I was browsing through the racks of a store at the mall yesterday when I noticed something I didn’t know existed: a glove design that gives you both gloves without fingertips and mittens. They also came in great colors, so I decided on the spot to get a pair, even as I’m in saving mode.
I just couldn’t resist. They were so much fun, and so very useful, given that it was the first day of snow over here, and that my hands had been freezing.
I’ve never owned fingerless gloves before, but I realized at some point that they can come in handy these days, given that we need to use our smartphones on the go. I don’t instantly go to my smartphone when I ride a bus or the subway, for instance, but I keep noticing that more and more people do: they check their Facebook, play games, check their messages, write texts to friends.

Soon fall and winter will be upon us. It's still very warm here, even in the evenings. I was out today and enjoyed what is surely one of the last days of summer.
Mira, I came back to this article because September evenings this year are far cooler than days. Nightjars have been out around midnight so I'm keeping the window open a sliver. But it's a bit challenging to turn pages with cold fingers -- which may stay warm enough if the rest of the hand is gloved ;-] -- while awaiting the nightly calls.
Thanks! :)
Winter is coming and I will definitely buying a new pair of half-finger gloves. Thanks for this useful article, it did reminded me of a very important preparation for winter. Tweeting it . .
Yes, these flip-top gloves are very practical, and they're also fun to wear! Thank you for visiting, Derdriu!
Mira, These are charming creations. They are attractive and practical. There are definitely clever minds at work in this world. Fingerless gloves are great but there is always the problem of the exposed skin getting cold -- at least for me, with a natural proclivity for cold hands. The flip is so very very clever.
Thank you, ologsinquito!
I'm pinning this.
Thank you, MonisMas!
