If you live in a cold climate, then you’ll know the issue of trying to use your capacitive touchscreen on your phone or tablet with gloves on. The Hi-Call glove from Hi-Fun in Italy fixes that with capacitive threads in the fingertips. But that’s not all! Integrated into the left glove is a Bluetooth microphone and speaker; using the controls on the cuff of the glove, you can control your Bluetooth-capable phone. Charging is via a micro-USB port and standby time is quoted as 10 days. Hey you might look stupid, but at least you’ll be warm and won’t miss that important phone call. Available in black or grey (sorry, your choice of colour isn’t going to make you look any less dorky), they’re currently available for pre-order for 49.99 € ($65).
(Ha, the instruction manual reminds you to turn your glove off before you get on a plane.)
