PATAGONIA BETTER SWEATER GLOVES £40

I get about 70% success with gloves that claim to work with touchscreens, frequently having to take them off to use my phone. Fingerless gloves solve

that problem and allow you to do fiddly tasks without removing (and possibly losing) the glove. These aren’t waterproof but, made from 100% recycled polyester fleece, they stay warm when wet so I don’t mind. VERDICT Warm, practical and much less likely to get lost, this fingerless glove/mitten combo suits me for anything other than truly gnarly conditions.
