Fingerless Gloves

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to find fingerless gloves to use when my hands are cold but still need to use the computer. Do any of you have any suggestions as to where I could get some from?

Thanks in advance

Kimberley

Hi,

I had the same problem and I was advised to look on betterware then type in gloves think they were £9.99 but they are supposed to be thin but thermal. Haven't had chance to look or just forget............prehaps I'll look now :-))

Know what you tho as I work at a computer and my hands are often cold!

Good luck with your search. Take care x

Most high Street stores have them :) I have a pair which has a mitt to go over the top when you don't need them to be fingerless. They are woollen. The only thing I have found is that my hand would be warm but my uncovered fingers still get cold and stiff so it still makes computer work difficult. Maybe that is just me :)

I don't use them but my fingers do get cold, so I keep a hot herbal wrap and warm them up now and then. Bicyclists and I think golfers wear them, but I like what tiredalot said about the woolen with mitts. I'd check the internet.

Etsy has some nice ones, or you could try knitting or crocheting your own.

I like these ones

Not sure about fingerless but Dent's sell them with special ends that can be used on touch screens. Fingerless gloves can sometime be found in sports shops. Or you can knit some.

You can buy full gloves that work on tablets and phones so no reason they would be usable for keyboard on PC/Mac?

I use "cuffs", they are like tubes of fabric with either a hole for you thumb to go through or a separate little tube for your thumb. The advantage is they come down further over your fingers & u don't have the fabric in between your fingers so easier to type. I got them from market stalls, but think you can get online too.

I'd post a photo but can't work out how to

Hi babebatista :)

I can try to get the pattern from my mum if you can knit or know someone who can knit them for you :)

I shall post a picture of mine for you to see :)

I love them and wear them all the time on the laptop and thye help tremendously :)

Hi - I wear fingerless gloves a lot for computer work - I have some from Ness which are thin and can turn into a mitt, and some from Fatface, but I have quite a few from Primark that are fingerless, some of which turn into mitts too - all £1 -£2 for one to two pairs. They do some with fingers which are compatible with wearing when using phones / tablets etc...very cheap - worth a look. Personally I would try Primark for this use and for value, good luck :)

Hi Kimberley, try a company called Jobskin contact telephone number 01159 73 4300 or you can google it. Brilliant, superb products can't fault them, I have the therapeutic fingerless gloves and I use a computer all day long in my job!! These help me a great deal without them I would be suffering more as my fingers have chilblains on my fingers, also have raynauds disease. Just a few things that are wrong with me LOL

Hope this helps X

Hi, I got a lovely pair from Primark. A couple of years ago I got some from ebay that were long so kept my arms warm too.

Hi Babe. The ones from Kleeneze are a thin thermal type but if you google disability aids you will come up with several sites which sell things like this. I have ordered from some in the past but not sure if it is ok to actually name them on the forum! The thin thermal gloves are great for general work including computer. They are like a silky feel and less bulky than knitted ones. It depends on what you prefer. I can knit and crochet with mine so I prefer them. Xo

Hello you've inspired my first post! But I've found products made by thermoskin are wonderful, they make gloves and are very very good, they are quite expensive but in my opinion are worth it. You can find them on eBay hope this helps

Amazon have loads of them. You can also get touch-screen gloves that have fingers in them but with a pad on each finger that might be suitable.

Hi there

I saw some plain black woolly ones in my local Superstore Tes*o.

Hope I'm not breaking any rules by naming a store?
