Etre Touchy gloves give gadgets the finger

Like the Freehands that came before them, the Etre Touchy gloves lack a thumb and index finger so gadget owners can keep their hands warm while more easily touching, tapping, and pinching their devices' controls and touch screens. Are we seeing a style trend? To quote the inimitable fashion maven Tim Gunn, "This worries me."
Hobo-esque though they are, however, the gray and turquoise gloves are actually pretty cute. And they present a nice solution for operating mobile phones, portable games systems, music players, and other electronic devices in cold weather.
The gloves sell online for about $23.50. Carry on!
