Title: Making your gloves work on touch screens
Post by: gone-cruising on September 15, 2018, 03:02:26 PM

Hi everyone,
Whats the best way to make your gloves touch screen compatible?
I've tried the metallic threads and that doesn't work very well.
After spending $100 bucks on my gloves, I really don't want to buy another pair.
Anyone got something that works?
Cheers Steve  :13Candy

Need to know what type of screen you are using, Make, Model of device would be fine.

Havent tried any of these as my summer gloves work on the phone screen 'mostly'. Winter gloves dont work, but I rarely have to use them these days.

I wonder if a thin slice of the special rubber on those "pen tips" you get for $1 if glued to a finger tip would work.

Thanks for the help guys, I need to sort it out.
I have a iphone 8 on a RAM mount. the screen apparently works off electronic pulses from your fingers.
I tried the metallic thread that they say works on youtube but it didn't, they say that the pulses run through the metal. And I tried it with a coin and that works in your fingers but not with gloves and will scratch the screen.

Gloves work fine on my Tom Tom Rider and I think the Garmin ones as well. Their screens are designed to work with bike gloves.

Not to fussed about the phone as I don't use it though If I remember to turn the intercom on I can answer a call but wouldn't know how to end it.

Thanks "Cravenhaven"
I have ordered the "gloveTacts" hopefully all will work out.

I'd love to not have to take off my gloves.  Its soooo annoying when I ask Siri to get me directions and he responds "you'll have to unlock your iPhone first".

How did the gloveTacts work out?

Has anyone seen / tried this?  http://www.anyglove.com/anyglove-leather-formula-for-genuine-leather-gloves-html.php (http://www.anyglove.com/anyglove-leather-formula-for-genuine-leather-gloves-html.php)

gloveTacts are working a treat, mine are on leather so got 2 sets and haven't had any problems.
I'll keep the other set in case I buy a new pair along the track.
