You can pick up a stylus pen for the touch screen for under $10 and it would work better then a glove finger.

...there is a problem with the leather bleeding color when they get wet and making my hands all black...


Based on this blurb from Outdoor Research: "TouchTec™ Supple, durable, and water- and wind-resistant leather that utilizes patent-pending nanotechnology allowing accurate use of touch-screen mobile devices."

It is reasonable to suppose that the OR nanotechnological-dependent  improvement has the side effect of leaching dye, which could stain the screen if you took your glove off.  Lovely.  So I assume you do not take off your gloves for screen use.

Not true for my phone.  There are 3 major buttons that my S Note stylus pen can't activate -- using them to push the button fails also.  Besides, I'd loose the darn pen off the chair.

I agree...I was given the gloves to try and see how they worked. Skinning gloves like these shouldn't leach dye as sweaty hands are pretty much a given when skinning. It's a major problem with these gloves... The dye does not come off easy I can tell ya! My hands are like an old time auto mechanics with hygiene issues.

I'm still grateful to the person who gave them to me to try..but I gotta report upon their attributes truthfully.

I think I'll write OR a letter...if they get enough people complaining about them..maybe they'll do something about it. ;)
