Other touch screen gloves we’ve tested

Some of the touchscreen gloves we tried didn’t live up to the recommendation for one reason or another.

Verloop Twist Knit Touchscreen Gloves for $35: Gloves don’t have to be grey, as our vibrant, eye-catching and fun color combinations prove. I tested the Twist Knit Touchscreen Gloves in Purple and Cobalt, and they were an instant hit with my daughter. The tips of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are touch screen friendly. I found it easy to scroll and even type with some practice, but you need a comfortable fit to type quickly and use your thumb. These gloves are comfortable, with ribbed cuffs, and are machine washable but are not waterproof.

Black Diamond Lightweight Screen Gloves, $35: Thin gloves can preserve your dexterity but provide some warmth. There’s a suede patch on the palm that serves as great padding when you’re holding an umbrella or steering wheel. The touchscreen is easy to use with my thumb, so it’s great for one-handed use, and I can type at close to normal speed. These gloves also have an elastic wrist for a secure fit and a plastic clip to hold them together when you take them off, so you’ll never lose one. It’s not particularly warm, and feels a little slippery.

Canada Goose Mixed Media Gloves, $175: Slipping on these gloves feels great because the brushed inner lining is incredibly comfortable. It’s warm too, with a soft shell and leather exterior. Unfortunately, the touchscreen performance is disappointing. You can type with either finger or thumb, but it takes a little more determination than other gloves on our list. I was somewhat able to use my thumb after some practice, but using my index finger felt wrong, as touches often didn’t register.

Knitted gloves from Marks & Spencer, $20 or £10: A gift from my in-laws, these knit gloves from trusted UK retailer Marks and Spencer are very good. It keeps your hands comfortable but also has special tactile pads on the tips of the index finger and thumb. I can scroll, click, and type just fine with these gloves on.

Graphene-X All Rounder Bio-X Gloves, $119: With a stylish look, high-tech graphene material on the back, and vegan bio-leather on the palm and fingers, these gloves are definitely unique. It’s comfortable too, but completely fails to keep my hands warm. The touchscreen material works, and I had no trouble tapping and swiping, but the links and square shape on the fingertips made it nearly impossible to type accurately.

Trendoux Winter Gloves $12: These affordable gloves have index finger and thumb tips that work with touchscreens, but the seams on the inside make typing with them a bit difficult and uncomfortable. It’s thin, so it’s not particularly warm, but the finish is soft and water-resistant, with anti-slip rubber dots on the palm and other fingers. I like the clip to snap them together when you take them off.

Maybe you already have touchless gloves that you love, or you simply don’t like any of our picks. There are a few alternatives worth considering:

pen: It may seem old-fashioned, but the stylus allows you to use your phone precisely without taking off your gloves and will work with any smartphone or gloves. The Bargains Depot 2-in-1 Pen ($9) worked well in our tests.

Hand warmer: If you’re braving the cold without gloves or using one of our slimline picks above, you might want to have a rechargeable hand warmer in your pocket. My favorite is the VQ Rechargeable Power Bank 10,000mAh Hand Warmer (£30), but it’s only available in the UK. People in the US can find plenty of similar options on Amazon.
