Using a touchscreen without taking your gloves off in the cold
These gloves are made for checking your phone or other touchscreen devices while wearing them in cold weather, thanks to Etip technology that is compatible with touch screens. One reviewer found the touchscreen function still worked very effectively even when the gloves were soaked through.[1,2,5]
Winter wear with a warm fleece lining
These touchscreen-compatible gloves have a warm polar fleece lining for cold-weather wear. A reviewer found them the least warm gloves in his test, noting the cuffs let cold in once on and the fit runs slightly small, so they may suit milder winter conditions better than deep cold.[1,2]
Holding your phone while wearing the gloves
A silicone grip pattern runs across the palm, thumb and index finger, placed where you hold a phone or other device, to help you keep a hold on your phone while wearing the gloves. One reviewer found the grip less tacky than many other gloves they had used and noticed early signs of it wearing off.[1,6]
Using your phone in the cold, with silicone grip for poles
Wear these Etip gloves to stay connected outdoors without taking them off — a reviewer found the touchscreen function worked well even when the gloves were soaked through. The brand describes its Etip gloves as having silicone gripper pads for gripping ski poles, though the reviewer noted the grip only covers the thumb and first two fingers and gave little grip on a walking pole shaft, with early signs of wearing off.[1,3]
Brand-stated use: winter running and outdoor exploration
The North Face describes its Etip gloves as accessories for outdoor exploration and states they are meant to be worn as running gloves with winter-worthy training gear. These are the brand's stated intended uses for the Etip line, not reported customer experiences, and the brand does not specifically confirm them for this lined version.[3]
Keeping thin glove pairs together
Thin gloves like these are easy to misplace, and the Etip Lined Gloves include a pairing clip plus small internal hanging loops to keep the pair connected and stored together. One reviewer called these welcome features, though they also noted stitching around the cuff rim started coming undone with little use.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Etip Lined Gloves: Choose these lightweight touchscreen gloves if you want to use a phone or GPS in the cold without taking them off — the Etip conductive fingertips worked very effectively even when the gloves were soaked through, per one reviewer. The warm polar fleece lining, silicone grip pattern on the palm, thumb and index finger, and a pairing clip with internal hanging loops help keep the thin 55-gram (size M pair) gloves practical and hard to lose. Note the reservations: the same reviewer found them the least warm gloves in their test, the silicone grip showed early wear, the cuff stitching started to come undone with little use, and the fit runs slightly small with a tight, non-elasticated cuff that can let cold in once on.[1,2,4,5,6] | Etip Recycled Fibres Gloves: Choose this if you need windproof, waterproof protection and touch screen compatibility on all fingers while using materials made from recycled fibers. These gloves feature a light polar fleece lining that feels plush for cozy warmth, and an anti-slip textured palm designed for optimal grip. Be aware that the anti-slip coating sheds after a couple of wears, and due to increased touch surface area, accurate texting while wearing them can be difficult.[7,8] |
