Winter brings many challenges, among those would be the daily fight you have with your iPod trying to use that little click wheel with your big fuzzy mittens. Well somebody felt your pain and has a solution: the (Large) Tavo Gloves. These ingenious gloves do double duty keeping your hands warm when you're out and about and giving you the ability to control your iPod without freezing your fingers.

And the fleece texture ensures a comfortable fit. Use these gloves for driving, running and outdoor sports too. They also work great as glove liners.

I use these with my iPhone and they work pretty well. They are warm and wind-resistant enough for Chicago winters, but in order to be that way they are a heavy dense fleece, making them not totally maneuverable. In order to operate the iPhone I need to hold with one hand and use my index finger on the other hand (like in the picture I'm looking at on this page right now). I can't hold in one hand and use the thumb on the same hand to operate, as I would be able to sans gloves. The fabric on the finger tips works surprisingly well on the touchscreen.

I would have like the gloves to be more fitted to hands. Seems a bit wide/large.

Seldom have I found a gift that was as needed and well accepted as these gloves.My guys are face book, twitter, and email junkies and now they can continue to do so regardless of the weather.The product is as good as was stated, they will give each of my guys a few more minutes to finish a thought, then send it. They do what they said they would and they do it well.

I don't remember a screen prompting me to select the size of the gloves, so unfortunately I have to go through the hassle of returning the Large gloves that were sent in order to get a smaller size. Other than the size issue, the gloves are great.

These gloves were a gift and I think they are great. I live in NYC and walk to work- so having a glove that I can still use my phone and keep my hand protected is very important. They fit well and are very comfortable. I highly recommend them.

My husband loves these. They work well with the iPhone. He is able to text with the gloves on. They are very nice gloves even if you are not using any touch devices.

They work well enough. However, it is very touchy and sometimes requires some finagling to do what you want. Still better then removing your gloves just to answer a call.

Comments about Tavo Gloves for the iPod and iPhone (Large):
I have had these for about 2 months now. These gloves were a well timed gift. I had just bought an iPhone and realized that my normal gloves werent sensed by the screen. I use the iPhone, a lot, everyday and outside while walking to and from public transport, waiting, etc. The gloves' fleece like material is very comfortable and insulates ok. They don't keep my hands warm if it gets around freezing temps. I suppose one could add a thin liner glove to insulate more. I like the simple black style that can be worn with different jackets. I also like the grip palm material that helps hold the iPhone, which would otherwise slip off the fleece.
They work well in terms of touch sensitivity with the screen. That doesnt mean they work exactly like your fingers, but pretty well.
The biggest thing I dislike about them is when trying to shrink or expand the screen by using two fingers. The placement of the "special sensing material" is on the pad of the forefinger and thumb. Perhaps I am physiologically abnormal, but when I bring my thumb together with my forefinger, the pads touch. That means that the pads cant also be touching the screen at the same time. So I have to awkwardly twist my hand or thumb to try and get the side of the special material on my thumb to make contact with the screen. In a future model, they should also place the special material along the outside edge of the thumb also to solve this issue. The other minor issue is that the special material seems to be balling up slightly from normal use. I havent noticed this affecting sensitivity performance yet, but I am worried it might in the future should it continue.

Comments about Tavo Gloves for the iPod and iPhone (Large):
These gloves work like a charm. The thumb and forefinger have touch sensitive material on them that makes using an iPhone or iPod touch easy. The palm grip surface works great, so you won't drop your device. The only drawback I have is that my hands are pretty big and the largest size here is a little tight. These work great as a liner for warmer gloves too, or suffice by themselves if the temperature isn't too low.

I got them for my bf's birthday. He's very addicted to his iPhone and we are in Boston. I was quite happy that I got him this specially designed pair of gloves. He loves them! They are very well-made and easy for iPhone users to access the touch screen without freezing their fingers off in the cold weather here. They are not extremely warm but warm enough for you to hold your phone outside for several minutes.

The one thing I really couldn't stand about the iPhone was I would miss phone calls while taking off my gloves. These keep your hands warm and are really practical. These gloves in particular have silicone spots on the hands to make them extra "grippy". Fantastic product.

I bought 2 pairs as gifts for my brother and husband and both thought it was such an awesome product. Works great, the price was right [...] I would recommend these gloves to any iPhone or iPod user who is tired of always taking your gloves off to answer your phone or change a song. Overall great product!
