The high-Call Glove will make receiving and making phone calls in the winter a whole lot more pleasant. The gloves have a Bluetooth piece built right into the fingertips. Instead of having to fumble around to get your hands free to type on your smartphone, the gloves will allow recognition despite the material in the way. This product comes from designers at high-Fun.

The gloves have a speaker and microphone built into the pinkie and thumb. They look like a [regular generic glove](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giver-4-season-gloves) too, so they won't stand out at all. You will probably get a few looks when you're walking down the street talking into your hand, however.

These are available in both men's and women's sizes. Check them out if you're looking for a great way to [keep your hands warm this winter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-hand-warmers).
