Default Gloves & Touchscreen Electronic Devices

I found these mid weight thermal gloves on the net and thought it might be of interest to some of you that have trouble operating touchscreen devices like the iPhone, GPS units, etc. without removing your gloves.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried these yet nor do I have anything to do with the company or the product, they just looked interesting and reasonably priced.

I have a Garmin GPS and it works just fine with either my mesh gloves or heavy insulated leather gloves. Don't know if these new gloves would make any improvement. I suspect you don't want to be playing with an iPhone while you are riding down the road - I sure wouldn't.

This applies to newer devices that use actual glass for the touchscreen, unlike older devices that use a pressure sensitive screen.

Nope, I don't use the phone when riding, but it would be handy to not have to remove ones gloves when at a quick stop to check for messages.
