Farkle Fingers will make any pair of gloves touch-screen friendly. Just pull the Farkle Fingers over the tips of your gloves and you'll be able to use any touch-screen device. Make calls with a smartphone, navigate a GPS, or change your MP3 player settings, all without having to take your gloves off. Farkle Fingers are stretchable. They fit any size glove and will stay on the glove while riding.

They work great with the off road gloves I use them with. They are sensitive enough to use the I phone for a GPS and can even punch numbers in. very happy. One minor thing they attach to velcro and can come off while riding and fiddling with your jacket. I have lost a couple. Stitching them on the glove will fix this.

They work, but need glue to stay on a glove.
They work, but need glue to stay on a glove.With a product this simple, there's really only kind of a pass/fail rating possible. I just about gave it a 2 start rating, because they don't stay on gloves, and that's really kind of basic functionality for something that is supposed to turn a glove into something you can use with a touchscreen.I chose three stars, because WHEN THEY'RE IN PLACE, the material does actually allow touch screen use without having to have any conductive contact with your skin. You don't have to have holes in your gloves, or run a lead along the glove and inside the wrist opening, to let conductive wire or something touch your skin. And since I haven't found anything better -- though I stopped looking after getting these -- I do want people to see and consider them. I tell my friends about them when it comes up, and simply add the information I include here.I got them onto my heavy-duty winter gloves, and they just rolled up and off on their own. Repeatedly, every one of them from more than one package. It's a flaw of their design; the elastic isn't nearly tight enough, even for thick fingers. This is a VERY common complaint in the Amazon reviews about this product.Since I don't want to put any holes in my glove surfaces, ruining their waterproof protection, I glued these things onto my glove's fingertips. I used some sort of all-purpose clear rubbery adhesive, and eventually had to renew a bit of it near the bottom by the openings. But they still worked with the adhesive -- and sadly, I've not found any better alternatives to these Farkle Finger glove tips.Of course, if you're using knit gloves, there's no harm at all in sewing these fingers onto the gloves because they're already full of holes and already susceptible to soaking.I've also had the material of these finger tips wear through with some time, and only had them for the winters of 2022 and 2023 so far. Peel and rotate to get some more use out of them, but that's a pretty disappointing. They're not quite just "disposable", and they shouldn't be anywhere near that; you shouldn't have to consider the question. Paying $20 every couple of years for glove add-ons is unreasonable.======SO, in summation, they do work to let you use touchscreens with gloves (or on the end of any kind of stick as a stylus, or other such uses), and that's the *most* important thing. They just don't stay on gloves well, which is pretty critical. Glue or stitching mostly solves that problem. The description says "one size fits all", and that is not true, not in a relevant sense; they may not stay well on smaller fingers, and they do not stay well on my thickly-insulated heavy winter gloves for pretty large male hands. And priced around $20 for only four glove tips, they're more expensive than is truly reasonable.When I have to replace these, or want more for additional fingers or other sets of gloves, I'll definitely consider them as I shop around to find possibly-better alternatives. Middle-of-the-road three stars.

It works....
This product is not the final answer to operating a GPS on a bike, but it works. For now. The touch sensitive surface area is too large, making it impossible to select smaller areas. It allows to select large buttons, but, for example, selecting a phone number on an iPhone is a challenge. Clicking away annoying alerts such as "could not activate cellular network" works like a charm.Biggest gripe I have: the fingers do not securely attach to the glove fingers. I've used them with textile gloves and leather gloves, and I've already lost one (from a slippery leather glove). Riding around constantly checking if the finger is still there is too much Angst for my taste.I've also lost a second one, but that was just me losing it.A note about the seller: They are are great! I contacted them simply to alert them to my concerns, and they volunteered to replace the lost fingers, both of them. They also said they weren't aware of anyone else losing one of their products in mid-ride.PS: the name! PLEASE. Maybe its my language background, but Farkle Fingers jus doesn't sound right.

Very useful...
While these do work as advertised, I wish they would put a second pull tab on the other side to help pull these down on the finger. When on the road, if these start to slip off (and they will), it's not very easy to get them back on. There is a pull tab on the backside but that just pulls the backside down and not the front.Also be careful when using Velcro around these- they will stick to the Velcro and pull right off. Finally, when removing your gloves, grab the glove by your middle, ring, and little, fingers and don't include your index finger or, as you guessed, you'll pull these things right off.They give you 4 in a pack, presumably for the index finger and thumb of both hands, but I find that it works just peachy on the two index fingers. Bring the other two along with you on your trip for when you lose one.

Wouldn't stay on...
Even though they went on the gloves snug, they wouldn't stay on. After a while, they were sticking off my index finger about a half inch. I threw them away. I suppose if you wanted to go through the trouble of sewing them on or gluing them on, they'd be fine.

Works well.
These work well over my leather gloves.They cover my second knuckle with gloves on.I pull them on firmly and so have a reasonably small surface to touch the phone with and it's good enough for playing Ingress, writing on my phone, etc.When pulled on like this they conform to the shape of your glove so you can imagine using one by using your own glove and decide if you have a reasonably small surface that you could touch your phone with.I was pleased to get four of them. I expected two. In retrospect I see the description says 'pair of gloves' - four fingers.They do not have the fit problem of a finger glove that has the top cut square. If you see any finger tip thing - make sure the top is not cut with 90 degree edges.
