North Face E-Tip Gloves
The basics
Numb fingers are no fun on the slopes, but neither is having to whisk off your gloves every time you want to make a call or use your iPod Touch.
Step forward the E-Tips. The special finger and thumb pads let you have full control of your MP3 player's clickwheel, while the special tips mean that your iPhone's screen will play nice with them.

Does anyone know a reputable online dealer to buy these from? And do they really work as they say? I am a bit sceptical...

they would be so handy, are they only available online?

These could be really useful, but they look like more of an under glove than a main glove! any one used them and find them warm enough, or if they keep the snow out if you take a tumble?

What a dissapointment :( after watching the gadget show last week, these gloves were described as keeping your hands warm in the cold conditions and seemed to offer a solution to a very irritating problem of not being able to use your phone or any touch screen for that matter with gloves on, so I imagine, just like anyone into their gadgets and about to go on a snowboarding holiday I powered up the laptop and ordered a pair online straight away. Unfortunately in realty the functionality and practicality do not both come together in perfect harmony to provide the intended solution of these gloves, don't get me wrong here, the e tip main selling point is the practicality of using your phone without removing a glove, this I can not fault and is awesome when using your iPhone, easy to use and it is as if you are not even wearing gloves at all!, where this product falls down is that when on top of a mountain trying to keep your hands warm it is again as if you are not even wearing gloves at all! but this time not in a good way! I just spent 3 days snowboarding and after several hours in the snow had to purchase an alternative pair of gloves from a local store as I felt that my fingers may fall off any moment due to the cold conditions! Sadly another dissapointment for me is that the gloves are not very tough or durable, within the few hours I wore them and the 2 or 3 times I fell over snow boarding (yes I am still learning, haha) one of the fingers had split on the seam and I doubt very much that they would have lasted the weekend. Functionality when using a touch screen 9/10 Effectivness at keeping your hands warm 2/10 Durability/Toughness 2/10 I would give this a G Rating of 1 at most, although the functionlality is there, there is little point in creating a glove to be used in cold conditions if it does not actually keep your hands warm. I am incredibly surprised with the review on Gadget show by Ortis Deley, in my opinion theses gloves are really only good for......hmmm...what are they good for?...slightly mild days? or people that just like wearing gloves for no apparent reason? oh or people that are really worried of catching/spreading germs from the touch screen, yes thats it, perfect!

These gloves are so hard to come by, everyone seems to be out of stock! I bought a pair last weekend from a seller on Ebay and I must say they are fantastic!! I have been snowboarding with them on today using my Ipod and they are awesome!! I will never go back to normal gloves again!! Get some!!! ;)

Saw these on the show and undertsood the problem straight away. Great for being able to use my iPhone and look pretty good too. Got mine from Cotswolds outdoor shop where they were £22. They aren't the warmest gloves but they do the job and its still warming than pulling your hand out of your gloves completely and fumbling around with your phone/mp3 player.
