With more and more people adopting touch screen phones, Glider Gloves keep your hands warm while still allowing you to use your iphone, Android, Blackbery or any other touchscreen device. Here are just a few scenarios in which Glider Gloves would be a serious asset:
Waiting for a Ride
Whether you’re waiting for your carpool or the light rail, Glider Gloves are a great idea. You can catch up on your email, browse the Internet, or check your favorite blogs while you wait for your ride—and best of all is the fact that you can do so while your hands stay toasty warm. Because Glider Gloves are conductive, you’ll never have to remove them to scroll through your phone.
Participating in Winter Sports
Are you on a ski slope, next to an ice rink, or out on a frozen field? Glider Gloves can help keep you connected and entertained while participating in winter sports. You can check the weather while you’re out on the slopes, take a phone call while walking out in the cold, or check your email if you’ve been side-lined during an outdoor game. You’ll never have to take off your gloves, and you’ll never have to go off the grid.
Going for a Walk
Even the most inveterate city-dwellers among us occasionally have to go for a walk. You may have to get from the subway to your workplace every morning, walk to your favorite deli every day at lunch, or take your dog for a walk—or all three. Glider Gloves are useful for whenever you’re running outdoor errands, because you’ll be able to answer your phone without doing the awkward dance of taking off a glove as you’re trying to keep pace with other pedestrians. Glider Gloves are especially great while you’re walking your dog during the winter months, since keeping your gloves on while answering the phone gives your dog less of a chance to bolt while you’re distracted.
If you’re interested in getting a pair of Glider Gloves, then you should call (416) 371-1142 today. Glider Gloves are made using capacitive technology and are perfect for use during the winter. If you’d like to keep using your touch screen phone with ease during the winter months, then you should check out our website for more information.

Skiing is a great sport, but until very recently, it was one that took you off the grid whenever you hit the slopes. With the advent of more advanced cellular phone technology and the invention of Glider Gloves, however, that’s no longer a problem. Here are the ways that Glider Gloves can help you stay connected while on the ski slopes:
Stay Warm while Staying in Touch
During the winter, it’s not uncommon to see people whip off their gloves in order to use their touch screen phones. This behavior may make their hands cold to the point of pain—and that’s nothing to sniff at—but in general, these people are waiting for subways or buses, which will be warm and will take them to other warm places. If you take off your gloves to use a touch screen phone on the ski slopes, however, then you’re not going to be getting out of the cold any time soon. Instead, you’ll probably be taking your gloves off several more times during the day’s skiing—which may or may not put you at risk for frostbite, but will definitely make skiing less enjoyable because your hands will be freezing. With Glider Gloves, your gloves will stay on even when your phone turns on. You’ll be able to enjoy skiing more because your hands will be more comfortable.
Keep up with the Latest Events
Skiing is a sport in which knowing what the weather is going to be like is of vital, life-or-death importance. With a touch screen phone, you will have access to the Internet even when you’re on the slopes—meaning that you’ll be able to easily access the changing weather forecast so that nothing sneaks up on you. Wearing Glider Gloves means that you’ll be able to navigate your phone while keeping your hands out of the cold; you’ll also be more likely to check the weather forecast on a regular basis if you don’t have to fear a freezing blast every time you open up an app.
Wearing Glider Gloves on the slope just makes sense. Glider Gloves are conductive gloves based on capacitive technology that make using your touch screen phone a breeze. Whether you use an iPhone or any other touch screen phone, wearing Glider Gloves during the winter is a great idea. For more information, call (416) 371-1142 today.
