Winter is coming, and that means that using your phone outside is uncomfortable and makes for frigid digits. That is unless you have some excellent touchscreen gloves that let you use your phone with toasty phalanges. Whether you want a classy pair of leather gloves or a budget-friendly wooly pair, these are the best touchscreen gloves for winter.
Dual-layered
These dual-layer gloves are a bit thicker for colder climes. The added layer of wool helps you stay warm while using your phone. Silicone grips all over the palms of these gloves and make sure your phone doesn't slip out of your hands in slippery weather. You can use any fingertip, knuckle, and even the palm or heel of your hand to touch your phone.
Warm 'n' woolly
These wool-lined knitted gloves have that quintessential winter look, and they're available in four colors. The index fingers, middle fingers, and thumbs are conductive for using your phone. They also have non-slip material woven into the palm. The extended cuff helps keep your wrists warm and snow out of your sleeves.
Affordable and flexible
These acrylic gloves have ten-finger functionality, meaning you can use any finger to use your phone while keeping warm. These aren't the thickest gloves around and probably won't do the trick when temps drop below zero but should do for the early Winter or in milder places.
Leather luxury
These stylish leather driving gloves have options to be lined with cashmere or fleece. They're available in several colors, many of which are accented by an elegant stripe around the wrist. They're a more formal design than many of the other gloves in this collection and also come in women's sizes.
True winter brand
These are a little on the bulky side for touchscreen gloves, so movement is somewhat tricky, but they work exceptionally well, even in colder weather. They come in men's and women's sizes and styles, so there's one for everybody. The gripper palms also help you not drop your phone in wintery weather.
Best value
Moshi's gloves are thick and woolly, making them perfect for places with intense winter weather. Digits work well while also keeping your hands toasty. And their raised rubber lines and dots provide a good grip so you can use your phone one-handed.
Beanie bundle
These anti-slip gloves come with a matching beanie. The gloves have faux suede on the palms to prevent your phone from slipping, and the beanie has a hole for a high ponytail. The set is available in a wide range of colors to match your style.
Thinnest pick
If you live somewhere where Winter isn't too cold, then the thinner GliderGloves may be your best option. There are four colors to choose from, and the entire glove is woven with copper, so you can use any finger to control your phone. There's also anti-slip material sewn into the palms so that you can keep a solid grip on your phone at all times.
Formal fasion
These fashionable gloves feature three buttons on the cuff and an elegant design. Despite their thin look, they are windproof and warm enough for relatively cold weather. They're available in a variety of colors to match your style.

If you're going to be texting outside in the Winter, then you might as well keep your fingers warm in the process. Unfortunately, many gloves aren't designed with smartphones in mind.
