Conductive thread is used to sew a "patch" on the index finger in your glove. Pretty smart idea! Anyone try this or anything similar?

FWIW. Got my niece a pair of isotoners for Christmas with touch pad fingers, she said they didn't work very well and ended up returning them.

Specialized has several models with their 'Wire Tap' technology in the thumb and index finger. Have them at the shop. I usually just breath on my glove first or use my nose. Tongue

I had a pair that I bought from REI that were touch screen compliant and they work great.  I tried to find them on their website but couldn't.  If you look closely a lot of gloves are now "Touchscreen Compatible."  Hope the thread works too though.

Ride to have fun and enjoy the scenery, not to set records…

Packed and ready to roll…

Step one: ride a lot
Step two: ride a lot with one pair of gloves
Step three: wait for a hole
Step four: touch your screen until your heart's content
