Using Motorcycle Gloves for Touchscreen

In today’s digital age, almost every rider carries a smartphone or GPS device; whether it’s an iPhone, Android, or another touchscreen gadget. These devices are essential for navigation, communication, and entertainment on the road. However, using them while wearing traditional motorcycle gloves can be a hassle, especially in cold weather when you don’t want to expose your hands to the elements just to swipe or tap. That’s where touchscreen compatible motorcycle gloves come into play. In this blog, we’ll explore why these gloves are essential, how to identify touchscreen friendly gloves, and what to look for when making a purchase.

• Cold Weather Convenience: One of the main reasons to use touchscreen-compatible gloves is the convenience they offer in cold weather. Imagine having to pull over, remove your gloves, and expose your hands to freezing temperatures just to use your phone. Touchscreen-compatible gloves let you keep your hands warm while staying connected on the road.
• Universal Need: Nowadays, almost everyone uses a smartphone, whether it’s an iPhone, Android, or another touchscreen device. From checking directions to responding to urgent messages, having gloves that work with your touchscreen is incredibly useful for all types of riders.
• Safety on the Go: Safety is paramount when riding, and touchscreen-compatible gloves allow you to interact with your devices without taking your eyes off the road for too long. Whether you need to adjust your GPS, skip a song, or answer a call, you can do so quickly without the need to remove your gloves.
• Enhanced Connectivity: With the rise of apps for navigation, music, weather updates, and communication, staying connected has become a significant part of the riding experience. Touchscreen-compatible gloves ensure that you can easily access these features, making your ride more enjoyable and less interrupted.

MATERIALS

Conductive Material on Fingertips: The Spada Motorcycle Gloves feature a special coating that makes them touchscreen compatible. This coating is a conductive compound containing materials like metallic nanoparticles, which enable the gloves to conduct electricity or heat, allowing seamless interaction with touchscreen devices.

Not all touchscreen gloves are equally sensitive. Some might require more precise movements or firmer presses. If possible, test the gloves before purchasing to ensure they meet your needs, or look for reviews from other riders.

To resolve this you can increase your device’s touch sensitivity. Some smartphones offer a “glove mode” which enhances responsiveness for gloves.
