The Kjus BT 2.0 Glove has been created to help you avoid needing to whip your ski gloves off in freezing conditions when you need to call your hungover mates to see if they have even hit the slopes yet. These Bluetooth integrated gloves allow you to make and receive phone calls without getting your smartphone out of your pocket, keeping your hands warm and phone dry during sleet or snow.

The gloves also feature an OLED display, so you can see who is calling, your battery life and connection status, as well as featuring a built-in waterproof microphone and speaker. Constructed from a 100% Polyester face fabric, a breathable Toray Dermizax EV membrane, 65% polyester and 15% wool lining, plus a 100% goatskin lining on the palm, they have a DWR treatment and produce a four-way stretch that is fully waterproof. This accumulates in a flexible and warm glove that is comfortable to wear. There are a detachable wrist leash and hooks to attach these gloves securely to your gear (it would be an expensive lost glove, and you can almost guarantee it would be the one with the headset in). The speaker and microphone also have noise cancelling technology, though this didn’t prove effective or even noticeable during testing.

The gloves are easy to use; the righthand glove needs to be charged via the Micro USB port and charges up quickly. You pair it with your phone and can use it up to ten meters away from it, but it works best in under five meters. You can answer calls, cancels call, use call waiting and voice activated calling. The sound quality is ok, but not as good as you would experience on your device. Also, you look a little insane chatting away with your hand on the side of your head! The bottom line is, will you use these? There may be a small percentage of people who want to answer every call they get whilst trying to have a good time on the slopes, but I would rather switch off and enjoy repeatedly falling over on the nursery slope (I never said I was any good). Phone calls make up about 5% of communications via my phone, so if the OLED displayed SMS and other notifications it would prove more useful. The BT 2.0 are great gloves - warm and waterproof, with an expensive add-on that may provide beneficial to a small percent of (probably rich) people. RRP $399
