Agloves ® Original Touchscreen Gloves

I recently bought these amazing touch screen gloves called Agloves® from Amazon for $14.99 (suggested retail price is $24.99) and couldn't wait to share this great find.


Winters in New York can be pretty harsh, and this winter has been no exception with below freezing temps on most days. Ever tried taking out your hands to use the phone in freezing temperatures with 20mph winds? Ugh!

I have tried a few touch screen gloves and the conductivity is typically limited to just the tip of the index finger and thumb. Given my small hands, the finger tips of the gloves also usually extend beyond my finger and folds over. After a few frustrating attempts, I found I would just take the darn glove off and use the cell phone with my bare hands. Which of course defeats the whole purpose of having conductivity gloves.

Here is Amazon's Product Description:
"You can text with these gloves on! Agloves are lightweight, soft, warm, stretchy and slightly fuzzy knitted gloves. Made in the USA, these seamless, knitted gloves have high quality workmanship. Agloves are compatible with any and all of your touch screen phones, cameras, multimedia devices, game systems, and eReaders. Three unisex sizes fits all S/M, M/L and XL. quality workmanship. Agloves are compatible with any and all of your touch screen phones, cameras, multimedia devices, game systems, and eReaders. Three unisex sizes fits all S/M, M/L and XL. Color is black with silver flecks to produce a charcoal grey coloring."

Agloves are not by any means very warm, but they're decent. The conductivity thread is also more on the gold/light brown side, not silver. But from a distance the flecks does give the glove a charcoal grey illusion.  I bought the Agloves in S/M.


The original gloves has a small Aglove tag sewn into the wrist, but I removed it.  


Also following the instructions, I hand washed the gloves and laid them flat to dry.  After wearing these for about 2 weeks, there is a little bit of fuzz but nothing out of the ordinary.

Overall, I really recommend these gloves if you're looking for winter conductivity gloves that allow you to use your touch screen devices.  Now if only they came in other colors too...
