Echo Touch Gloves are fashionably nerdy! These aren’t your ordinary gloves — they are engineered specifically to keep your hands warm while you use touch sensitive digital devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone/Android touch phone, and what have you)! The index finger and thumb of each glove has special “eLink” fabric that interacts with these devices, so you don’t have to take your gloves off anymore to use them.

To show you these really work, the picture on the left shows me pressing the “m” on the virtual keypad on my Motorola Droid X phone. I used my thumb to press it, and as you can see the “m” lit up since the touch was recognized. The picture on the right shows a similar result you would get using ordinary gloves with your touch sensitive device. I used my pinky/little finger (since the special fabric is only on the index finger and thumb) to try to press “g”, but the phone doesn’t do anything.

I absolutely love these gloves! I was initially just looking for a pair of cute gloves, and then I came across these because of the ruffle design. Then I realized that these gloves have a greater purpose than just keeping me fashionably warm. Now I can keep warm while I keep in touch! These gloves are made by Echo Design, and they come in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes. I got mine in the Ruffled style in taupe for $30.00.
