Default Help! Gloves?

I'm so freaking frustrated. I've tried 4 different pair of MC gloves... I can't seem to text with any of them. Who's got gloves that you can text with on an iPhone or Android? I hate having to freaking put a glove in my mouth to pull it off while riding to respond to a text message.

I sense sarcasm here, but no smiley face?

You've never seen fingerless gloves? That would be the only way to get the "touch" you need.

Now "put away" that lifestyle that keeps you so connected that not being able to "glove text" has caused you to ask this question ... LOL

Are you kidding me, who in the hell would even think of texting while riding. I hope you are talking about when stopped for gas or something.

To answer your question do a search for "iPhone gloves." I work with a guy that has a pair that allow you to text with glove but don't recall the brand or if they would provide decent protection if you were in a crash.

I use fingerless gloves. Makes it easier to text while riding. Cruise control really comes in handy in this situation.

Ask your teenage daughter. They all seem to have it down.

My phone has voice to text, but I have to turn down the stereo while I text or the first paragraph of each text message is BOOM BOOM BOOM,

I keep a pencil in my pocket and use the eraser head to poke the little letters. Right.

Try latex gloves, that's what the doctors use when they go poking around in there.
