Touchscreen-compatible kids' gloves with silicone gripper dots and ergonomic articulation. Designed for youth sizing with recycled construction and a standard fit.


Phone use without bare hands - with Etip touchscreen compatibility

Etip fingertip areas are tuned to remain responsive to capacitive screens so taps and swipes register while gloves are worn. Touch-sensitive panels are placed on the finger zones most often used for phone control.

Quick access to calls and apps during outdoor activities without exposing cold hands. Safer handling of devices on the move, reducing the need to pull gloves off.

Secure grip during play - with silicone gripper dot print on palm

Silicone dots on the palm increase friction between glove and handheld objects, helping maintain contact with slippery items. The gripper pattern covers key contact areas for phone and equipment handling.

Fewer dropped phones, snacks or toys on walks and at the playground. Better control during cycling, scootering or carrying bags.

Consistent fit and comfort as hands grow - thanks to Youth-specific 5 Dimensional Fit and Radiametric Articulation

Youth-specific 5 Dimensional Fit adjusts the pattern to common child hand proportions, while Radiametric Articulation shapes the fingers and palm into a relaxed curve for natural posture. Standard fit keeps sizing familiar across designs.

Reliable sizing that suits a range of children from small hands to teens, reducing awkward seams and bunching. Natural hand posture helps reduce finger fatigue during prolonged wear.
