Don't let the warm light fool you; both of the images above were captured during a very chilly November morning. I love to see the Cranes tuck their legs and feet into their feathers to keep warm.
I typically wear loose fitting gloves inside a larger pair of mittens when it's cold, and often have to remove them to check email or text messages on my iPhone 4. I've recently received a couple of review samples of Glider Gloves and thought I would share my experience with you.
Made of insulated, conductive fabric, the gloves preform flawlessly with every touch screen I've tried. They work with phones and iPads, and even my GPS, they work every time. The only problem I have is the fit; the largest pair (L/M size) is simply far too tight to allow blood-flow to my fingers which is vital to keeping them warm (and I assure you that I don't have huge hands). I have been in touch with the producers and they assure me that they will have a larger size and a thicker model available for next winter. I've been promised some samples and will share with you when I receive them.
