The Black Diamond Super HeavyWeight ScreenTap Gloves. This glove does indeed allow me to use my cell-phone screen as long as actual typing isn’t involved-fat fingers and small letters render voice text much more efficient. I also notice very little wear despite a couple months of near-daily use.

The goat-leather palm and 305-gram U|R Powered material lining each of the fingers work well for gripping the leash, cell phone, and steering wheel. On the casual-use side, I find them perfect for dog walks and school commutes in temperatures ranging from 25 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 to 7 degrees Celsius).

They are listed in their Liner Series Gloves category and weigh approximately 64 grams per pair (2.25 ounces), but you’d need a fairly voluminous shell mitten or glove to fit over the top. If Black Diamond made this material into a lounge jogger and hoody set, I’d buy two.
