Billy. Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 If you find yourself having to take your gloves off to answer calls, these gloves might change things They've got silver embedded into the fingertips, which matches the electrical conductivity of the human skin, meaning you don't need to end up with numb fingers. There are a few makes on the market, but I think the favourite is The North Face - 'Etip' gloves Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Not a bad idea...how much do they go for? I sometimes manage to open the phone with the trigger finger bit of the glove which is a bit thinner...... If not I can use my nose to unlock the phone.....got a bit of a beak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
