Customer Reviews The North Face Etip Glove

I find these gloves very comfortable, but they are not what you want if you are planning to stay outside in the cold for an extended period of time. They do not keep hands warm. Also, the eTip part doesn't really work. First, the adhesive to make it eTip doesn't extend to the tip of the finger, so you have to use the full finger pad to make it work. And even that stopped working after about 6 weeks.

Stylish: 5/5 mobility&etip: 5/5 warm: 1/5...in 2 minutes your fingers are gonna be at the same temperature as the environment. durability: not sure, returned them 1 day after.

Great for style and warmth but the Etip wore off after 2 months, which hinders them useless as I need to use my phone outside most of the day while I work.

I use these to keep my hands warm while I'm commuting on foot. Touch screen material wore off in 3 months after purchase. Not even 6 months of use and it's really worn out. Not worth the price!

these do not keep you warm, no difference bw this and any other cheaper form.

I did not like this product Because it was wind proof & did not keep my hands warm

The gloves are very stylish, but they do not keep your hands warm at all!

My son, who does not like winter apparel, loved the, thought they were warm and sleek. But within a week, theme tips wore off. They were returned and zappos as usual was fabulous.

I thought they were warm but they aren't as warm as I expected. But they are stylish. Fits a bit on the smaller size.

I have purchased and replaced these gloves 2x u see warranty as the "e-tip" doesn't last. I ended up throwing them in a pile with other old extra hats, mitts, etc.... Would not buy again.

Don't buy. E-tips need to go to top of fingertip, plus they're not warm enough.

I was looking for a pair of gloves that were stylish and versatile. I wanted them to be warm, but not bulky. These gloves are great but not all too warm. I have small hands so I ordered an xs, which ended up being a little loose fitting. I was expecting them to be more form-fitting for an xs. Overall, they're still a great glove and I would purchase them again, maybe in a youth size.

These gloves fit nice and work really well with technology, however, they are NOT warm whatsoever. In fact, it feels like my fingers are colder when wearing these! I love the North Face and have lots of their products, but these just are not warm at all.

Great for look and great for texting or just using your smartphone, THESE GLOVES ARE NOT FOR WARMTH.

I purchased these gloves in October of 2013, about three months later the Etip sections of my gloves began to change color and were not as sensitive when operating my electronic device. Now in Feb of 2014, Etip is absolutely ineffective. Many other manufacturers produce a similar product at a much lower cost. Whether the competitors product is better, I do not know. But if you are going to purchase something that only last a few months, I would recommend purchasing something less expensive.

i lost my tnf etip gloves from last year and was hoping to replace them. unfortunately, they've been changed. the fit is off and the material doesn't keep hands warm. last year's gloves seemed to have better material and fit. the only upside is that they do work tech-wise. overall a thumbs down especially considering the price. $45 for gloves that don't do their primary job (warmth). :-( bring back the old gloves! please?

These gloves (as expected) are thin and don't offer much warmth, but do provide at least some protection during brief periods outdoors. The Etip feature works as advertised on touch screens; however, I've found that the seams that bind the front and back of the glove together happen to be in the exact spot that my fingers touch the screen, making my touches less precise and sometimes difficult to control.

Pros: it looks cool Cons: everything else. I have fingerless gloves that keep my hands warmer. The fingertips don't form to your hands so good luck being able to work your smartphone while wearing them. I gave them a good go but returned them today. Very disappointing.

A like the versatility of this glove. Doesn't take up much space, easy to carry in a pocket, comfortable to wear. Nevertheless it's not a winter glove, would not give much warmth. It's rather good to protect your hands from chilly winds during the Fall season. Or might be used in the city. However if you'd buy it for the Etip feature, I frankly say it's a waste of money. It looks nice, not as bulky as most other smartphone compatible gloves. BUT they do the job. The Etip layer completely wears off in 4 to 6 weeks. Then it becomes nerve-racking to use them with a phone. It would be a nice glove if it would work. But it's more of a hit-n-miss.

Not a good gloves to wear especialy if its windy. Makes your hand even cold. I would not recommend buying these.

I bought these low-weight gloves to keep the wind off in mild temperatures and still be able to use electronics. They work for that. The issue is that, after just two weeks, the gloves look 5 years old. The palms have an uneven wear pattern, and a seam on one of the fingers has a thread poking out.

I bought these gloves so I wouldn't have to take my hands out to use my phone. I've had these gloves for 3 months and have only used them to commute to work but they do not work with my phone anymore AT ALL. While those gloves kept my hands comfortable, the side near the thumb pulled apart so they are no longer warm either. Maybe I got a bad pair, but I should be able to never stop exploring in these gloves, let alone commute to work in a mild winter.

Way over priced for the quality of the product. You are paying for the name The North Face to be on your hand. I bought these gloves because I THOUGHT they would be a high quality product that would work as advertised, I was wrong. The gloves are designed to be used with touch screen devices, and I have found that they don't work very well. I still end up having to take off my gloves to use my phone. I am also disappointed because these gloves have some rubber spots on the fingers and palm to help you grip things but after 2 months of wear, most of the rubber spots have come off of the gloves. Not to mention that the finger tips are close to wearing through. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Over priced for quality and usage
