Mujjo’s mitts: This company’s taking touchscreen gloves to the next level
Picture the scene. You’re walking down an icy-cold thoroughfare, something akin to Hurricane Harry is swirling around you, then you feel that familiar buzz in your pocket. What do you do? Do you answer the call, and surrender your hands to frost bite? Or do you find a bus shelter to seek some respite from the elements? You could always get yourself some gloves too.
Yes, it may be a first-world dilemma, but it’s a dilemma nonetheless. A quick peruse around your local convenience store may reveal a slew of cheap, touchscreen-compatible gloves – and yes, they work great. But Netherlands-based company Mujjo is going all-out to cater for this market, with a range of premium (AKA ‘not cheap’) gloves geared towards the touchscreen-addled generation.
We’ve previously looked at Mujjo’s range of slick felt and leather cases for iPhones, iPads and Macs, though the company is traditionally better-known for its mobile-centric mitt-warmers. And with winter still strutting its stuff across the northern hemisphere, we thought we’d take a closer look at its latest offerings.
Costing €29.95, the double-layered touchscreen gloves pretty much do exactly what they say on the box. Mujjo developed these mitts in direct response to requests from customers in places such as Canada, Norway and Russia, and they essentially provide double the insulation of its other cheaper gloves.
This additional layer is made out of wool, and serves as extra insulation. The palm-side of the glove, however, features rubber-like dots which is a nice touch, if you’ll pardon the pun, given that this works well for gripping things, such as handlebars or a steering wheel. As with the leather crochet affairs, these sport a fastener across the wrist too, though only one button.
