There\u2019s a balance to be found with cycling gloves<\/a>. Presumably, if you\u2019re using them at all then it\u2019s cold enough to do so. They need to protect your hands from wind, rain and low temperatures, without being bulky and impeding your control of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it\u2019s highly irritating to have to take your glove off to use the phone. The amount of times I\u2019ve done this, and the glove inevitably falls into a puddle while I\u2019m faffing about, or my fingers become too cold to use the phone anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer? Touchscreen cycling gloves. A must-have for anyone who wants to use their phone quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you use touchscreen gloves for the first time, you might wonder how you ever functioned without them. Most people\u2019s smartphones are usually within a short reach, and often mounted on the bike<\/a> when cycling. A phone is no longer just a phone. We use them now for virtually everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, how do touchscreen gloves actually work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capacitive touchscreens (used in smartphones and tablets) react to a small electrical charge when touched with a finger. Essentially, they\u2019re using the electrical properties of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Touchscreen gloves have conductive material, usually on the thumb and index finger, but sometimes sewn into the whole glove. This material absorbs the electric current coming off the screen, working just as your finger would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![](\"https:\/\/discerningcyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/sweat-free-cycling-in-line-2.jpg\")
