[kepople]

Anyone found riding gloves that work with a smartphone touch screen?

sometimes I can get my iphone to work, but not often.

This is what you want:

It's called conductive thread. You'll want to make a small knot and then thread it through the fingertip of your glove. Then on the inside make another small knot to hold it in place, and leave a decent sized wad of thread in there to make contact with your finger. That's all it takes! The knot on the outside will now work on all touch screen devices. I do this to all my pointer fingers and thumbs for my gloves. I use the exact thread I linked to as well. :thumbup:

I use this and it works AWESOME. There seems to be plenty of liquid in the bottle to do several pairs. I applied it to just the pointer finger, thumb and middle fingers. It's been working for a month now without needing a second application.

actually it is. The phone is my return to home gps, and since its getting colder, I want be able just to pull off hit return to home, and follow directions.

Agreed Bob. My phone serves 1 purpose on a Ryde, and that is to connect my Helmet with the 14000 songs I have in the cloud. If the music stops, then it's time for a break anyway. I. Let all calls on a ryde go to VM.

In my case I have a very sick parent and can't be away from the phone. so all of this is very good info.

The only reason my phone is associated with my Bluetooth in my helmet is so I know if someone is calling me. If someone calls, I pull over, check the voicemail, and, if needed, call them back. Since I have music on the phone, too, I'll listen to it, just because it is there. I don't talk on my phone while driving my car or ryding my :spyder2: . . . too distracting and no phonecall is worth dying over.

Did not work for me...

but they do also have a dip and a spray to apply to your exsisting gloves...just have to hund them out..!! :thumbup:

I bought some from Amazon and even worked with the creator as they kept saying it will work...well it didn't....I did find some Northface mid weight gloves that are ok but not for cold weather (like this am...28' and I'm heading out )...so my opinion of the "stuff" to apply to existing ryding gloves...Don't waste your time or $$...altho Amazon did refund my $$...:yes:
