Get this – right now, I am writing this very article with my gloves on! With the cold weather fast approaching, its time for fashion and tech savvy New Yorkers to devise a game plan for keeping in touch. We may be lookin’ smart with our smart phones and iPods, but our stylish hand warmers lack the friction needed to type, twitter, and text on the go. Enter Echo’s ingenious and affordable Touch gloves. Quality gloves in a variety of colors designed with your fast-paced urban lifestyle in mind give you friction at your fingertips to tap your touch screens in wind, sleet or snow. Pick the pair that best suits your winter wear and you’re in business.
