Default Touch screen compatible
I know itīs not H-D specific, but what are your experieces with gloves that are touch screen compatible?

Iīve tried a few pairs where it absolutely DIDNīT work.

Me too. I did buy some small squeeze bottles of a liquid (E-Bay) that works pretty well (better then the gloves).
It does need to be reapplied a couple times a summer though.

I have had mixed results with the touchscreen compatible gloves. Some worked well, others didn't. Oddly enough, I have a pair of gloves that are not advertised as being touchscreen compatible, and they work with my phone better than most of the ones that I have owned that were advertised as being touchscreen compatible.

I use a light pair of work gloves mostly to protect my hands from the rotting plastic on the grips, theses gloves work fine with the touch screen, they are not specifically designed to be touch screen capable. They are Red Wing branded gloves.
This is in regard to the Boom Audio touch screen on my bike, I don't know how they'd work with any other touch screen device.

Never thought I'd see the day when a HD rider forum discussed touch screen compatible gloves.

My experience with the touch compatible gloves is they have not worked, but my leather gloves, using my finger flat on the screen, works great.

Hehe hardcore dudes talking about touch screen gloves.

Works as well as fingers. I use the drops on my other gloves, and they work also. On my phones, GPS, iPod.

I wear the HD lightweight gloves during warm weather (Texas) and they work on both the Boom Box and Note 8 screen pretty well.
