Review on ๐Ÿงค Alpinestars Apex Drystar X-Large Men's Street Motorcycle Gloves - Black by John Shitifano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MAY work on some but not all touchscreen phones

These gloves look like they are well constructed, fit well, are comfortable and overall feel like they would my hands while driving keep warm. Definitely thicker and a little bulkier than summer riding gloves (but I think the extra insulation is why we want them in winter). "NOTE: Additionally, the attachment label attached to the gloves lists a feature in the "Features" list"Swiping Finger" with an image of a gloved index finger touching the screen. TEST: So I first tested the glove with my iPhone SE and the touchscreen DOESN'T WORK with the new Alpinestars glove, I tried to fully dip my index finger into the tip of the glove and it just didn't work, in the second test I did however my Samsung uses Note 5 (which I mount on a motorcycle, this device I actually want to use with these gloves) and the touchscreen WORKS beautifully with the new Alpinestars glove.My Samsung Note 5 also has a waterproof punk case which is a Adds clear plastic protective case Anywhere on the touchscreen where on my iPhone SE I only have the raw screen without the protective film that we rk-side touch screen covers. So the conclusion is that these gloves may or may not work on your phone, you just have to try them. I recommend trying this feature first (if that's why you bought it) before cutting labels so that when you return them they remain in factory condition for resale.

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • So far so good
