Product Review Update: Showers Pass Crosspoint Waterproof Gloves with Touchscreen Compatibility
I had mostly positive feedback in my previous review of the Showers Pass Crosspoint Waterproof Gloves in 2019. However, I did mention one drawback ― the lack of touchscreen compatibility. This meant I had to remove a glove whenever I needed to use my phone. But now, Showers Pass has released an updated version that addresses this issue, making an already excellent product even better.
I put the touchscreen fingertips of these gloves to the test on my iPhone and laptop touchpad, and I was pleasantly surprised. The dexterity provided by the Crosspoint fabric and the silicon grippers on the palm allowed me to easily and securely handle my phone, take pictures, answer calls, and send texts.
Touchscreen sensitive fingers and silicon grippers allow for secure phone handling while taking pictures, answering calls, or texting.
The fabric used for these gloves features a three-layer construction. The outer layer is made of nylon, providing durability and protection. The middle layer has a breathable, waterproof membrane, ensuring your hands stay dry even in the wettest conditions. Finally, a wicking liner is next to the skin, which helps keep your hands comfortable and sweat-free.
This combination of materials results in a flexible glove suitable for a wide range of activities where keeping your hands dry is essential. Whether cycling, hiking, or paddling, these gloves protect your hands while maintaining hand mobility.
Bottom Line
Overall, the updated Showers Pass Crosspoint Waterproof Gloves with touchscreen compatibility have addressed the previous drawback and exceeded my expectations. They offer excellent dexterity, reliable waterproofing, and are versatile enough for various outdoor activities.

With regards to tubeless tire suggestion #7, I have had success with placing and inflating an inner tube inside the tire after taping to get rid of any bubbles that may form. Yes, it adds another (annoying) step to the process, and it may take overnight before you can put in your sealant. But, it ensures that the tape has no bubbles and reduces one of the reasons why the tire won’t inflate. In fact, for me it usually is the trick that assures that the tire will inflate after injecting the sealant.
