Texting Gloves

[Rchawks]

With cold weather here I realized keeping the hands warm and still being able to adjust the screen controls will require some kind of gloves or hand protection. Do any of you use (texting) gloves?

I don’t have texting gloves but my son bought me some leather fingerless gloves last Christmas, they cover all but the tips of my fingers leaving the rest toasty warm.

That's a good idea!

Amazon has a number of texting gloves. Make sure they’re a tight fit in the fingers. Most under $20.

I carry a soft tip stylus in my case, not much luck with gloves that are for devices when the touch area is so small.

I just bought a pair of those "Texting" gloves. Haven't had any real opportunity to test them in the field yet. A quick trial when I received them showed that they do work, but I wonder about how precise they will be when it comes to some of the small icons on the GO 4 App's screen.

I know on the iPad mini 5 the stylus option doesn't work, wish it did. Thanks for the input guys. Someone I know offered to let me try theirs so see what I thought.

Hello RCHawks:

I use a pair of light weight full fingered mountain biking gloves that have “texting” pads on the tips of index fingers and thumbs. They work moderately well but it is important to have your index finger or thumb fully at the end of the glove - thus you might try a slightly smaller size. I like the lightweight nature as they provide good feel on the sticks. Here’s a link to the gloves I’m using:

Men's Divide Glove

We love a minimalistic long-finger glove for summer mountain biking and gravel riding. Combining a synthetic leather for durability and easy care with a lightweight polyester mesh backing for breathability in hot weather, this mountain bike glove is built to last. The closure-less design reduces...

I did not initially choose them for piloting - they are my regular mountain biking gloves which I tried for piloting while out on a ride. However they worked well enough that I bought a separate, clean pair for the flight bag. If you ride mountain bikes in the winter you might appreciate the special nature of “clean”.....

Thank you Howard, I'll check this out. I like the sound of the usefulness of the gloves!

Besides the gloves, I put a small magnifying glass with a touch tip on a small bungee cord. So if I need to be precise, it's an option. I fly my Air 2, with an iPad Mini 5.

Gloves? I don't even wear shoes.

So you're the reason God made Oklahoma! Went to Naval Aviation School in Norman, many moons ago. With all that red clay, we were better off barefoot
