Things I think you should buy: touchscreen gloves
Last year, I wore fingerless gloves that I bought for a dollar at Walgreens all winter long. You know, the kind you see in movies on old, train-riding hobos, clutching a stick with a handkerchief tied at the end containing all their worldly possessions.
It was, admittedly, not a great look, but those addicted to their iPhones (we can all stop saying “smartphone” now, right? everyone has an iPhone? cool) like I am can relate. You’re not going to hide its light under a bushel just because it’s -16 degrees outside with the windchill. I mean, my friends aren’t going to text themselves about how cold it is outside! But I’d rather not risk nerve damage in my fingertips again this year.
If I was afflicted with man hands, I’d buy this pair of gloves by Five Points, available at Bonobos. Thanks to some kind of crazy astronaut fabric (I made that up, but I mean, I’m pretty sure they’re woven with moon yarn), your touchscreen responds and all five fingers can stay toasty warm all winter long.
