AlarmTag pin hard to pull with gloves on?

I’d rather have a pin I can actually grab than some tiny button, and a decent sized loop on it makes a big difference with gloves. Mine hangs off my keys and I’ve yanked it a few times just getting them out of my pocket, so it’s definitely not stiff. Thick winter gloves might still be a bit clumsy though.

The pin itself is fine to grab, but where you clip it matters more than the pull. I had mine on a keyring buried in my coat pocket and could not get to it fast enough, gloves or not. Moved it to the outside of my jacket and it is a lot easier to deal with. With thick gloves you mostly lose the fine pinch grip, so the loop on the pin helps, but if the whole thing is stuffed away it does not matter how easy the pin is. Mine has been on my bag strap since about November and I can get a decent hold of it without taking my gloves off. Just think about where it will hang before you buy it.

Mine pulls fine with my thick ski gloves, no fumbling.

People keep saying thick gloves are a problem but I’ve never had an issue with mine. You just hook a finger through and pull, same as any other pull pin. Maybe some folks have theirs clipped somewhere awkward.

I’ve only had mine a couple weeks but the pin has a decent little loop on it that my finger catches fine through a wool glove. The bigger thing for me was just getting used to where it sits on my jacket so I’m not patting around for it.

Gloves aren’t the problem, the pin is. Mine takes a real yank even bare-handed, so with anything thick on I’d be standing there wrestling it while whoever I’m worried about walks right up. Not what I’d call instant.

The pin itself is fine with gloves, at least for me. What made the difference was where I keep it. Mine came with a little clip so I stuck it on the outside of my jacket pocket instead of burying it in there. Cold hands plus digging around in fabric is where things get clumsy, not the pull itself. Having it right there on the outside means I can just grab and go without looking down. Only downside is it swings around a bit when I’m walking fast, but that’s a small thing. I’ve only had it since last winter so I can’t say how the clip holds up long term, but so far so good.

Gloves haven’t gotten in my way with it, but cold fingers are a different story. The pin comes out fine, it’s getting a grip on the tag itself when my hands are stiff that I notice more.
