Touchscreen gloves

Winter gloves with conductive fingertips that let you use your phone without exposing your hands to cold. Essential for any outdoor activity in freezing weather where you need to check maps, take photos, or interact with apps.

What to look for

  1. 1Conductive material on at least thumb and index finger (preferably all fingertips)
  2. 2Water-resistant outer layer to handle snow and light rain
  3. 3Enough insulation for your local winter temps without being too bulky to grip your phone
  4. 4Snug fit at wrist to keep cold air out

Skip

  • Gloves where only one finger works—you need at least two for pinch gestures
  • Ultra-thick insulation that makes precise tapping impossible

Used for: Winter Pokemon Go or geocaching sessions · Photography in cold weather · Navigation while hiking in winter · Any outdoor event when temps drop below 40°F
