We won’t try to tell you that hi-Fun gloves aren’t “pointless and completely laughable.” But it’s still hard to resist a Bluetooth-enabled glove that hides a microphone in its pinkie finger and a speaker in its thumb so that the wearer needs only to make the “call me” sign to carry on a phone chat. You must have your smartphone nearby, but you can receive a call or redial a number by merely touching the back of the glove. The hi-Fun won’t appeal to everyone, but “if you have cold hands and you hate headsets and you’re cool with looking like a total crazy person, here you go.”
