AnyGlove Makes Any of Your Gloves Touchscreen-Friendly

It’s starting to get too chilly to use smartphones comfortably when you’re out and about. There are a number of solutions that are available for this problem, like the Hi-Fun gloves that function as Bluetooth handsets and tiny sheets of stickers you’re supposed to stick on existing gloves so your screen can detect your taps and swipes.

And then there’s the AnyGlove. This is basically a liquid alternative for the stickers I mentioned earlier. Just put a couple of drops of AnyGlove onto any finger on your glove, let it dry, and you’re all set.

Hit the break for a video of the official AnyGlove girl (yes, she exists) demonstrating how the product works.

These Seem To Be The Cadillac Of Heated Gloves

By David Ponce on 10/08/12 • Leave a comment!

You know the “brace yourselves” meme? The one with the Game Of Thrones dude? Anyway, we feel like making one saying “Brace yourselves, winter posts are coming!” And we’re yet another blog to contribute to the onslaught, this time with news of some fancy heated gloves. The Chaval Response XRT are not your everyday corner-store heated gloves though, but some fancy $400 mittens with nanotechnology. Their most interesting feature? Self-regulating temperature:

[They contain a] proprietary, paper-thin, nanotech polymer film that automatically regulates its own temperature. As your hands get cold, the film gets denser, increasing its electrical conductivity. This change pulls power from a battery to deliver heat to the film and the hands. As your hands get warm, the heat reduces the film’s conductivity which reduces power draw.

This continuous temperature management also means that energy is conserved and the batteries end up lasting longer, maybe even all day. Charging them doesn’t require removing the batteries, but is instead accomplished by just plugging them in to the charger, pictured.

It’s not quite $400, but $390 on pre-order right now, with expected shipping on October 20th.

Bluetooth Gloves Reach Pinnacle Of Ridiculous

By David Ponce on 10/01/12 • Leave a comment!

So it finally happened. The product above is being made, being sold, is real. We’re sad because it doesn’t look like it’s some kind of joke. These are actual gloves that connect to your phone through Bluetooth and that have microphones sewn into the fingertips so that you may talk while, you know, looking like a giant tool. The tips of the fingers are even capacitive to allow smartphone operation whilst your hands remain toasty. Battery operated, the Hi-Call gloves, as they’re called, will standby for 24 hours and last for 20 hours while conversing.

€50 buys you the privilege of being the laughing stock of the slopes, and you can pre-order them now from Hi-Fun. If you thought Bluetooth earpieces were bad, this… this just kicked things up a notch.

Hi-Fun Gloves are the World’s Silliest Bluetooth Handsets in Existence

By Hazel Chua on 09/07/12 • 2 Comments

Hi-Fun

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Bluetooth headset, then move along because you won’t find one here. The Hi-Fun Gloves are Bluetooth-enabled themselves, but they aren’t exactly hands-free for the reason that you’re supposed to wear them on your hands and make the ‘call me’ gesture while you’re using it.

It basically has a speaker sown into the thumb and a microphone built into the pinky finger of the glove. Just push the appropriate buttons on the back of the glove to hook it up with your phone and begin taking calls in the weirdest way possible. These literal ‘handsets’ will be available for about $60 starting this October. While it’s novel and will definitely keep your digits warm and toasty during winter, I’m just not sold on the idea. What do you think?

Yeah, it’s kind of like a gag, but what the heck. These are fingerless gloves made to look like a guy’s underpants. They’re made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, allegedly giving them the same look and feel as regular briefs. And yes, they’re actually for sale, at $12 for a pair.

If you have the kind of sense of humor that can appreciate something like this, hit the jump for a cringe-worthy infomercial as well as a purchase link.
