Sizes: Small to XL | Color: Black | Materials: Nylon, acrylic, copper, spandex

Unlike most options that only let your thumbs and pointer fingers do the work, this innovative pair from Glider Gloves has conductive threads throughout to mimic human touch on your entire hand. Ultra-soft and cozy thanks to thermal insulated layers, they feature a snug fit and an anti-slip palm grip to keep your phone firmly in your hand. Over 1,000 Amazon shoppers are fans, with one five-star reviewer raving, “These gloves are amazing — they really do work. I can dial or answer my iPhone, silence podcasts or change programs. My entire family is now using them as interior/liner gloves while skiing as they are perfect when going up on a lift. They keep our hands warm and give us a better grip on the phone. I am always surprised at how warm they keep my hands.”

Sizes: S/M and L/XL | Color: Black | Materials: Leather and fleece

Our gift guides editor Amanda Garrity has owned these sleek leather Isotoners for over five years and calls them her “go-to gloves.” She adds, “They look good whether I'm wearing my down puffer or a wool coat, plus I can continue using my phone without any interruption. They're also great for driving since they're not too bulky and I can easily fit the steering wheel in my hand.” While they're ideal for chilly and moderately cold temperatures, Garrity says “I switch to my heavy-duty gloves” on super frigid days. But their stylish, classic design and the fact that she “can easily navigate Google Maps, make calls and check text messages” make them worth it. And she's not the only fan — nearly 1,700 Amazon shoppers have given the gloves their five-star seal of approval.

Sizes: S/M and M/L | Colors: Black | Materials: Microfleece, conductive fiber

These knit touchscreen gloves from Moshi have a grippy texture on the fingers and palms to prevent items from slipping out of your hands. A microfleece lining makes them super cozy. The gloves fit snugly to make typing easier and all 10 fingers are touchscreen compatible! Lisa Ockinga, chief product officer at Ling app, uses touchscreen gloves a lot as a product developer and app designer and these are her top pick for cold conditions. Amazon shoppers agree, raving about how warm and functional they are. “I have tried other gloves that work with a touchscreen and they’ve all been duds. These gloves are awesome!" wrote one excited reviewer. "They are warm, soft and WORK."

Sizes: Small to Large | Colors: Light Gray, Dark Gray | Materials: Lambskin, cashmere

Not only do these chic gloves give you a five-finger touchscreen experience but they're waterproof and windproof too, so you can wear them in inclement weather. The outside is made from a supple Ethiopian lambskin, while the inside is lined with luxe cashmere. A leather strap and snap closure near the wrist prevent rain and wind from getting inside. “The gloves are awesome. They have the style and the look I have been searching for. The quality is the best; the fit is on point,” wrote one five-star Mujjo reviewer.

Sizes: Medium and Large | Colors: Brown, Black | Materials: Polyester, nylon, spandex, wool

Contributing shopping editor Libby Sentz was thrilled to try this cute pair of gloves because she’s “never had touchscreen gloves that actually worked well before.” She added, “They're warm and waterproof, so I'm excited to test them in snowy weather. And they've got a nice pointy fingertip, which is great for touchscreens. I also appreciate the long cuff, which keeps the cold out.” The gloves are touchscreen-compatible on the thumbs, pointer and middle fingers, and they have a brushed lining for added warmth. Sentz recommends checking the size chart before buying because she made the mistake “of choosing medium without measuring, and they're a bit tight.”

Sizes: Small to XL | Colors: Black, Tan, Blue | Materials: Polyester, spandex

Backcountry gearhead Warren Young loves these warm touchscreen gloves because they can “pull double-duty as liners or as standalone gloves.” They boast two inner layers of fleece for ample heat retention and a breathable, sweat-wicking, quick-drying performance shell to ensure happy hands. Along with anti-slip silicone pads, the gloves feature tapered wrists to keep the heat in and the cold out.

Sizes: XS to XL | Colors: Gray, Black, White/Yellow/Black | Materials: Polyester, Spandex

If you’re looking for a great pair of touchscreen gloves to wear for outdoor sports and activities, read on. Senior commerce writer Kristin Granero owns these and raved, “they are lightweight and agile enough for jogging and add another layer of warmth on cooler days (and the touchscreen tips make it easy to check stats and messages while on the go). I personally love the Nightlife design, which features reflective material, for greater visibility during evening jaunts and journeys, especially in big cities. I own and love the Nightlife Ghost sneakers too!” While they are the perfect pair for working up a sweat, she wouldn’t recommend them for super cold, snowy days.

Sizes: Medium to XL | Colors: 15 different styles to choose from | Materials: Acrylic, Polyester, Spandex

These Achiou options prove you don’t need to spend a ton of money on a great pair of touchscreen-compatible gloves. The No.1 bestsellers have conductive fibers on three fingers, plus silicone grips throughout the design. There are 15 (!!) different styles to choose from — so it should be easy to find a pair that suits your style. And at $10 a pop, you can’t beat the price. “I honestly didn’t think they’d be such good quality. These gloves have a nice thickness to them, they keep your hands warm and allow you to use your phone without taking them off. Have good stretch to them too, Overall pretty good set of gloves you won’t regret purchasing,” wrote one happy shopper.

Sizes: Small to XL | Colors: Black, Tan | Materials: Polyester, Spandex

Young recommends these versatile gloves because they are super functional and “are built to handle ski touring.” They feature a windstopping lining to keep snowy gusts from entering and a stretchy fleece shell that moves with you. The thumbs and pointer fingers are touchscreen-compatible while the other fingers and palms have a grippy anti-slip texture. While they are warm enough to be worn on their own for super cold days, you can layer them under a bulkier pair of ski gloves for extra heat. “Warm, it is easy to use a smartphone with the sensor touch. I generally use them for running in colder weather or skiing under a thicker glove. Great glove and would recommend,” said a five-star fan.

Sizes: S/M, M/L and L/XL | Colors: Black | Materials: Polyester, Elastane

While most options on this list have non-slip patches to keep your phone in place, the entire palm of these gloves is silicone printed for superior grip. The touchscreen-compatible thumbs and index fingers are lightweight and thin enough to be worn as liners for shell mitts if you so choose. Young is a fan because “it’s a great lightweight glove for layering and high-output pursuits.”

Sizes: Large and XL | Colors: Black | Materials: Elastic, Fleece, Leather
