Review on Winter Texting Gloves with Larger Black Touchscreen Display by Joel Miranda

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Keeps hands warm without being too bulky

I have had several touch screen gloves from Timberlands through to the original It's Ridic gloves and they meet my needs very well. I particularly like them because they offer fairly reliable touch functionality, have an understated appearance, are all black with dark gray tips, and don't have the necessary bulk. Anyhow, I feel like the bulky touch gloves make precise touch gestures like texting even more difficult. I can still type with these gloves. Not as good as bare hands, but good enough, especially if you're using a gesture keyboard. Because it's not overly bulky, you'll find your hands feel a lot more free, while still providing ample warmth in most cold conditions. Compared to the original It's Ridic gloves, these are definitely larger and should be a better fit for most adults. For this reason I gifted my older pair to my girlfriend who suits her so much better than me. I still don't like how the seams converge on the sides of the fingertips, which can sometimes interfere with precise touch gestures. The thread is also a bit loose here and there, but I just use a lighter to burn the edges. Given those factors, I still think these are the best non-bulky gloves given the minimalist look.

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Slightly torn
