Forget those fingerless mitts! Freehands gloves really do keep most of your fingers and hands warm by letting you expose only the fingers you need for using all sorts of mobile devices.
The Freehands gloves' patent pending design allows the user to flip back the caps of the thumb and forefinger so they can text, choose some music or game away. Small magnets (not powerful enough to affect watches or other gadgets) hold the caps in place.
Father and son Stanley and Josh Rubin of Cool Hunting are the designers of Freehands gloves.
