  Hi all
  
  Can anyone recommend any winter type gloves that will also allow me to use my smart phone - my cheapy ones weren't up to the job of keeping warm this morning plus I have to take them off to use the phone
  
  Thanks
  
  Jim

  
  No exactly winter gloves, but my Endura Dexter gloves allow me to use my iPhone with no issues.

  No mention of Jedi smartphone qualities on their website though.

  I find I can just about use my Aldi gloves with my Desire, can answer, start endomondo, couldn't text or dial a number though.

  I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

  Do not use you phone whilst cycling , concentrate on the road

  Ok I'm about to save you some money. :idea:
  
  I use my nose (yes my nose) to launch endomondo or whatever before I set off. Its easier than you think and no need to remove gloves.
  
  It's probably not an ideal solution for sending texts or whatever but do that in the house or when you get to work.

  I bought some of those poncy techno gloves for my iphone last year and was showing off to my child in his non tecchy cheapo fleece gloves.
  
  And he then took the iphone off me and showed that his worked just as well. He had been making snowballs though - so maybe fleece needs to be damp. Pah.

  - what Cyberknight said - why would you need to use the phone when on your bike ? Unless its an emergency,andif it was cold hands would be the last thing to worry about.
