Fingerless Gloves – Five Plus One

Five Plus One is our weekly series of buyer’s guides. We pick a specific category and dig up five great options along with one that’s a little outside the norm.


Winter may be drawing to a close, but we still have a few more brisk mornings to wake up to. And I don’t know about you guys, but I find my cold, morning commutes are much more tolerable when I have a nice pair of gloves to keep my hands warm. That said, gloves can make certain things difficult, such as checking your phone. That’s why this week’s article is dedicated to fingerless gloves, the perfect cold(ish) weather accessory.

N. Hoolywood’s Fingerless Gloves are pretty simplistic, but then again all fingerless gloves kind of are. They are knitted in Japan out of a wool/cashmere blend, excellent for both warmth and comfort, and feature a printed label at the cuff. Although the cuff of this pair is not elasticated, it does feature a different knitting pattern that will keep the gloves tight around your wrists.

NAQP produces some wonderful products that won’t break the bank, and their take on the Fingerless Glove is among them. Available in three colors, these 100% lambswool gloves are all made in Toronto, Canada.
