Wearable computers may be a reality in today's army, but use is restricted to safe environs like a bunker or an armored vehicle—out in the open, soldiers' priority is keeping hold of their guns. The RallyPoint Handwear Computer Input Device is unique in that it is designed specifically to be used even while the soldier is gripping a gun or a steering wheel. It's full of sensors—maybe too many:

The Polar mobile phone is a concept piece from Yuta Watanabe that is intended for cold weather climates where thick gloves are obstacles to effective communication. The phone looks to be a bit bulkier than usual, with bigger buttons arranged in an easy-to-press vertical layout. More »

180s Tec Touch Gloves
We know, you didn't show up to Gizmodo today to see a pair of gloves. But sometime this winter, you are going to try to make a phone call or use your iPod with some fat-fingered glove and wish you'd paid attention. The $30 Tec Touch gloves are meant for using your gadgets while staying warm. Composed of water-resistant nylon and warm stretch fleece, they'll work well enough to avoid blue fingers. But their claim to fame is a tiny silicon nub on the index finger that's perfect for a button press, along with a suede-like palm that'll keep your "slick" electronics out of the snow. If they can also make a vicious ice ball and pick a frosty nose, we're game. [product via bookofjoe]

Gadget Guide to Becoming a Superhero
It used to be enough just to save a cat from a tree. But with the commonality of CGI, stuntmen and radioactive cellphones, the bar has been raised. Being a hero gets you a pension. Being a superhero gets you everything else. (Like a show on NBC and loads of fruit/sausage/tiny mustard baskets). More »

iGlove Cold Weather iPod Gloves
Let's look at Marmot's iGlove before Apple forces them to change the name. Similar to the oddly named iTYWYF gloves, the iGlove can be used to manipulate the iPod's click wheel. Regular gloves, you may have noticed, hinder your ability to manipulate the click wheel, leaving you with a Solomon-esque choice: risk frost bite every time you want to change a song or listen to the same playlist over and over again but keep your hands warm. iGlove accomplish this Herculean task by using "Playpoint technology," whatever that is.

iTWYF Gloves Lets You Play With Your Gadgets in the Cold
iTWYF, I touch you with your fingers (uh... ?), is a pair of gloves that allows you to keep you delicate fingers toasty while still being able to operate all your favorite gadgets. The thumb, index and middle finger all have this knob-like thing on the them that make using gadgets while wearing the gloves easy. I suppose these gloves are trying to tackle the problem of wearing gloves and trying to use things like an iPod at the same time, which many of us know is an impossibility. They're around $40, so they're a bit pricey for gloves, but if they actually do work as advertised they could make winters walking around the mean street of New York a lot more bearable. More »

Bionic Gloves For Growing Weed
Although advertised as "Bionic" Gloves, these mitts neither give you super strength, super speed, super touch sensitivity, or even super nose picking abilities. Instead, they just keep your hands from getting shredded when you're gardening. Meh. I'd rather have super strength but pay the price in rose thorn scratches. More »

Photographer's Gloves Keeps Your Fingers Toasty
Essentially the same as hobo gloves, these photographers gloves keep your hands toasty as you snap off pics of Brangelina's new baby in whatever third world country they happen to be in this week. The only difference between these and standard fingerless gloves is that your pinkie and ring finger are protected, which makes sense if you were a photographer or a sniper, but makes less sense if you were Dr. Evil.

USB Heating Gloves
Spring is supposedly here and it's allegedly not so cold during the day that one can go out in a fleece hoodie instead of a winter coat. We wouldn't know from experience, since Gawker Media recently had us fitted with house arrest anklets to keep us home typing up posts for your enjoyment. At any rate, if the weather is still so chilly as to keep you from comfortably typing on your keyboard or playing games, you might want to purchase a pair of USB heating gloves. More »

Bodywarmer Gear
I remember throwing those little hand warming packets in my mittens while I froze my butt off at Giants games as a kid, so this Bodywarmer gear looks like a grand idea. Made from fabric that self-heats using hidden heating wire woven right in, these vests, jackets and gloves are also water resistant. Between 3 and 6 AAA batteries are needed to power the material, depending on what you're trying to heat up. More »

Mitten-Gloves for Winter Photographers
Have you ever encountered Yeti in the freezing Himalayas and you could not operate the camera with your numb fingers before he disappeared? The outdoor goods manufacturer Axes Quin is selling a, literally translated, "2 way finger through mitten glove" that keeps your fingers warm and still allows you to operate a camera without taking the gloves completely off. The outer mitten is made of waterproof material. The inner glove is made out of fleece, which has the ideal thickness for operating a camera or changing a memory card. Also available in red, costs about $47.
