Fall/Winter Gloves
Are there any fall/winter gloves (i.e. full finger cover) that are touchscreen compatible?

up here in the Great White North, I'm pretty certain I've seen some downhill ski gloves marketed with this.

It's not winter here yet, but I found one cool weather glove that worked, most of the time. Not sure which one it is right now.
Are you near a good bike shop or REI where you can take your device and try some gloves out?

Fingerless gloves that convert into mittens. Not only are they compatible with touch-screens, they utilize the layering principle for comfort management. I been depending on these for 20+ years of outdoor Winter activities.

I have a couple of pairs with the touchscreen tip. Worked fine at first, then after a number of rides and a few washes, did not work any more.

Look at the glove system from Dissent 133. They're my favorite so far. I live in Minnesota and I ride on the road until early December with these. Being from the frozen north, we're sort of have an obsession with gloves. I find that a underlayer of a glove coupled with a over-shell is the overall best method - it's warmer and it's less bulky. The layering process works far better than a single glove. The Dissent 133 set up does work with touchscreens. That all said, using a glove with a touchscreen is never going to be as good as a finger.
What I'm doing this year and seems like it will work super well is to use the Dissent 133 shells over the Castelli Perfetto and Perfetto Lite gloves. I really like how these work.

For winter/cold temp riding I prefer regular mitts. I have never tried bar mitts, but that is a thought. The mitts I use are made by Hestra. I want to say they are C-Zone models? They are insulated and pretty waterproof.
The mitts are good for me because all my fingers are together. I have circulation issues in my hands and move my hands around on the bars constantly to different positions. If I am out for a very long ride (more than an hour or so) I will put hand warmer packets in the mitts also. Even if it is in the 20's I will rotate the mitts on/off as they will get pretty toasty with the warmers. Having toasty-roasty mitts to poke my hands in to when they get cold is a blessing.
I found some rubbery insulated gloves called Ninja Ice gloves that I also wear a fair amount. They have individual fingers and are waterproof. However, I can't wear them for long because of the circulation problems. So I normally just go with the mitts - without hand warmer packets at first, unless it is real cold. If my hands start quitting on me its time for the hand warmer packets...

On this topic, I've generally used two solutions depending on the temperatures:
-- For temperatures in the ranges of 0C-5C (32F to 41F), I found myself using fingerless gloves that turn into mittens, e.g. similar to these - https://www.amazon.com/Igloos-Mens-S...ef=sr_1_1_sspa
-- Once it get much below 0C, I switch over to heavier real mittens I might use for skiing. For purposes you describe I might be tempted to try light gloves for short periods I have my hands out of the mittens

I’m a sound engineer doing semi open air theatre in the winter. I’ve tried gloves with ipad screens but found them frustratingly impossible. Try a stylus pen?
