Outdoor Research has introduced two new styles of handwear that offer the ability to use a touch screen device without having to take off your gloves. Integrating TouchTecâ„¢ technology, the Ambit glove is a fully seam taped, gauntlet style glove. Insulated with EnduraLoftâ„¢, the liner is made from waterproof/breathable Ventiaâ„¢ Plus. In addition to the Ambit there is also a lightweight glove called the Sensor which is offered in both mens and womens sizing.
I tried out a pair briefly during a sales call over the summer. While I can’t speak to the glove’s warmth in various temperatures I can say that I was pleased to be able to control my iPhone while wearing an insulated glove.

I have the Hatch NS430 Specialist glove, and it works perfectly with iPhones and touch screen phones. While not insulated, they are excellent for all weather use – especially for LEO on patrol. They’re cheap too!
I’m curious how the Hatch gloves work on a touch screen. Can you explain the principle they are using?
I’ve been using the Viper Tactical Special ops gloves for two years now, and one of the main things I like about them (other than their rediculously low $20 dollar price tag, and incredible durability) is the fact that you can use pretty much all touchscreen devices with them.
No they dont have a specialised touch-screen technology, but they still work 100% of the time.
