The next time you feel as though your fingers do not have enough blood flowing in that particular direction, it is not as though your spider sense is tingling, but rather, it could be due to the fact that you need a device like the $149.95 Circulation Enhancing Vibration Gloves to help you out. These happen to be therapeutic gloves which are able to vibrate so that they help to stimulate blood flow in the fingers, all the while providing drug-free relief from pain and stiffness – which is great for those who want to wean themselves off painkillers and other kinds of pills.
The Circulation Enhancing Vibration Gloves will sport slim nodes that have been strategically placed over each finger and thumb joint, allowing the gloves to deliver a gentle vibration which will help massage away pain all the while improving one’s flexibility. This particular comfortable movement, when merged with a slight compression that has been exerted by the gloves’ slim fit, would end up creating a soothing warmth which is touted to help enhance circulation and ease soreness. The soft gloves themselves are manufactured from a breathable blend of 92% cotton/8% spandex, and they offer a firm grip of whatever you intend to tote around thanks to textured undersides. A 4-hour charge offers up to 20 minutes of treatment.

A couple of years ago we saw a pair of taser gloves made with everyday items. But both gloves had to be in contact with the target in order for them to deliver a shock. GreekGadgetGuru’s stun glove lets you ward off attackers with just one hand.
The metal spikes on the glove are wired to the stun gun on his wrist. GreekGadgetGuru made it so that the polarity of the fingers are alternating. This means he only has to touch something – or someone – with two adjacent fingers for the current to flow. He also incorporated what appears to be a flex sensor into the glove’s switch, enabling him to toggle the flow of electricity just by flexing his hand.
Send GreekGadgetGuru a message on Facebook if you want to know how he made the stun glove. Then send a message to all the jerks who – nope. Just kidding. Breathe. Easy.

LEGO Minifig Hand Syndrome, or LMHS. It’s a common problem that afflicts many of us. It comes from playing with LEGO for too many hours straight. Your hand begins to cramp and before you know it, you have a LEGO minifig hand. But don’t worry. Despite your ability to grasp things like a robot, and your limited ability to do anything involving fingers, there is a glove for you.
These LEGO minifig mittens are perfect. They were made by Carissa, a crafter in Dallas. They are obviously inspired by the hands of LEGO minifigs. They will keep you warm and are also perfect for LEGO cosplay.
Don’t let LMHS slow you down. Wear these mittens. You can find the complete pattern here.

When we talk about wearable technology these days, most of the time, we would think of Google Glass as well as other kinds of wearable headsets. Well, the BearTek Gloves certainly brings something different to the wearable technology scene, and although it is not as glamorous as a pair of Google Glass, it is still packed with enough wireless connectivity to make you wish you had one underneath the Christmas tree later this December. Ready to arrive in time for consumers to own one this coming 2013 holiday season, the BearTek Gloves is a new and unique wearable technology gift for those who love the great outdoors as well as indulge in action sports, as it assures them an intuitive single hand control of their portable devices without compromising on safety.
The BearTek Gloves are luxury class gloves which were specially designed for motorcycle, ski and snowboard enthusiasts, in addition to those who happen to be outdoors most of the time in the winter months, all without hindering their ability to remain connected to their phone, music media, and action camera devices. Boasting built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity as well as other wireless technologies, those who slip on a pair of BearTek Gloves will gain instant connectivity in the glove fingertips. This connectivity lets one control their phone, music and additional media devices such as GoPro cameras, all without having to perform the physical act of touching them. An innovative design would relieve the issue that outdoor enthusiasts have suffered from for a long time, that is, to take out their mobile device and remove their gloves so that they can attend to an incoming call, or to operate their GoPro camera.
How does the BearTek Gloves work? Well, the answer is pretty simple – all you need to do is tap the thumb to different finger touchpads that are embedded along the sides of the fingers, and it will send a signal to the media device that it is already tucked away safe and sound. Available in numerous kits, the snow glove kits will retail for $250 a pop, while motorcycle enthusiasts can pick up the motorcycle glove for $275, with the winter classic glove being the most affordable of the lot, retailing for $225 each. All kits will come with the selection of a Bluetooth or a GoPro camera sync module, and it will feature a shade of black with silver trim accents. Sizes range from small through XXL, so there should be something for everyone.

These neat knitted mittens by Etsy seller HotScones add +2 to warmth and +5 to charisma. They’re made of alpaca fleece and wool. Probably from a wool dragon. I see a lot of potential in this. Instead of settling for a generic dragon or dinosaur look, why not go for a specific item? We can have Wolverine mittens, Omni-tool mittens, PIP-Boy mittens…
Ryu mittens, Kazuya Mishima mittens, Infinity Gauntlet mittens…
Shin Megami Tensei gauntlet mittens, Mega Buster mittens, Power Glove mittens… the possibilities are endless. You can order the HotScones’ mittens from her Etsy shop for around $43 (USD) to $48 per pair. Unfortunately the green ones shown here are sold out as of this writing. Even more unfortunate, my awesome ideas for mittens don’t exist yet.

Some would argue that professional baseball of past eras was a simpler and purer version of the game, free from controversies like player strikes or steroid use. And this line of Shoeless Joe throwback gloves, that recreate designs from as far back as 1910, could help you relive those times—even if they’re named after a player who was banned from the game after the 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal. Simpler times, right?

Your average motorist is more used to sharing the road with other vehicles than cyclists. So instead of just relying on your arms to safely signal an upcoming turn, consider these $42 turn signal gloves which let both cyclists and motorists alike know where you’re headed. More »
It’s winter and people still need to use their smartphones or tablets as much as ever. But buying a dedicated pair of touchscreen gloves could be an unnecessary expense. AnyGlove is a special solution that claims to make any glove touchscreen-compatible.
AnyGlove’s secret potion works by simply putting a few drops on the fingertips of your gloves, providing the proper conductive properties to make capacitive touchscreens work. The concoction isn’t permanent, and you’ll need to reapply it every few days, depending on how much you use your gloves. Also, the liquid can stain lighter colored fabrics and yarns, but it’s invisible on darker materials.
You can get AnyGlove from Amazon for $14.95(USD). Depending on how long it lasts, it might be cheaper to just buy touchscren gloves, but I’m definitely curious to try these on my motorcycle gloves.
