TouchTec Leather Technology
On the slopes, on the hiking trail, walking to work or waiting for the bus … now you can answer your touch screen phone, manage your music, and surf the web while your TouchTec® gloves keep your hands warm and toasty. TouchTec® leather is real, quality leather that's been uniquely processed and developed to mimic what all touch screens respond to – the touch of the human hand. No gimmicks, beads, or special threads – just beautiful, natural leather tanned with the extraordinary TouchTec® process.

Popular Science Magazine's Review of the Sensor Gloves
“Unlike other touchscreen gloves that limit sensitivity to well-placed dots on the fingertips, the Sensor Gloves are universal. Every part of the leather that lines the fingers and palms is treated with nanoparticles that interact with capacitive screens the same way skin does.” - Popular Science Magazine

husband is happy

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2012

Color: BlackSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase

My husband wanted gloves for Christmas to use with his phone. I read many of the other reviews with the various brands. My husband really likes these gloves. They are heavy enough to keep his hands warm during his morning workout. They are not thin liners like I've read in other reviews, but they also are not ski gloves. They are not like the other gloves I have looked at. Other gloves have a silver dot or silver threads in the tips. These gloves do not, the special material is somehow in the leather. (Please don't ask if its real leather because I don't really know). You can't see the special thread. My husband says they work great with his Droid X and he can even use the back side of the finger tip too (where your nail is).

I hope this helps.

TouchTec is great, but these are not warm and the fitting is off

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2014

I'm always using my phone so I needed a pair of gloves that would allow me to use my phone during the winter without having to take my gloves off. I like that the TouchTec is on all over the palm of the glove instead of just on the fingers; I also like that the TouchTec works pretty well.

That's where the good things I have to say about these gloves ends. I'm from Minnesota, where a typical winter day is usually in the single digits to the teens, but with wind chill, it can feel like it's in the negatives. These gloves are not very warm at all. It's not a big deal when I wear them to go outside to warm up my car and scrape off the snow/ice, but if I am going to be outside for an extended period of time, my hands are freezing within 15 minutes of being outdoors. Also, the fitting of the gloves are incredibly odd. I initially bought a size medium and when I tried it on, I noticed that while the middle and ring fingers fit fine, the thumb, index and pinky fingers were really long. I had a lot of space between the tip of my fingers and where the end of the glove fingers meet, thus making it difficult sometimes to use my phone with them on, therefore defeating their purpose. I thought maybe it was just too large for me so I ordered a small. The small ended up not only being too tight for my hands, but I also encountered the same problems I had had with the medium, where the thumb, index, and pinky fingers were too long. I returned the small and decided to keep the medium.

Even though these gloves do not keep my hands very warm in the cold MN winters and they fit really oddly, I have not yet found a pair of gloves that have the same kind of technology as these where it is all over the glove instead of just being on the fingers.

"TouchTec" is great. Logo is really ugly (like shiny Puff Paint).

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2012

The "TouchTec" leather on these gloves works great on touch screens. Much better than relying on conductive threads sewn into the fingertips, like other models. And these are decently warm. Most competing products are only suitable for use as glove liners. Minor complaints:

1) The raised logo is incredibly, obnoxiously ugly. It looks like a child attacked your gloves with *shiny* 'puff paint'. The photograph cannot convey this.

2) The leather at the finger tips is fairly thick. This makes them less tactile when using the touchscreen. But they are clearly made to be sturdy. So this is a reasonable compromise.

Four stars for reasonable warmth and good touchscreen sensitivity. Be sure you can handle the ugly logo.

UPDATE: I just want to reemphasize the "fat fingers" nature of these gloves. You get a sense of the squared-off finger tips when looking at the photos. They work, but precision is limited, particularly when trying to type on any kind of on-screen keyboard.

Not suprised

First and foremost, these gloves do what gloves must do; they keep your hands warm. I commute via train and walk a mile to and from the station daily and simply stated, these gloves keep my hands warm. If my wife saw me say (type) that she'd say I'm fibbing because my hands are "always" cold.
These gloves are also extremely comfortable, they have a profile similar to liners and yet they are as warm as heavier gloves.
As for the touch screen technology, it works perfectly!!! And it's on all 5 fingers!!!
I have arthritic fingers and often can't use my thumb or index fingers and unlike other "sensor" gloves, that's NOT a problem with these wonderful gloves.

I first received an Outdoor Research hat as a gift 2 years ago and have been buying their winter gear since.

Expensive -- but I can see why

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2013

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I was tired of getting cheap-o touchscreen gloves -- like isotoner and smart touch -- so with hands getting rough and cold this winter, decided to splurge on a gift to myself with these ones. Well, they're definitely better than any others I tried -- the entire surface is suitable for touching (which is great!!), and I love the feel of the insides of the gloves and the wrist area. Both are very comfortable, do not chafe or pull or go loose.

They are very suitable for driving, the hand temperature is just right even when I do not run the heater when driving on our Michigan winter roads. The back of the gloves is fine fleece but it is not wind-resistant, so hands are a bit cold for outdoors in anything below 25 degrees or so without wind (or in comparable windchill), but that's not what they are made for, really.

Now, why 4 stars instead of 5 -- I have two complaints... First, the length of the fingers is a bit too long for the glove size. I always wear medium, and the width of the gloves is just right -- but the fingers are a bit too long, making it difficult to, for example, double click iphone home button with fingertips. Second, the leather in front folds pretty hard and retains shape, so after a month or two of wear the gloves look quite "old" and folded up. Have not tried washing them, maybe that might help.
