The basic premise is that all touch screen devices rely on the connectivity between your finger and the screen (can you tell I’m not technical!). What I do know is that it’s annoying, and I’ve just seen a fabulous way to resolve the problem. The gloves have what’s called an etip finger to allow you to use touch screens, there is also a gripper palm to ensure you don’t drop your ipod off the chair lift!

The etip gloves are not available online in many places, but you can buy them from Cotswold Outdoor for £22.
