We live in Michigan and wear gloves when we venture outside atleast 3 months of the year. With a touch screen mobile like the iPhone, it is hard to operate it with the gloves on.
I am sure you might have come across this problem too if you live in the northern hemisphere or wherever it’s too cold. So, we went on a quest to find some of the best winter gloves made just for iPhone and similar touch enabled devices.
One of these could make a great Christmas gift for a loved one using a touch screen device! Let’s look at them without further wait.

Don’t waste your time or money on DOT GLOVES!!
I ordered these gloves, the size that comes does not correspond to the size you think your ordering. So I sent them back… After numerous emails, none of which were responded to, I finally got my money back nearly two weeks later and only after I hunted them merchant down through PayPal. I feel like if I hadn’t, this would have been a total scam.
If you’re waiting for a refund, contact them through PayPal. The product, the company and most of all, the customer service are horrible and not worth the time of money.
