Would appreciate a recommendation for a set of gloves that work well with an iPhone screen. I bought these and they are terrible. Barely work.

I use a few different gloves depending on temperature.

- Nike Tech Fleece or Head Touchscreen (both running gloves) when temps are in the 30s.
- Seirus Soundtouch Heatwave or The North Face Etip from 0 to 30.

All work really well in my experience.

Thank you for this.

I just ordered a different model from Seirus. Will report back if I have an issue. Cheers.

I use the North Face e-tip gloves. They’re not too bulky meaning you can actually use the phone as normal. They’re on the slim side so I wouldn’t recommend it in bitterly cold weather but during the winter months they do enough to keep your hands warm.

I purchased a new pair of Seirus Heatwave gloves yesterday. Unfortunately, the finger tips do not activate the screen, only the thumbs. Not sure if it is a defective pair, or if Seirus changed something in manufacturing. My older pairs works fine.
 
I personally have never had great luck with finding warm touchscreen compatible gloves. Either they didn’t work well or the touchscreen compatibility didn’t last more than a few months to a year before it started getting spotty or altogether stopped working. I’ve since switched to these gloves by The Heat Company and couldn’t be happier. They’re quite warm, wind proof, have a pocket for warmers if you need the extra warmth, and flip back to allow full exposure of the thumb and/or fingers for touchscreen use when needed.
