Customer Reviews The North Face Etip™ Gloves

The search continues for the perfect running gloves. These are the right thickness and the touchscreen feature works well. Ultimately I sent them back because of the seams. I suppose you could go up a size to avoid them poking your fingertips on the inside of the glove, but I wanted my running gloves to have a snug fit.

These are super nice to look at/match everything, and they are easy to wash (a plus for runners), but they are not warm in the least (and I'm totally confused by the people who say they are). I purchased them for winter use (trail running), and my fingers are like icicles within a few minutes. They don't even shield your hands from a cold steering wheel or while you're out walking the dog! I had high hopes for these providing some kind of warmth, and they don't at all. :( Would suggest picking a different style if warmth is what you're after.

Just for outside play with kids

Doesn't keep your fingers very warm. Better for lightly chilly days rather than full on winter weather.

I bought this to go on a hiking trip and it was good. There's no e-tips at the tips so you have to use the pad of fingers so it's hard to take selfies. It didn't keep my fingers warm, I felt wind go through it

I've only worn these gloves a couple weeks driving maybe a half hour round trip a few days a week and already the grips are peeling off. Looks like they were cheap iron-ons or something. Haven't washed them so can't imagine how much will be left if I do. They are comfortable, fit well, and keep my hands warm enough since I wear them running errands, etc. I want a pair of gloves I can not only hold a cell phone with but to safely hold a steering wheel as well, and these won't be the ones.

I like the color and fit but a little disappointed. I feel i does not keep your hand warm at all.

Sooo disappointed in the packaging. Paid extra for gift box and the gloves came in this HUGE oversized box with little wrapping. The box was only a box no gift wrap on it. As I said SOOOO disappointed.

I wanted to buy this glove for myself so I can drive in the morning without freezing. I ordered a large, but the fingers are too short for me. They don't provide XL as an option, so... I can't wear these gloves basically. If I want gloves from The North Face, I have to buy men's gloves which is very unsatisfying. I am unhappy with the limited options this company provides, although the glove seems like it would be nice.

warm and super comortable works work with the phone! Only wonders how it would be in the super cold weather of this winter.. we will wait and see

I love the fit, I have always had problems in the past trying to find gloves that weren't like an oversized tshirt on my fingers. These are perfect for slim fingers! They however, are not great for super cold weather, they do not insulate well. I would say if you are looking for gloves to slide on and off within 5-10 min of wearing them, these are perfect, if you are looking for something to wear for a long period of time, spend your money on another pair of gloves.

These gloves are really nice, great with using a phone in the cold. They do not seem to keep your hands all that warm. On a windy or really cold day, you can feel the cold through them.

I have a small hand and ordered a small but they didn't fit. So I will be returning and getting a medium.

My expectation for this glove was as a glove liner - I did not expect great warmth from them, but functionality, and they do work great with my smart phone. Most etip gloves don't come with great insulation, so I expected to remove my outer glove to use them. I like that there's no glaringly-obvious tip - the touch-ability is built right into the regular fabric. Size runs small as far as the fingers and palm go, but the wrist is large - too large for me. I'll be returning these as I did not notice until I arrived home that the clip that holds the two together was broken - I can't get them apart because of how it broke. Considering these were new on the display card, this shouldn't have happened with a $45 glove. My true recommendation on this glove is "maybe".

These gloves are warm and the e-tip works well but the seams started to come loose after about 5 wears. Not the quality I expected to receive from Northface.

I use these gloves everyday for runs and walking the dogs. After about a month the gloves have started coming apart at the seams. I love the gloves I wish they held up better for the money.

Nice gloves, unfortunately to small. Ordered medium, gloves run small, I have fairly small hands, could not get on my hands. Will exchange.

Fits very small and there isn't much stretch to the material

Too small.

I bought for hiking in winter. My $8 gloves did just as well. Very disappointed!

Runs small and the finger tips don't work so well on my phone

Doesn't keep your hands warm, wind blows right through them.

I live in one of the windest cities in the US (winds are constantly 20mph with gusts up to 50mph), these gloves are warm only on days where the wind isn't blowing super hard. The technology aspect works which is nice but i was really hoping for the price these would work for when it's 30 and below.

I lose circulation in my hands, mainly in my fingertips and I thought these gloves would keep my hands warm. They do not!!! I have to use a "liner" inside this glove, which of course, does not allow me to use my device. I wanted the functionality of using my cell phone or tablet while keeping my hands warm. Also, I do not like all the white writings on the glove, it looks too stylish..I understand the "North Face" logo but the power button logo which does nothing is too much. The plus to this glove is that I can snap the two together so I will not lose one and the actual hand part does not me to grip my phone or tablet with no slipping. However, the glove is not durable at the fingertips; the fabric is snagging. The fabric in which the palm of my hand fits seems to be made well; I can't understand why the fingertips area would be different. I am picking up things and touching things, the fingertip area of the glove is getting more use. I like the glove to a certain degree but it is not really worth what I paid for it. I do not recommend if you are looking for a glove for warmth and to be used outdoors. In the car driving; the glove is ok because you can use the car's heater to stay warm. Since the company offers a lifetime warranty, I will probably look into getting a replacement due to the snagging.

I replaced my merino wool thin gloves with these, Very disappointed they are Not Warm at all. Look good, feel great but in these temperatures they are useless. I could not recommend, except maybe for the fall !!!
