In many parts of the country, winter temperatures have arrived—and fingers are definitely feeling it. They deserve some protection from the biting air. They also need to text. And check Google Maps. And snap photos of the snow. For all that, you need some touch-screen-friendly gloves. They manage to keep out the chill without depriving you of your phone.
Touch-screen gloves aren't hard to find, but finding the right pair can be tougher. If you're DIY-inclined, you can turn a pair of winter gloves you already love into a touch-screen pair with some metal thread and minimal sewing skills, by painting on some AnyGlove, or by sticking on GloveTacts.
But for far less effort and likely better results, we've got pairs we've picked out for men, women, and kids. They combat the cold and keep you in touch with friends, family, and the sports scores you need to check while you wait for the train.
