One of the more recent issues that outdoor gear manufacturers have begun to address is the fact that an increasing number of people want to be able to use their various electronic devices without having to always take off pieces of outerwear. As technology becomes more integral to our daily lives, it only makes sense to design gear that will allow streamlined use of your gadgets without having to sacrifice comfort. These two outerwear items are just the thing for outdoorsy people who want to stay connected when temperatures begin to drop.
Outdoor Research PL Sensor Gloves – $30 $21.95
Make all your phone calls and update your social media without having to subject your hands to the cold autumn wind with the PL Sensor Gloves from Outdoor Research. These lightweight, water and wind-resistant gloves are constructed from 100-weight fleece that dries quickly and breathes for consistent insulation from the cold. The index finger and thumb feature conductive suede tips that allow you to operate any touchscreen device through the glove, and non-slip grips on the other fingertips and the palms. They’re low profile enough to wear as base layers for outer shells, and will slide easily into jacket cuffs and stay there with the contoured wrists.
