The Facts:
- Made from 100 percent high-grade lambskin
- Entire palm and all fingers are touchscreen compatible

Who said touch screen gloves have to be ugly? These premium leather ones are so chic, we’d want to add them to our winter wardrobe even if they weren’t iPhone-friendly. But don’t worry, these babies definitely are. They’re made with precision touch point control, so you can use any of your fingers (even your palm, if that’s your thing) to type. “The lining is made from super soft fleece, unlike other options that are made with scratchy wool,” one PureWow editor says. “Plus, they’re pretty affordable, which is important if you’re prone to losing gloves like I am.”

At only $9, they’ll get the job done and keep your hands cozy even in 14-degree weather, while letting you text and scroll with ease. The thumb, pointer and middle fingertips have aeronautic conductive yarn sewn in, so the typos in your next text are all your fault, not the gloves’!

These guys are a must-have for a day on the slopes (or building snowmen in the backyard). They’re waterproof and cold-resistant up to -40°F, but they’re touch screen capable too. The thumb and pointer finger have goatskin sewn on, which makes for chic and precise touch screen control.
Runner Up: Vigrace Women’s Winter Warm Touch Screen Gloves
The Facts:
- Double-layered touch screen sensitive material on three fingers
- Warm fleece-lined interior
- Classic cable-knit design
We love a good cable knit for winter, so naturally, we were drawn to these. Then we learned that they’re more than just cute, they’re also ultra-warm thanks to their thick fleece-lined interior. Honestly, they feel like you’re wrapping your hands in a cozy blanket. And most important, the double-layered touch screen sensitive material ensures accurate tapping. We have a feeling they’ll be a hit with all the other moms at the bus stop this winter.
Underdog: Unigear Touch Screen Running Gloves
The Facts:
- Four-way stretchy fabric for tight fit
- Reinforced elastic stitching to prevent ripping
- Warm, yet breathable
Frigid temps shouldn’t force you to endure the worst songs on your running playlist because you can’t tap “next.” These running gloves have conductive microfiber fabric on the thumb and pointer finger so you can keep using your phone as you rack up the miles. They’ll keep your hands warm, but not too warm during outdoor jogs (they’re still breathable), and the palms have anti-slip grip, so you’ll never have another phone-meets-concrete incident.
