Was out on my bike yesterday and trying to get pictures on my phone was a pain.

My gloves are great for warmth/rain/wind. But they are terrible for touch screens.

I've also had opposite.

Anyone know of a good combo that does both?

I don't care really if they are quite expensive if they are amazing

I have several touch - compatible gloves and tbh they're all 'fine' but none that I'd necessarily recommend. My suggestion would be could you get a few cheap touch styluses and keep one accessible when out on your bike? I do that when it's cold enough for thick gloves in winter and find it much easier to use a stylus than the big wobbly end of a glove finger.

I use fingerless gloves. They're gloves with the top of each finger chopped off so that just the top 1cm or so of each finger is showing (just enough for each fingernail to show). They were fine for me in 0C to -2C temps over the weekend in Liverpool, an unknown city for me where I was navigating with Google Maps as a pedestrian.

To be warm the gloves will be thick and useless for any accuracy with a touchscreen.

You could double up and wear a thin touchscreen glove under a nice thermal glove but you'll still have to stop and take them off.

This is probably the best suggestion. Never crossed my mind
 
Maybe some fairly thin but good gloves that work well with a screen then some fingerless over the top? I don't know how practical that would be but it was just a thought.

These might be worth considering -

100% briskers.

Hmm actually, they're probably not amazing for the phone. They are advertised as so, can't recall how good they are.
