So okay, I live in Austin Texas, so this is not a situation that I have to deal with very often.  But you, who live in a (shall we say) more northerly location, where the climate is such that you tend to freeze your fingers off in the winter, you probably like to wear gloves, right?  (I sure do on my skiing sojourns!).  But this is a touchscreen world, and probably the last thing you want to be doing is struggling with all your gear in a high wind at the ATM machine while you attempt to tug your gloves off to use the touchscreen, right?

Well, now that Geeks rule the earth, a company has come up with a solution:  Agloves.   Agloves give you ten-finger touchscreen conductivity, so you don’t have to be reduced to freezing fingers and gloves flying off in the wind just because you need a couple of sawbucks from the local bank.  With winter coming on hard, and global climate change gorfing with the weather, you should probably check them out.

Full information below.

Agloves, www.agloves.com. With Agloves, we did not just “improve” on existing touch screen gloves, instead we studied how capacitive screens work and used the best scientific research to create a whole new kind of glove. The secret is the silver yarn knitted into the entire glove. Agloves design provides Gear Diary readers with a number of benefits that they previously have not seen in one glove.

  • Ten-finger conductivity. Wearer can operate full size touch screen keyboards, like Ipads, that require more than two fingers to operate.
  • Effective cold weather. For capacitive touch screens to work, tiny amounts of moisture, salts, and oils on your skin must be present to create conductivity allowing electrons to flow between you and your device.  When the tips of your fingertips are not conductive enough due to dryness and cold, some gloves stop working.  With Agloves, the bioelectricity from the palm of your hand can flow through the glove to your fingertips and maintain your connection.
  • Warm. How can lightweight gloves be warm?  Silver provides natural thermal conductivity to even out temperatures in your hand. It traps infrared radiation generated by the body keeping the wearer warmer in cold weather. Can be a stand alone glove or a glove liner.
  • Precision and accuracy. Agloves utilizes a blend of lightweight yarns with just the right amount of spandex so that the gloves are snug on your fingertips.  The whole hand conductivity gives fingertips even more conductive umph so that for some people, texting is even easier.
  • Simple and elegant. These are attractive everyday, unisex gloves that happen to work brilliantly with touch screens.
  • Are washable.
  • Have an affordable $17.99 price

    Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.

      These gloves are pretty decent for touch screens, if you are in colder weather though I like either Glider Gloves (find them at http://www.touchtonic.com/) or even 180s when snowboarding
