Since 1997, Totes Isotoner Corporation has long since supplied America with the Totes umbrellas, rain hats, rubber footwear. While its ISOTONER brand is known for winter gloves, hats and slippers (and their ESNY brand focused on their Occasions wedding footwear).
But the ISOTONER brand has long been around thanks to its original company, Aris Glove Company was founded back in 1910. As ISOTONER nylon/spandex glove became the company’s lead product and in 1969, the company was known as ARIS>>ISOTONER would continue the trend of ISOTONER gloves for the next three decades until Totes would acquire the company.
While I primarily wear all leather gloves during the winter, I still have much love for ISOTONER, as these were the gloves I grew up wearing.
And recently, I had the opportunity to review the ISOTONER Men’s Gloves with SmartDri (water rolls off, hand stay drier) and SmarTouch (touchscreen technology, no problems by using your finger tips to access your smartphone or tablet).
The design is similar to the ISOTONER Signature SmarTouch Fleece Palm Gloves, but instead of fleece, these gloves use warm SherpaSoft Lining for warmth and comfort.
According to ISOTONER, “The softest microfiber plus plushest lining combines classic style; flexibility; and supreme warmth for your hands. The SherpaSoft lining is stretchy for a contoured fit and supremely soft for the perfect balance of warmth and comfort”.
The gloves are made of 100% Polyester and I do recommend going a size up. So, for the guys with big hands, for example, I usually get Large, but for this type of glove, Large was a bit tight and I felt Extra Large would have been more satisfactory for my needs.
I did test out the tech portion to make sure I can use this on a smartphone and tablet. Most gloves with the tech feature a portion of a finger that can utilize a touchscreen, but this glove felt much more convenient and had no problems using a smart phone or tablet via its touch screen features with this glove.
Overall, these gloves will no doubt keep my hands warm and I can find myself utilizing using these gloves often during the winter or to keep in my car during the winter time and access them when I ever I go out driving.
But it’s great that after all these years, ISOTONER continues to create a variety of gloves by keeping your hands warm during the cold weather, keeping consistent with quality that they have done for all these years and selling them at an affordable price. And also, to use them with touch screens… with no hassle. I definitely recommend these Isotoner Men’s SmartDri/SmartTouch Gloves.
