You can wear gloves and text. Yes, you can.

Last week I talked on the blog about my soccer mum winter sideline uniform. It gets VERY cold on winter mornings in some parts of Australia and a few mums raised the question about how to keep their hands warm while still having full functionality over their mobile devices.

Don’t laugh. If we’re going to consider fashion and functionality in the way we dress, then in 2012 we need to be able to stay warm and still check Twitter.

Should my husband be reading this, he would point out that my attention should be fully on the game not on my phone or iPad but hey, I’m a woman … multi-tasking is my middle name.

Anyhoo, in my email inbox today landed info about these gems … seemingly the perfect solution to a modern day technological/fashiony problem.

    I had fingerless gloves but my fingertips still got cold. I now use a stylus for my pod/pad and it works even better as you hit the letters with more precision.

    Excellent idea – my daughter was looking for something to wear when using her camera outdoors in winter! (she is a photography student). Will be looking into these for her! thanks Nikki!

    OOh a very good idea and handy for other things as well like,applying lippy and pulling out a credit card from our wallet to pay for the groceries of course :) that’s why I don’t like gloves ,I have to keep taking the right one off to do something and Yes I got into trouble at the game last week for shock horror talking ,we can watch and talk at the same time….
