TRENDOUX Men Gloves Winter, Womens Touchscreen Glove Texting Phone Unisex - Driving Running Work - Anti-slip Grip - Elastic Cuff - Soft Knit Material - Winter Warm Glove for Cold Hands - Black - XL

Why I tried these gloves

I spend a lot of time outside in shoulder seasons and mild winter conditions—early morning runs, dog walks, shuttling between the car and cold rinks—and I’m constantly juggling a phone, keys, and steering wheels. I wanted a lightweight glove that could keep my hands warm without turning them into clumsy paddles. The Trendoux winter gloves caught my eye for their knit build, grippy palm, and promise of touchscreen control on three fingers. After several weeks of daily use in cool-to-cold weather, a few long drives, and one very blustery day, here’s how they shaped up.

Design and materials

These are classic knit gloves with a brushed interior that feels immediately soft against skin. The knit has enough stretch to contour to the hand without feeling flimsy, and the elastic cuff sits snugly at the wrist to block drafts. The palm and fingers wear a silicone-like pattern that adds real traction without adding bulk. Conductive fabric is integrated into the thumb, index, and middle fingertips for touch control.

There’s no bulk insulation here—no batting, no membrane—just a warm knit with a fuzzy lining. That choice keeps weight down and preserves dexterity, which is the main appeal. It also signals upfront that these are about warmth and control in dry, everyday cold—not a fully weatherproof solution for sleet, slush, or prolonged time in snow.

Touchscreen performance

Out of the package, the touchscreen response is impressively immediate. Tapping, swiping, unlocking, and launching the camera all worked reliably on my iPhone and an Android tablet. I could type short messages with my index finger without too many missed strokes, and two-finger gestures registered as expected.

As the weeks went on, I noticed a very slight dip in accuracy on the thumb—the finger I use most for typing. It never failed entirely, but I found myself switching to the index finger for more precise inputs, especially when the fabric had absorbed a bit of moisture from breath condensation or a light mist. In dry conditions, responsiveness recovered well. For navigation, music controls, answering calls, and quick photos, the touchscreen feature is consistently helpful; for long texts, I still prefer going gloveless or using voice.

Tip: if you rely heavily on the thumb for typing, sizing for a closer fingertip fit helps, and keeping the tips clean and dry preserves responsiveness.

Warmth in real use

Warmth sits right in the sweet spot for active errands and moderate cold. On brisk 35–45°F (2–7°C) mornings, my hands stayed comfortable during runs and walks. Driving with a cold steering wheel felt fine, and the brushed lining prevents that initial chill you get with thinner gloves. Standing still in wind around the freezing point, they’re adequate for about 15–20 minutes before you start wishing for a heavier option. Once temperatures slip well below freezing, these become more of a liner or a short-duration solution.

The elastic cuff is a quiet hero: it seals the wrist well, which does more for comfort than you’d expect. The knit also breathes, so my hands didn’t get sweaty on tempo runs, and the lining doesn’t feel clammy when I come back inside.

Weather resistance

These are knit gloves; they aren’t waterproof, and they aren’t meant to be. In light mist or brief contact with snow on a car windshield, the surface can pick up moisture. The fabric dries relatively quickly indoors, but if you plan to be out in wet snow or freezing drizzle, you’ll want a water-resistant shell over them or a different glove entirely. The grippy pattern doesn’t peel or flake when damp, but you lose warmth quickly once saturated, as with any knit.

Grip and dexterity

The grip pattern earns its keep. Holding a phone one-handed, twisting a stroller handle, and gripping a steering wheel all feel secure. I didn’t notice the glove twisting on my hand, and the silicone adds friction without feeling sticky. Fine motor control—like fishing a single card out of a wallet or pressing small buttons—remains doable, which is a nice contrast to bulkier winter options.

For running and gym sessions, the balance between stretch and grip works well for water bottles and light equipment. For work that needs more abrasion resistance (handling rough materials or tools), the knit will show wear faster than a leather or synthetic work glove.

Fit and comfort

The fit is forgiving thanks to the stretch, and the interior is genuinely cozy. The fingertips are shaped rather than flat, which helps with feel, though if your thumbs are short relative to your palm, you might notice a hair of extra length there. The gloves break in quickly; they don’t loosen dramatically, but they adapt to your hand within a day or two.

Breathability is good for a winter glove, which matters if you’re moving from cold outdoor air to heated interiors. The lining doesn’t shed, and I didn’t experience itchiness, even during multi-hour wear.

Durability and care

After a month of use, the palms show faint smoothing where the grip pattern meets the steering wheel, but nothing has flaked. The knit hasn’t pilled excessively, and seams remain intact. The conductive tips are the first area to show subtle wear—less in appearance, more in the drop of thumb sensitivity I mentioned earlier. That’s typical for fabric-based touch tips and seems in line with the price point.

For care, I hand-washed in cool water with mild detergent and air-dried flat. That kept the lining soft and preserved the elasticity. A quick lint roll brings them back to presentable if you’ve collected pet hair or fuzz.

Value

These punch above their weight for everyday cold-weather needs. They’re light, warm for their class, easy to stash in a pocket, and genuinely usable with a phone. They’re not trying to replace insulated waterproof gloves for deep winter or mountain days, and that clarity helps set expectations. As a daily carry in a coat pocket, they make a lot of sense.

Who they’re for

• Commuters and drivers who want warmth without bulk and reliable steering-wheel grip
• Runners and walkers in dry, cool-to-cold weather near freezing and above
• Anyone who needs frequent phone access outdoors without fully exposing hands
• People who prefer a soft, lined knit feel over stiff shells

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone spending extended time in wet snow, sleet, or freezing rain
• Users regularly in sub-freezing temperatures for long, stationary periods
• Those who need heavy-duty abrasion resistance for work tasks

Small tips to get the most out of them

• Keep the fingertips clean and dry for best touchscreen performance
• Choose a size that keeps fingertip fabric taut if precise typing matters
• Layer a windproof or waterproof shell over them in poor weather
• Hand-wash and air-dry to extend the life of the conductive fabric

The bottom line

The Trendoux winter gloves land in a useful niche: warm enough for everyday cold, dexterous enough for tasks, and smart enough for quick phone interaction. They’re comfortable from the first wear, the grip is notably effective, and the cuff seals out drafts better than most knit competitors. They do have clear limits—wet conditions and deep cold aren’t their game—and the touchscreen tips, while good, are at their best when dry and may lose a touch of precision over time, particularly on the thumb.

Recommendation: I recommend these for anyone seeking an affordable, lightweight glove for dry, cool-to-moderately cold days where phone use and grip are priorities. They’re an easy, practical upgrade over basic knits, and as long as you pair them with a shell in wet weather or step up to insulated gloves for deep winter, they’ll earn a permanent spot in your coat pocket.
