action sports
In the wet-cold time of the year, you need special equipment for doing outdoor sports. IBS gives a brief outline on the best smartphone gloves for every purpose.
The common Problem
The wet and cold time of the year is coming. As sports enthusiasts we don’t want to give up outdoor sports, even though the weather is changeable. But the right equipment is crucial for this. Nobody wants to freeze. Especially our hands suffer from cool temperatures. Thus, most outdoor athletes are wearing gloves at this time of the year.
But there is one issue left to be solved. You want to select the right music and track your activity – what is done on the smartphone nowadays. It is usually impossible to use the mobilephone with gloves, unless you have some with an integrated touch function. And here you are spoiled for choice.
Different colors, material and price categories. There are various options. We give a brief outline of the best models for every purpose.
Duty Stroke
If you only want to use your gloves for getting to work in a sporty way, you should take a model out of chic leather. In contrast to regular touchscreen gloves, which are getting their conductivity via silver threads, they have a specific nanocoating. Through this coating the whole surface of the gloves gets conductive. Thus, it is extremely easy to use them. The material is extremely water-resistant. Just in case of heavy rain, moisture might come into the gloves through the seams. The inside material is made from fleece and keeps you warm. As leather is not breathable, these gloves are not suited for excessive sport sessions. But they fit perfectly for checking your mails on your bike whilst waiting on a red traffic light or for using maps to find your way to the next business meeting.
The inner material of this model is cashmere – so warm and soft. (Price: currently just 25,99€)
Outdoor Fitness
If you want to get the perfect Allrounder for real outdoor sports, you should have a look on softshell gloves. They are characterized by the fact that they keep away moisture from the outside. But at the same time, they are breathable and transport sweat to the outside. Often they have an anti-slip coat made out of silicone, what is extremely useful. It does not just prevent you from getting a “spider-app” on your mobile phone. Rather it is extremely useful for specific sports such as mountain biking or ball games. Of course you can also use them for running or hiking. However they are not suited for minus temperatures or heavy rain. The price of the gloves is dependent on the number of fingers, which are equipped with silver threads, what you can also see here in here in different options.
For Skiing and freezing Cold
When you are skiing or doing sports at minus temperatures, using your phone won’t be your first priority. Optimal protection against cold and water resistance are comparatively more important here. However, sometimes you will need to use your phone, for example for telling your friends, that you are already on your way to the hut. This is nearly impossible without gloves due to the low temperatures. Here the glove from Under Amour made out of Polyester and Spandex tie in. They are very slim and tight and can be worn on their own or in combination with heavy skiing gloves, if temperature is too low. Thanks to the special UA Storm coating, these gloves are protected against rain and snow. Nevertheless, they are breathable, and transport sweat away from your body.
Price: 25€
Statement
You do not have to spend a lot of money on the perfect smartphone gloves. However, you should think carefully about the purpose, for which you want to use them and you should pay special attention to the material and its processing.
