Reply to comment by eng33 in Winter gloves that keep fingers warm but allow use of cell phone by eng33

I use the kind that are like a fingerless glove with a mitten top that flips over.

The mitten top has conductive material on the index finger & thumb area, so you can use it without taking the mitten part off. But you can also just poke your index finger out, which is what I do.

I've worn them in some very cold places - Iceland in November, Amsterdam in February, Boston in January - and stayed warm.

Honestly, I cut the tags off. I've had them for ages - I think from REI or Eddie Bauer?

I can confirm they work well, I’ve used them through several Canadian winters and they’re quite warm. The tricky part is that cheaper ones can start to unravel along where the flap attaches to the rest of the glove. So probably worth buying from a good brand.

I just bought some from Eddie Bauer that seem to be pretty good quality.
