Chilly morning runs and outdoor errands with touchscreen-friendly hands
For outdoor activities in cold weather, these gloves combine windproof and waterproof construction with a light polar fleece lining and stretchy recycled fleece described as warming and wicking. The Etip-compatible palm with silicone gripper print lets you use your phone or touchscreen device without pulling the gloves off, while the four-way stretch keeps hands comfortable in motion.[1,4,7]
Warm gloves for long cold-weather hikes
A customer reported using these gloves on long hikes in cold temperatures, saying the supple material stayed warm enough for extended wear while still allowing dexterity. If you're looking for gloves that balance insulation with hand mobility on the trail, this single reported experience may be worth considering.[7]
Checking your phone in the cold without bare hands
These gloves have Etip technology on every finger and the palm, so you can tap, swipe and check your phone or other touchscreen devices without taking them off in cold weather. One customer found the e-tips work without a problem for basic interactions, though precise tasks like typing small buttons may still need a bare finger. The silicone grip on the palm is also meant to help keep your phone from slipping while you use it.[1,3,5,7,8]
Touchscreen-friendly gloves for chilly morning runs
Made for runs on chilly mornings, these stretch gloves let you use your phone or sports watch without taking them off, thanks to five-finger touchscreen capability. A silicone gripper palm helps you hold onto your phone, and the four-way-stretch recycled fleece with Radiametric Articulation is designed to keep your hands in a natural, relaxed position even when pushing hard up and downhill.[1,4,5]

Light gloves that layer under heavier gloves or mittens
The North Face Etip Recycled Fibres Gloves have a streamlined profile designed to be worn on their own or as liners under heavier gloves or mittens. Layering them underneath is intended to add insulation for colder conditions.[6]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Etip Recycled Fibres Gloves: Choose these gloves if you want to use your phone in the cold without taking them off — the Etip palm gives five-finger touchscreen capability, and reviewers report the e-tips work fine for basic swiping, though they are only so-so for precise tasks like typing small buttons, so bare fingers may still be needed. They are also a good pick for cold-weather activities such as winter runs, hikes, or dog walking: the windproof, waterproof recycled-fleece shell with a light polar fleece lining is reported warm enough for extended wear while staying supple, with a grippy silicone dot palm that one customer used to open poop bags glove-free. The recycled-polyester, four-way-stretch design runs true to size (XS to LARGE in black) and can be worn alone or layered under heavier mitts for colder days.[1,4,5,6,7] | Etip Recycled Fibres Gloves: Choose these if you want touchscreen-friendly gloves for cold-weather use: Etip technology covers every finger (not just index and thumbs), and reviewers report accurate taps and swipes, though one found precise texting tricky. They pair a windproof, waterproof shell with a light recycled polar fleece lining that one wearer calls thin yet warm, and they come in black from small to extra-large—but note the fit reportedly runs slightly large, so sizing down may help if you're between sizes. Be aware the anti-slip palm grip is reported to peel after a few wears and the build quality is described as fragile for frequent or rugged use.[2,9,10,11] |

Great quality
Love these. They fit perfectly and the quality is excellent. The little rubber grips mean I can open a poop bag without taking my gloves off—key in Canada! The e-tips work so-so, but how can you replace skin and fingers for that, really?
Fits perfect
Love them, let’s say, fits like a glove! Extra info, I use my phone not problem 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic gloves!
I would buy another pair in a heartbeat!
Gants Norton Face
Ces gants sont parfaits! J’en suis à ma 3e paire et je les ai toujours avec moi pour mes grandes randonnées. Ils sont souples et suffisamment chauds pour les températures froides
