Digits conductive pins are the perfect solution for cold weather texting. These pins simply snap on your favorite pair of gloves and, voila, you will no longer type gibberish. Thank goodness for the parent company Quirky for realizing this annoying problem.
They work on most gloves, provided they are knit. Digits don’t go well with leather. Digits are animal friendly, I guess. In any event, these pins are much more convenient than related gloves made for this use, as they can be swapped out for different gloves depending on what color gloves you want to represent your winter gloom.
They are available now for around $14.
