Put the phone away. Problem solved.

For those that claim it’s needed for GPS, maybe find another activity cause if you don’t get that riding is all about taking that road, one isn’t lost, just never been that way.

Even long rides, I know where I am going. May check something on phone at a **** stop but F having that “albatross” bothering me while on the scoot.

To each their own though, right?

(Here comes the butthurt, my phone is critical, how dare you say put it away!) ha ha ha ha

All my Klim gloves have capacitive fingers and work great on my phone and Boom touch screen.

Allow it to dry between coats.
It works pretty well.
What is the name of the product?

Aerostich says their elk skin ropers have something in glove for this. Though I touch my info screeen with other gloves. Not sure any different. Sometimes works better than other times. I have aero and other brands.

In general my fingers are really dry and sometimes I have trouble with touch screens.

We still have touchscreens, glvoes, and fingers. Why start a new thread? We even still have the bikes and GPSs from 4 years ago.

My phone is put away. My GPS is not. Some of us travel places we have not been before. Or go to once every couple of years. Some of us travel different routes to places we've been, but still need to be someplace at a specified time.

Stick to your well worn routes...

I just installed a product called GloveTacts. The gloves are a lightweight FootJoy wet weather glove. I want to be able to manipulate the Radar App on my iPhone while underway. This product works for my needs. Thanks for everyones input.

Cruise control and a short strech of road. Glove off, do the thing, glove back on. Otherwise its fingerless gloves.
