About the Company

Agloves® is a patent-pending winter touchscreen glove company.  The Boulder, Colorado-based  business launched September 29, 2010 and currently employs seven people.  From the beginning, Agloves was globally successful.  Within three months of business, Agloves had sold roughly 60,000 pairs of gloves in 43 countries worldwide from their online store, www.Agloves.com.  Now, Agloves is expanding into retail sales in the European Union.

The gloves' simple, yet user-friendly design, has earned the Agloves several prestigious accolades such as:

• "Best of CES 2010," (The Daily Buzz)
• "Audience Choice Award," (IFA Usability Park 2011)
• "Best Winter Gadget" (MSNBC)
• Boulder County Business Report's IQ Award.

Agloves are the brainchild of Jennifer and Jean Spencer, a mother-daughter team who realized the need for touchscreen gloves during the winter of 2010 while struggling to use their iPhones in the cold.

"We just weren't willing to answer our phones with our noses anymore," reflects Jennifer Spencer, the company's CEO and President.

Agloves work on all capacitive touchscreen devices.  The secret to the tech-savvy gloves is in the actual silver.  That's right, the gloves are made with real silver.  Manfucturers knit silver-nylon thread throughout the glove which results in the gloves' ability to conduct the body's naturally producing bio-electricity across the glove membrane.  Capacitive touchscreens need a conductive substance to function, but wikipedia explains it better than us.
