Hey all,

Figured I'd post up this since anyone reading this blog is most likely using some tech gadgets of some kind.  It's also winter pretty much everywhere in the US, so gloves might become a necessity for many.

I snagged a pair of gadget friendly gloves this weekend and they rock!  A fairly decent portion of my commute often involves waiting on a cold and windy platform for a train to show up.  It's been anywhere from 8 - 30 degrees here recently and that's plenty cold enough to chill my little fingers into uselessness.  What's the solution?  Gloves and pockets, of course.  Unfortunately, that makes handling any kind of gadgetry somewhat awkward.  What's the solution to that?  Gloves that can have exposed fingers!  These REI Thermo Glove/Mittens go one better...  fully covered fingers when you need the added protection, exposed fingertips when you don't! 

With these, I can keep my paws warm with a fully functioning mitten.  When I want to surf on my Blackjack, I can just flip the thumb tip back and have easy access to the control wheel and back button (which is about all I need when checking my feeds on Bloglines).  Need more access than that?  Flip the entire mitten tip back and it sticks to the back of the glove using a tiny velcro patch.  Excellent for texting or using other gadgets (like my EOS Rebel XTi, due to show up tomorrow). :)

These aren't cheap gloves, but they're the best "gadget friendly" mitts I've seen.
