These are the same flying gloves as the Nomex Flying Gloves which have been worn by American military aviators since the 1960’s, except they have a conductive fabric sewn into the finger tips to allow for use with touch screen devices.Touch Screen Compatible Flying GlovesThese are the same as the regular Flying Gloves which have been worn by American military aviators since the 1960’s, except these have a conductive fabric sewn into the tips (of both the left and right glove) of the middle finger, index finger, and thumb to allow for use with touch screen devices.The palms are made from soft capeskin (hair sheep) that gives you the fine sense of touch you need for flying. The back is made from soft knit of fire-resistant aramid fiber that stretches so the gloves fit snugly. They remain soft and pliable when they get wet. You can even wash them in warm water and hand soap.
