I Tried The Fleece Gloves That Reviewers Call The Warmest Ever

Whether they’re itchy, bulky, not warm enough or get too wet, a bad pair of gloves can be worse than not having gloves at all. So when I saw that this fleece, water-resistant touchscreen-compatible option was a hit with HuffPost readers for Cyber Week, I figured they must be good — and decided to test them out for myself.

Our suspicions were confirmed. Not only are these women’s gloves celebrated for their wearability and fit, but wearers call them the most comfortable, coziest and warmest gloves they’ve ever worn, which I can vouch for. According to our price trackers, they generally range from $25-$30, depending on the color, though currently the black, light pink, red, ivory and “snow leopard” print will give you the best deal. These are a perfect winter find at such a good price.

I’ve worn these gloves walking around New York City in temperatures as low as 0 degrees, and they were able to keep my hands dry and warm. The gloves are thicker and warmer than other touchscreen gloves I’ve tried out in the past, which often sacrifice either warmth or touchscreen sensitivity for one another.

I’m not alone, either. Loved by wearers with neuropathy in their hands, reviewers in their 90s with poor circulation and people who live in “sub zero temps,” with “an icy cold steering wheel,” these gloves are “ridiculously warm” — like, the warmest gloves people have ever used. One user shared that this option kept their hands more toasty than more expensive versions from L.L. Bean and North Face, with many saying they’re “much better than all my other gloves,” and the warmest gloves ever.

The fleece exterior is specially treated to repel water, rain, snow and sleet, keeping your fingers dry. The plush inner lining retains warmth, keeping your hands toasty and comfortable. One user reports not even noticing they had touched snow on their car because the gloves are so weather-repellent, while others compliment the stretch and fit. Several also mention that the gloves are wind–resistant, ideal for winter travel and daily commuting.

″…I’ve found that as I age, I’m pickier about comfort and practicality,” one wrote. “These gloves are so soft and stretchy, making them feel like a second skin.”

“They fit perfectly without being too tight or too loose, which is rare for a one-size-fits-all style. The fleece lining is like wrapping my hands in a warm hug without being too bulky.” I’m inclined to agree — the elastic in the wrist helps prevent cold air from sneaking in when I wear these.

Easy to put on and even easier to wear, the gloves feature a palm patch for traction, whether you’re driving or drinking a cup of tea from a thermos. This patch has served me well holding onto the poles in subway cars and pulling on near-frozen door handles. Wearers say that while being warm, they’re thin enough to “not hinder hand movement,” and let you grip railings for safety while walking.

The touchscreen-ready tech in the thumb and pointer finger let you use your phone, car touch screen or camera with ease, ensuring your hands stay warm while you’re on the go. ”…I can respond to texts, check emails, and scroll through Instagram while walking to the car without having to take the gloves off!” another happy user wrote. “That’s a game-changer for me.” “With the touchscreen ability I don’t have to take them off,” reviewer Victoria_K added.

The touchscreen capabilities take a little getting used to at first, because the tech works best when you press with your fingertip, which can be a little tricky if the gloves are a little bulky on your hands. That said, like other reviewers, I’ve been able to answer phone calls, play and pause music, scroll and more without taking the gloves off, and it’s gotten much easier to use the longer I’ve had them. Typing things takes a little more trial and error because of how narrow the keyboard keys are on my iPhone. I wouldn’t necessarily type out whole paragraphs with these gloves on, but I can still send quick texts, like letting a friend know I’m on my way.

Many reviewers gave these gloves as gifts, and report very positive reception. Whether shopping for yourself or a loved one, you have many colors and patterns to choose from, ranging from neutrals to vibrant hues and even two animal patterns. (Drooling for this white leopard.) As they’re one-size-fits-all and machine-washable, they’re universal and easy to care for. And the classic shape makes them easy to style, whether you’re running errands in sweats or dressing up for a night out. “These gloves go with everything from casual jackets to my more polished outerwear,” reviewer Bug Lady said. “Plus, they have a subtle, modern design that doesn’t scream ‘mom’—so I still feel trendy and chic.”

“I have small hands and these gloves fit me perfectly! I have neuropathy in my hands which make my hands feel cold a lot of the time. These gloves kept my hands warm in 25-30 degree weather! They are also the softest gloves I’ve ever worn! I bought several other pairs of gloves this past winter looking for the warmest pair I could find. I bought gloves from LL Bean and the North Face companies that did not keep my hands warm. I can not recommend these gloves more highly! They also look great!” — Amy Fischman

“These are the most comfortable and warmest gloves I think I’ve ever had!! If I could, I would buy a pair in each available color! They are warm without being too thick and are easy to wear when using your hands (driving, using phone, handling and gripping items). I highly recommend these Isotoner gloves!” — Faithful Customer

“I can only say one word: amazing! They are snuggly, warm and attractive. They also make great gifts as they can accommodate pretty much any hand size.” — Ines Reynal
