Customer Reviews The North Face Salty Dog Etip™ Glove

I love the look of these. I finally decided to forgo fingerless gloves at wintertime and give these a try. Unfortunately, the threading on one of the leather patches broke on the first day of wearing them. Closer inspection revealed the thread was rather thin, and not incredibly durable. I expect better quality from North Face, so I'm a little disappointed. They are warm though, so no complaints there. They're also a bit bulkier than I thought they'd be. And the "etip" on the ends of the thumb and pointer finger seems to only work half the time. Definitely not fluidly enough to text out a message, but maybe to place call.

These gloves look super cool and feel good on your hands but the etips in the thumb and finger tips do not work at all on my iPhone X. Swipe, tap, and touch all day long and the screen never knows that you touched it. Ridiculous that the ETip feature is specifically called out and mentioned several times in the description and yet it does not work at all. NOT AT ALL.

I got the gloves and tried them on. My hands are about average size for a guy and I found that the gloves were very tight around the fingers. I also got the largest size, so I had to return the gloves and find a different pair.

This was a Christmas gift for my wife. After less than a week of intermittent use, one of the fingertips is already frayed and the leather palm is unraveling. Warm, comfortable gloves but poor quality.

These are exactly what I want in a everyday winter glove - but the sizing doesn't really fit XL hands. If you're a solid XL these aren't the best option. Shame, hopefully they add proper run of sizes and I'd pick up a pair in a heartbeat. As they are, it's a pass.

Fingers are couple inches too short on the L/XL size gloves. Plus material in palm area bunches up. I have average hands. Usually size 10 gloves fit me. Other than poor fit for humans, quality materials and touch screen functionality is pretty awesome.
