The North Face Etip Gloves

Etip Gloves
March 24, 2012

Wore my new Etip Gloves for the second time. The first time I wore them, my hands/fingers were frozen at then end of 5 miles but functioned as designed. So, for this mornings 5, I wore a liner beneath the Etips and it was awesome. They are compact enough to permit complete control while navigating my iPhone/iPod and with the liner, my fingers/hands maintained feeling!

Function as designed but silly fingertip icon

The fit well on my husband and worked great with is smartphone, but the "power on" icon on the end of the fingertips looks a bit silly. As a result, he doesn't wear them as much as I would have expected given his smartphone usage.

Annoying seams
January 09, 2012

I own a dozen pairs of gloves, and I was excited to try out the e-Tip for use with my smartphone. First off, I have short stubby fingers and wear 'cadet' gloves when golfing. However, MEDIUM size gloves tend to fit me well, as most non-shell synthetic gloves have some stretch to them. This set of gloves is snug on my fingers with a little stretch. The most annoying feature is that the inside stitched seams are very prominent and rub against my fingers. This was noticed immediately upon trying them on. After two minutes, they were very annoying. Maybe this is made worse by my fat fingers, but I've not encountered this level of annoyance on any other polyester stretch glove. The gloves I received were defective so I sent them back to Altrec. I would have sent them back anyway because the seams are so irritating. I'll stick to OR gloves. Sorry TNF. Comfort is more important than the e-Tip.

Great gloves

Just as the other reviews said, they do run a little small. Otherwise I love them. I would recommend ordering a size up from what you would normally wear, if tight gloves bother you.

Perfect Christmas gift!

I ordered several pairs of etip gloves this year for Christmas presents. I know that my family will love them and I am soooo excited because it will be the one present they will use everyday. I am sure there will be no returns with these great gloves!

Great gift

With all the electronic touch-screen devices, this keep your hands warm while you use your phone or tablet etc. They do seem to run a little small, so I would order a size higher than you normally would.

Awesome running gloves

The North Face Etip Gloves

These gloves are great i bought one for my girlfriend and me... Now my sister also wants one. Great for iphone itouch andriod or any other devices that uses the touch screen technology. It also works with the laptop mouse/track pad. Cons: The glove only works if your wearing it. There is a sliver-ish piece of cloth that you need to be touching for it to work. I don't know if i just got a big size or i have fat fingers but whenever i put it on i always have to push in the finger part. The cost is also a bad part too. This is the most expensive glove i have ever bought. I don't know if it is waterproof. All in all I still like these gloves.

Good iPhone Gloves
November 11, 2010

If you're looking for a good pair of chilly weather gloves that will work with an iPhone, these are one of the best out there with a reasonable price. I have been looking for a while, but I didn't want to pay an arm or a leg for iPhone compatible cold weather gloves. Like all North Face products, they don't look trendy, but they are very functional, durable, and practical. I didn't realize that the gripper palm worked so well. You would have to intentionally do something to make my phone go flying from my hands. The Etips and grips are on both gloves which, for some reason, I thought it would be only on one. I'm glad I was wrong there. Texting, calling, emailing, using my apps - no problems there, but just gotta remember that the Etips are only on the index fingers and thumbs. I can't wait to hit the slopes and use these as liners for my snow gloves. No more exposing my hands to the elements anymore to use my phone.
