8 Best Touchscreen Gloves (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Touchscreen Gloves We Tested

Some of the touchscreen gloves we tried fell short of a recommendation for one reason or another.

Marks and Spencer Knitted Gloves for $18 or £10: A gift from my in-laws, these knitted gloves from reliable UK retailer Marks and Spencer are pretty good. They keep your hands cozy but also have special touchscreen pads on the index finger and thumb tips. I can swipe, tap, and type reasonably well with these gloves on.

Graphene-X All Rounder Bio-X Gloves for $119: With a classy look, high-tech graphene material on the back, and plant-based bio leather on the palm and fingers, these gloves are certainly unique. They’re comfy too, but they completely failed to keep my hands warm. The touchscreen material works and I had no trouble tapping and swiping, but the joins and squared-off shape on the fingertips made it almost impossible to type accurately.

Trendoux Winter Gloves for $15: These affordable gloves have tips on the index fingers and thumbs that work with touchscreens, but the seams on the inside make them tricky to type with and a little uncomfortable. They are slim, so not especially warm, but the finish is smooth and water-resistant, with rubbery antislip dots on the palm and other fingers. I like the clip for snapping them together when you take them off.

Sealskinz Waterproof Cold Weather Gloves for $110: These gloves are fairly warm, combining goatskin leather with a middle layer and merino wool on the inside. The touchscreen capability is limited to your index finger and thumb, but I found it tough to type with my index finger because of where the join is, and it’s impossible to type speedily and accurately. The grip is quite good, there’s a Velcro strap to tighten at the wrist for a snug fit, and you can clip the gloves together. But they’re restrictive, too pricey, and not entirely waterproof, despite the name.

Try These Instead

Maybe you already have non-touchscreen gloves you love or you simply don’t fancy any of our picks. There are a couple of alternatives worth considering:

A Stylus: It may seem old school, but a stylus allows you to use your phone accurately without taking your gloves off and will work with any smartphone or gloves. The Bargains Depot B&D Universal Capacitive Stylus ($12) worked well in our testing.

A Handwarmer: If you brave the cold gloveless or use one of our thinner picks above, you might want to have a rechargeable handwarmer waiting in your pocket. My favorite is the VQ Rechargeable 10,000-mAh Power Bank Hand Warmer (£20), but it’s only available in the UK. Folks in the States can find a ton of similar options on Amazon.
