Customer Reviews The North Face Apex + Etip™ Gloves

Girlfriend loved the gloves.

Great e-tips. Comfortable gloves. I wish there were warmer but they were exactly as described.

My measurements fit the women's size large as described on the site however the gloves were too small. I returned them and bought men's size large instead since there is no bigger women's size.

Maybe because I have small hands. They do seem to be waterproof. Sent back because didn't want to use and then not like them. Really like t100 and t300 . Kept them but not waterproof

size small for womens was larger than I anticipated compared to other gloves. etip worked well. have had since xmas with no other complaints

I'm in Chicago and these gloves are perfect! That are kinda hard to get your hand into initially but thats good bc once you get your hands into the glove it's very smug and warm. The touch feature on the finger tips work excellent...better than any e touch glove I've used before. Also the gloves snap together so you won't lose them

I needed a pair of gloves for the winter in Vancouver, which this year has been a little colder than usual (or so I'm told, this is only my second winter here). We've had lows of around freezing down to 22 F Downtown. I initially bought the Etip Hardface and they were completely useless. After about 5 minutes, my hands would be numb and hurting from the cold. I still didn't want anything super bulky and was willing to compromise by bearing a certain degree of cold for a certain degree of dexterity. So I ended up buying these, and they seem to be the right balance for me. This morning, I wore them while walking to work in 22 F weather. They were comfortably warm for the most part, but I could notice the tips of my fingers start to get chilly while I was halfway to work. But they never got any colder than that and I was able to happily have my hands out the whole time. When I took them off at work, yes my fingers were a bit chilly but far from uncomfortable or unbearable. These do exactly what I was hoping for while looking good and being very comfortable to wear. They are also very easy to put on and take off unlike the Etip Hardface ones which were a struggle. I was able to handle my phone very easily and the touchscreen was very responsive even with my fingers sometimes not being all the way to the tip of the glove. One more thing of note is that I'm a guy that apparently has shorter fingers than usual. The S in the men's was a little too big for me, but the women's M was a much better fit. I don't really see any difference other than the color of the logo anyway. TL;DR, they seem to be a nice pair of gloves that feel pretty solidly built to boot. You're going to have some chilly but not uncomfortably cold fingers if the temp is between freezing down to 22 F. In exchange you get less bulky gloves with decent touch screen dexterity. May be manageable at colder temperatures too, but I haven't been able to test that theory.

The gloves are absolutely warm but I'd say they run a little large. I purchased a medium but to effectively use the etip I could've gotten a small but most importantly my hands are warm on my walk to work!

These are incredibly soft on the inside! However, they are a bit stiff and bulky which makes it impossible to use the etip function. There's too much material in the way so all you should expect to do is unlock the phone and click specific apps. No typing. Giving them 4 stars because they're so soft and warm but you just can't really use the etip.

I purchase this gloves in December and so far they are okay. While standing in NYC, my fingers are a little cold, but in motion my fingers are warm. I need a little more time to determine if they truly keep my fingers warm.

Meticulously constructed with good details and features that make it aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to wear. Wish the gloves were warmer and they're rather expensive. Worth it for mild to cold temperatures (around 30 degrees F) but won't hold up in extreme temperatures.

The gloves kept my hands warm comfortably in 25-35 degrees F. I could operate my cell phone but not very quickly, hopefully with more practice it will get easier. They are stylish and the black will go with all of my jackets.

I can't wait to use them in winter, so far the size was as expected, fit perfect and is great to be able to use the phone without taking them out.

I just spent the weekend snow skiing and snowmobiling in Vail/Beaver Creek Mountain in Colorado and these gloves were perfect for both activities.. It was so nice not to have to take them off to use your smart phone.

Love them!

The main purpose that I bought these gloves for was shoveling snow when it's very cold out. I have yet to use them for this purpose so I'm not sure how they are in cold weather. The material is a lighter weight so they are not big and bulky. I tried on a men's small in the store near me and they fit great. I order mine online and they were out of the men's small so I did the sizing chart and bought a woman's M. These feel a little bigger than the ones I tried but not much and I can move my fingers around without feeling like I have huge wads of cotton on my fingertips. So I like them so far. I would give them a five star but I'm just not sure how they will be in the cold. My hands get cold very easily so I will update when they have had a true test.

I just received these gloves today so I can't say how well they work in cold conditions, but I will say that they are comfortable and well-designed. However, the product states the they have touchscreen capabilities which is not true in my case. I am unable to use them with my iPhone 6. I thought this was because I have a glass screen protector, but when I tried them with my sister's iPhone (with a plastic screen protector) they still didn't work, which is slightly disappointing.

For a cold weather glove, I do not think that you will get a better E-tip functionality. I love the fact that the gloves hook together. These gloves retain warmth well. Because they are wind and water resistant, they are great for scraping ice and brushing snow off your car on cold winter mornings. Dexterity is good for a thick glove. However, this product could be improved if they had a cinch or elastic at the wrist. Although, when my sleeve is covering the wrist area of the glove, it is fine. I recommend these gloves for commuters and hikers in mild cold weather. Any colder than the high 20s, you should buy a ski glove.

although these gloves seem to be warm , they are a little clumsy. I can't drive with them. and they are a little pricey.

I love these gloves. I originally got them for snowmobiling and love that they move so easily, wish the fleece on the inside was a little warmer. But I have found I use these for multiple things and they are perfect.

Have not had a problem with the fingers and the touch screens. Very warm in the cold and windy.

Color is cool,fit normal and warm.

I just bought these gloves for the upcoming winter in WI. They definitely seem warm (though it's only October, so not cold yet). However, they do run small. I ordered a large and they are very tight on my hands. Wish there was an XL available.

These are good when the freezing weather hits. But the fingers leave extra space, hard to use e-tip, so constantly pulling off to use my phone. Not helpful in NY winter, but I kept them for those frigid days & then I just don’t use my phone

I think this is a great product, but living in NYC, the tips of my fingers were frozen around 30-40 degrees. However, I will say that it works pretty well with my iPhone. The fleece inside keeps the rest of my hands pretty warm. My only complaint is the thumbs. Doesn't fit as expected and I have trouble typing with them. It's too long and to be quite honest, I measured the thumbs and they're uneven.
