I've added these to a pair of winter gloves. Seems to work pretty well. I've also tried the NanoTips paint and it was OK but not as good as the stickers.
Nanotips worked for me very well, lasted a few months between applications. One bottle would last me years just doing one finger and thumb. That being said - just get touch gloves, they are very common now.
Nanotips is good for about 2 weeks for me. Better solution is Lee Parks Sumo gloves- doeskin works fine with my phone. Garmin zumo works with everything.
I tried both on first gen Scorpion SG3 gloves. The Nanotips made a rubbery coating. The Anyglove soaked into the leather. I had better experience with the Anyglove as the Nanotips would peel off after a while. The Anyglove would eventually stop working, but it lasted longer.
The key for me was multiple applications. Think of it as coats of paint. I used a hair dryer to dry between applications. I do wonder if the heat makes a difference.
I'd say I generate above average wear. Most of my riding is commuting so I ride frequently. I also help out as a motorcycle marshal at bicycle charity events, where I'll do 600 miles in a weekend a few times a year.
I applied it yesterday in two coats. It dried nicely in the heat of the day. It does soak into the leather and did make the finger tip slightly darker black. On two different pairs of glove it made a huge difference. One pair of Joe rocket gloves would activate the phone screen if I used a concentrated effort. Now it is a normal swipe. The other glove an alpenstares would not activate the screen at all and after the application a normal touch or swipe will work. I am very pleased. Time will tell how long it lasts for.
On another note. My wifes phone came with a plastic tip stylus which does not work with my phone scree at all. I did discover the rubber (?) tipped stylus works great. I may stick a small one in a pen holder on the dash some where for finer movements the glove can not handle.
