Etre Touchy – keep your hands warm while touching your touchy things

Etretouchy

The Etre Touchy gloves are designed to let you fondle your touchscreens even in the bitter depths of winter. They’ve done this by cutting off the thumb and index finger tips to make sure you can stroke, glide, multi-touch and similar all with minimal risk of frostbite. Frozen chicken as I am, I’m gonna have to pass on this. I’d rather wrassle a warthog than expose any part of my pinkies to sub-zero temperatures, even if it is for something as important as locating the nearest pizza shop on my Google maps. Your mileage may vary. £14.99 ($22.40).

 Etre Touchy gloves give you the best of both worlds: They give you the warmth and dryness of a normal pair of gloves combined with the touch-screen / electronic device compatibility of fingerless gloves. That’s because they are “part normal pair of gloves, part fingerless pair of gloves!” That is, they cover your middle, ring and little fingers completely, keeping your hands nice cosy, clean and damp-free; while exposing only the tips of your thumbs and index fingers…

  • Thanks for posting about us – shame you're "gonna have to pass" though.

    Per your comment about "sub-zero temperatures": Not sure if you know this already, but most mobile devices won't work in really cold conditions. Take the iPhone, for example, according to Apple's spec, it only operates at temperatures of between 32 to 95 deg. F (0 to 35 deg. C). Thus, gloves like ours don't need to perform in truly freezing conditions.

    I doubt this will persuade you to reconsider pulling on a pair of Touchy but, hey, you can't knock me for trying ;-)
