true, and because of this, won Wirecutter’s award for best touch screen gloves 3 years in a row!

Our Thoughts
Who wouldn't want an awesome pair of winter gloves you can text with?!? Seriously though, these gloves are pretty cool. Or maybe I should say pretty warm.
I live in Minnesota, so winters are cold. COLD. When it's 30F, we think it's warm and might not bother with gloves. But for those early mornings and the January subzero temps, having warm gloves is a must. But warm gloves you can text with? That's a bonus!
So here you go - Glider Gloves are a nice warm, thicker pair of gloves. Three layers of fabric with conducive copper yarn woven into the entire hand, not just the fingertips.
And look at this grippy stuff! Your phone doesn't slide around in your hand, which is really nice. I can't tell you how many times I've almost dropped my phone out in the cold.
My current set up when I want to use my phone outside in the deep cold of winter is a pair of the super cheap, thin knit gloves with the thinner fabric on the thumb and forefinger, topped with a thicker pair of fuzzy knit gloves that my girly long fingernails have worn holes in the thumb/forefinger. And then having sleeves long enough to cover all but my fingertips. And no, that doesn't exactly cut it for the subzero days. But to get these kind of gorgeous early morning winter sunrise photos, you have to go out into that early morning freezing cold. (all photos taken by me)
See all that ice? It has to be really freaking cold for sundogs to appear - it has to do with ice crystals in the atmosphere. Did I mention this is Minnesota??
Anyway - since it's only October here right now, and not super cold - I waited until our coldest morning to take these gloves outside and test them out. It was 39F, cold enough I'd want some gloves if I was going out for a walk.
I actually took this screen shot of the morning's weather while wearing the Winter Style Glider Gloves. I didn't have to worry about dropping my phone, the grip on the palm worked great. The gloves are nice and soft inside. Thicker, cushy feel. With the copper yarn, I could use any fingers I wanted on my phone and they all worked.
While wearing the gloves, I also took a pic of my dog which is a bit difficult to do since she's rarely still long enough to take a photo - extra grip really helps there because you've gotta be quick!
One note on care: you can hand wash these gloves, but it says on their website to lay flat to dry, and don't put them in the dryer.
Here's something else I like about Glider Gloves:
GLIDER GLOVES AND RAYNAUD’S DISEASE
"For some, especially those diagnosed with Raynaud’s disease, keeping your hands cozy isn’t just a comfort but a necessity. When fingers get cold, Raynaud’s disease can cause an uncomfortable attack that limits the function of your fingers until they can be warmed and blood can be recirculated in the fingers. Because of this, those suffering from Raynaud’s often wear gloves to prevent problems, but as you know, typical gloves come with their own set of limitations.
Our gloves are the best for those needing protection to keep their hands warm to prevent numbness and sometimes painful tingling or stinging that comes with an attack. These gloves can easily be incorporated into daily life because they can be practically used anywhere and allow for smartphone and laptop trackpad usage."
Glider Gloves not only offers Winter Style Gloves, but also Urban Style gloves - low profile, lightweight, and slim fitting.
