There is nothing worse than the cold winter wind mocking you as your gloved hand swipes the screen of your touch-sensitive mobile device and nothing happens. With the dropping temperature comes the frustrating inability to use your smartphone.

Fortunately, AEON Attire is offering a range of gloves that are not only smartphone compatible, but stylish, too.

AEON's glove line was originally launched as a Kickstarter campaign but has since moved to a separate website for pre-orders, as it currently has more than $25,000 funded of its $2,500 pledge goal.

The gloves, priced at $65, are already in production, according to AEON's Kickstarter page. The company says "the gloves should be good to arrive before the holidays," making them a perfect gift for your tech-savvy friends.
