guys and one that the my gloves here my gloves get your own keep your hands warm while using your touchcreen or mobile products so here's a scenario you guys have probably encountered if you live in Canada here with me where it's cold and stuff and that is that you're outside and you got your uh hold on just trying to remove this plastic thing here okay you got your winter gloves on they look a little something like this maybe they have like little skeletons on the back or maybe they don't um these particular gloves are actually available in a variety of different styles and you're outside you're like oh it's cold I'm waiting at the bus I got my sleeves down like this and uh your phone rings and you're like oh yeah yeah I'll just answer my phone no problem my phone has buttons oh wait no it doesn't cuz my phone's a smartphone so there are no buttons at all and you're like oh come on please please please this time work please well these gloves actually are pretty cool they're available in three different sizes so there's H here I'll just show you guys what it says on the packaging so there's small which is for 4 to 6 in and that's from the tip of your finger to the bottom of your palm medium which is for 6 to 8 and 1/2 in so I have pretty small hands for an adult and the mediums are the ones that fit me so these are definitely child size and then large is 8 and 1/2 in plus so basically what these do is they have uh silver threads embedded in the middle finger the index finger and the thumb of both hands so you can see the positioning of the thumb is oriented so that while you can't pinch on a page like this you will be able to you know slide and answer your phone you'll be able to use your thumb this way but not this way so what those do is they actually um allow you to use your smartphone or tablet with these gloves now they're not accurate enough that you're going to be texting um you know at the same rate that you would normally text but you can enter your password you can check you know your stock scroll up and down you can go ahead and you can you know check the Vancouver Canucks app and then with a reasonable degree of accuracy you can actually here I have my FTP information on there so I'm just going to make a new note for myself here let's see if we can type I haven't actually tried to type okay hello I am oops Yeah so we're not quite we're not quite there for like typing but it's not really the intention I mean we were talking to the guys who designed the product and the intention was you can at least answer your phone and not take your gloves off but no I mean you can if you're willing to sort of work at it a little bit I'm running late so you could send a basic message without too much difficulty using these so the silver uh uh fingertips are built into the thumb and the first two fingers not these ones most people probably aren't using their phone with their you know ring finger anyway so it doesn't seem to be too much of a factor but um I think that's pretty much it so pricing sort of ranges from like 30 bucks to I think 50 bucks depending on whether you get them without a design or with a design they are 100% wool which okay except for the little bits in the fingertips and they are not machine washable it is suggest that you only hand wash them because they are made of 100% wool and quite honestly I'm going to have to take them off pretty quick here because they are certainly too warm for me to be standing around in my house using them so they work with the iPad as well obviously I mean if they
