When you’re out on the slopes you could leave the phone in your pocket (or even home) but you know you’re going to reach for it, and with the Burton Gondy Leather Glove you don’t even need to expose your hands to the cold.
These feature a soft and supple leather shell, Themacore insulation, and GORE-TEX waterproof membrane that will keep the fingers dry, while the TouchTec enabled leather palm is optimized for touchscreen control. If you don’t have these on your hands… leave the phone in the pocket (where it belongs).
One downside to touchscreen technology is that it isn’t exactly easy to use with gloves – but then again most handsets are tough to use with gloves. So maybe those with touchscreens have an advantage thanks to winter products such as the Outdoor Research Stormsensor Gloves, which utilize TouchTec water-resistant leather on the fingers and palm. This allows the digits on your hand to active the digits or other items on the touchscreen. This way your hands can stay warm and you can still text and type away. Of course it does mean more people will be using handsets on the slopes, but that’s simply called progress.
