Glider Gloves Partners with Google Spin-off Niantic, Inc. To Offer
Special Edition
Ingress Gloves
Ingress fans can now buy their very own pair of Ingress Edition Glider
Gloves for seamless real-world gaming.
October 1, 2015 - Toronto,
Ontario -
Glider Gloves is thrilled to announce its latest
partnership with Niantic, the creator of the outdoor real-world mobile game
called
Ingress. Special Ingress Edition touchscreen
gloves
have been exclusively designed for fans and players
of this fascinating game.
Ingress, which is now available on Android and iOS devices, uses its
astonishing geo-location technology to transform the conventional world into a
global gaming arena played by millions in over 200 countries and territories.
Focused on territorial control, players of all ages become "Agents"
for one of two factions; the Resistance or the Enlightened. Agents must
physically visit various "Portals" (landmarks around the world) and
either embrace or defend against a mysterious energy discovered by a team of
scientists in Europe.
"Ingress is a unique and exciting mobile
game that people play year round," says Scott Henderson, Partner and PR Communications
Director at Glider Gloves. "In order to play their best,
Ingress participants
need to gear up with the proper equipment. And in wintertime, that includes
touchscreen gloves."
Ingress
Edition Glider Gloves have all the
features of regular Glider Gloves, including full-touch response, warmth,
protection and anti-slip grips. Plus, these touchscreen-friendly gloves
designed especially for
Ingress Agents offer the Faction logo grip on
the palm (either Resistance or Enlightened), an enhanced cuff with city grid
inner lining and a convenient, faction-branded screen cleaning tag.
Just $34.95 USD, Ingress Edition Glider Gloves
are now available for purchase.
Ingress Special Agents can visit Glider Gloves to learn more about the gloves and buy their very own pair today.
