I love my iPhone, and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world except a better one, but is it fair to expect users to change their grooming habits or style in order to use one? Women with long nails have complained loud and clear about not being able to use the touch screen, and during the winter months, those of us who wear gloves have to take them off just so we can answer our iPhone. How cruel is that?

Well thanks to cool hunter Josh Rubin, we don't have bring back the fingerless gloves trend or sport the Michael Jackson single-glove look anymore because he came up with a great solution: the Freehands gloves. The Freehands gloves are actually pretty cool since the fabric covering the index fingers and thumbs can be folded back to expose your fingertips. This in turn will help interact with your gadgets better without having to take off your gloves to send texts, type on your keyboard, play video games, and even answer your iPhone. Best of all, small magnets in the fingertips hold the folded tips back so they'll always stay out of your way.

Cool Hunting is selling three unisex styles that include fleece ($20), stretch ($30), or leather ($40) materials. So if you're a big fan of gloves and gadgets during the winter, Freehands were made for you. You can check them out over at Cool Hunting, which by the way, is a great site about fashion and design blog.
