Marmot today revealed its practical iGlove Multi handwear. The company hopes to overcome the common problem of controlling an iPod's touch-sensitive click wheel through winter gloves, which often dull the responsiveness or negate it entirely. The tips of both the index finger and thumb on each glove are made of a proprietary Playpoint material that Marmot says increases contact with the wheel and lets wearers scroll through menus without exposing their hands to freezing temperatures.

The gloves also sport a sillicon printing on the inside to steady the grip on the iPod and are thin enough to be worn underneath larger gloves in particularly cold weather. Marmot's resellers now offer pairs of the iGlove Multi in sizes between Small and Extra Large for $35.
