Customer Reviews The North Face Apex + Etip™ Gloves

This glove gave me exactly what I needed. It's waterproof, it provides heat, and I can call or send a text with the glove on

These are really high quality gloves. If you're not looking to spend $90 on a pair of gloves then these are it. I love that you can touch your phone with them on and they keep water out really well. They're heavy and definitely keep your hands warm when its really cold. I was extremely impressed with the quality of these gloves and would definitely recommend them to someone else

Great for everyday Midwest winter weather, just not extreme cold weather.

My daughter liked these gloves for snow play They lasted a couple of hours before her hands were cold.

The gloves seem to be water resistant but the material is a bit stiff; the gloves are not as warm as I would have hoped for.

Bought for New England snowy weather/snow blowing/water resistant but still wanted them to look nice. Fit well. Not as warm as temp rating indicates.

These gloves are good for daily use when leaving the house and running errands. Quality is decent for price paid. Would buy again if on sale.

I wish they would have fit, I was looking forward to using them. I normally wear XS but this had smaller fingertips than my other gloves. Was able to return without issues, hope they will have size S available soon.

I would use these after my child stretches out the wrist opening a little so I can get my small hands in, they fit well once I can get them on.

They are on the warmer/thicker side than I was thinking - but not a bad thing, just not a perfect replacement of my thinner gloves! They are super cute and would recommend.

They are warm but not for extreme cold. But 1 size bigger as they fit a little on the small size from other NF gloves I bought in the past

Like the look of these gloves, they are fairly warm (not warm enough for sub zero temps though). however, they are a bit snug, and my pair, one is tighter than the otehr (the left hand fits fairly well, the right is a bit too snug). I can still wear them, but it's a bit of a nuisance getting them on and off.

Ended up returning as immediately knew would not be warm enough for winter activities such as skiing.

This product runs small. I originally bought these In a size S for a trip to Iceland, but had to exchange them for a M because the fingertips were tight and not long enough. They are a bit stiff at first but they do keep your hands warm.

I have used them in the snow and my hands were warm and dry. If it's frigid outside, my hands are not super warm, but for me, they-'re enough and way better than other "regular" gloves. They work with your phone, too (of course, don't expect to use them as you were not wearing anything in your hands, but you can write something simple or use the menu).

Purchased with the hope that I could manipulate a cell phone and dog poop bags without having to take gloves off mid-dog walk. The fingers are too bulky and the wind blocking material has little grip. Still love the gloves, but I'm back to square one with having to take them off to "take care of business".

The fit across the knuckles is perfect, but the finger length is too short (the size chart may not be accurate). I am returning the small to exchange for a medium. I recommend ordering two sizes to see which one works best, then returning one pair.

Love the fit and fabric and overall look. However, fingers get cold early on in walk - was expecting them to be warmer

I felt these ran a little on the small size, either that or I have long fingers. I ordered a size medium and the seams don't come all the way down between my fingers but they fit everywhere else on my hand. They are definitely a little stiff but I guess there is always a trade off for warmth. They did keep my hands warm for the 15 min I was out but I think if I was out in 20 degrees or below for much longer than that I would still need a hand warmer inside the glove. The Etips do work pretty well compared to other gloves I have owned.

The gloves are great for technology use but did not keep my hands warm on a two mile walk yesterday. My husband has a pair in black and loves them.

Good for casual wear, just don't like how short the fingers are. Otherwise the size fits well.

Too small! Last year I bought a pair of North Face gloves and they were too big in size large. This time I measured and according to the size chart I need size medium. Received the gloves yesterday and sure enough they are too small. Have to return and reordered size large.

I got those as a birthday gift and I was upset that they are so snug. I usually buy S or M size, but those are way too small. Gave my pair to my friends daughter, went to buy bigger size, but they are gone :(

I bought these because I wanted a medium-weight glove that would allow me to maintain dexterity yet still be able to operate my touch screen. My car has a touch sensor on the handle and these gloves surprisingly let me 'communicate' with my car so I don't have to get my key out of my purse or pocket to open the door. My only complaint is the fit. If the fit were perfect, I would have given it 5 stars- in all, I ended up buying 3 pairs in different sizes. Let me explain: based on the size chart, my hand measured to fit a women's medium. The finger length was slightly snug but not too bothersome and was too narrow across the palm. If you look at the men's and women's size chart, the hand measurements are the same for the men's small and women's medium, so I made a 2nd purchase and bought a men's small and women's large in the same glove for size comparison. I settled with the men's small- the fingers are ever so slightly longer in the mens small vs the women's medium and there is more space across the palm in the men's small than the women's medium. The women's large had the longest fingers (too long for me) but was comfortable across the palm. The women's medium and women's large are being returned but I'm still happy with the purchase.

The gloves took a few uses to break in a little so they weren't as stiff; now I can move my fingers much more easily, and they don't look huge either. They are fairly warm, except that they aren't as windproof as I expected from reading the description and other reviews. I walk dogs and I noticed that the hand holding the leashes was warm, but the other hand tended to get colder. If you are doing something, where the palm side is hidden, you'll probably be fine. But if your hands are going to be open mostly, you might start feeling the chill. Seems like the fabric used to make the gloves touch-screen compatible still needs to be improved to prevent the wind from getting through.
