Customer Reviews The North Face Etip Glove

I got these gloves has a gift because my hands get cold fast. But it does not help at all. It feels the same if i had nothing on. My fingers freeze when i have to go out in the winter.

I recieved these gloves as a gift with the intent that I could where them while commuting, both by bus in and in the car, and still be able to use my touchscreen. The touch screen aspect works great but my hands are freezing in temperatures ranging from +2C to -25C. While driving my warmed up car the temperature of my hands was painfully cold.

The gloves certainly let you use your digital device, but if you are buying these to keep your hands warm (i.e. the traditional function of hand-wear) they might not work out for you. Your hands might be well chilled! I find that if the temperature is below 0c they are really not useful at all, even if you are walking or have a high level of activity. The material really does not block the wind so you end up with cold hands. Good idea from a design standpoint but the material of the gloves is perhaps not ideal and needs more thermal or wind blocking properties to be of any use. I have owned lots of NF products but this is the first one I would say is a fail.
