Mujjo’s touchscreen gloves are winter-ready and smartphone-ready

Now that winter’s upon us, it’s time to bust out the woolens. The cap, the hoodie, the galoshes, bomber jackets, scarves, and gloves. Winter is perhaps my favorite time of the year. I hate the cold, but I love the warm fuzzy feeling that you get from trapping body warmth between a thick blanket, or sipping on a piping hot chai. However, there’s one issue that seems to counter my love for winter. It’s the issue of the glove. I wear gloves because it’s cold… and then I promptly take them off every time I need to use my smartphone. It’s counter-productive, and honestly a drag… which is why I bought a stylus, but that’s equally painful to remember to carry… plus, I can’t pinch to zoom with a stylus. I can, however, with touchscreen-ready gloves.

Mujjo’s Thinsulate gloves are like a second skin around your palm and fingers. It protects you from the cold, with its 3M Thinsulate insulating layer that traps body heat, but more importantly, it comes with a thermally conductive surface on its outside that lets you use the touchscreen on your smartphone. Book cabs, answer calls, take pictures, browse the web, type messages, just basically use your phone the way you would with the gloves on. The thermal surface runs across all fingers, so you can use the phone with your left hand and right, making use of all your fingers to run apps, contact people, or just play PUBG (or whatever it is you people play nowadays). The gloves work with all smartphones, and bonus feature, they come with non-slip properties, so you don’t accidentally drop your phone!

Faux Paws: Bear Gloves for Your Bare Hands

Posted on by

Yeah, I know Spring is just around the corner, so why the heck am I talking about thick, furry gloves? Well, like they say on Game of Thrones, “Winter is coming.” It’s true. It is… someday. So why not be prepared for the cold that’s bound to arrive eventually, and pick up some of these awesome – er, pawsome, Faux Paws.

You get a pack of two faux fur gloves which look a whole lot like bear paws. I know they do because I saw The Revenant. Of course, these ones don’t have claws on them, so you’re not going to end up ripping the flesh from anyone’s scalp with these on.

According to their maker, Toddland, they were tested on “real fake bears,” so you know they’re good. You can get your grubby little mitts on a pair of these bear hands for $28 now. They’re bound to go up the closer we get to wintertime, so grab a pair now.

TAPS Stickers Give Your Gloves a Fingerprint

Posted on by

Back in late Summer, I moved from Texas to Colorado and left the heat behind. It hasn’t snowed yet in my part of Colorado, but being a tropical people from Texas I’m not really equipped for the cold. In Texas if it got down into the low 30s by January, we were bundled up like it was a blizzard and you couldn’t buy bread or bottled water for three counties. It’s already been below freezing a couple times in Colorado, and while I am bundled up in a puffy down coat, these people are in cargo shorts and flip-flops.

If you call me on a cold morning and I have gloves on, I will not take my off gloves to work my phone to talk to you. I’m not sure I could even grip the phone in these Arctic expedition gloves I bought. I could get these TAPS stickers though and stick them to the tip of one of my fingers and work my touchscreen. The downside is that I might actually have to talk to people though. These stickers adhere to your glove fingertips and will let you use a touchscreen with any gloves.

Unlike other conductive glove fingertips, TAPS stickers even have their own fingerprint so you can use TouchID while wearing them. That will probably give the IT guy at work apoplectic fits, but the company swears each set of four stickers has its own fingerprint. Apparently you can register the TAPS fingerprints just as you would your fingers, which is great until you leave your gloves behind somewhere.

TAPS stickers are raising production funds on Kickstarter now. A set of four TAPS stickers will cost you around $8(USD) and are expected to start shipping in December 2016, so you could possibly have them in time for the coldest months of the year.
