driving gloves

roadbike56

Sometimes I wear my cycling gloves right after a bike ride. But I usually take them off after a few miles. Does that count?

If you're leaned over far enough to scrape your knuckles, you're probably in a situation where gloves aren't going to help a whole lot.

No, no and never. When I was a teenager in England many moons ago, they were considered "the thing" for posers, as we called them. Nowadays real competition drivers wear the fire resistant kind.

But, I have to admit to wearing gloves occasionally - when it is 20F or lower. And they are designed to keep my fingers warm.......C5's don't have heated steering wheels - or heated seats for that matter. Even cloth seats would be a big improvement over leather in winter - and summer! Not to mention you would not slide around anywhere near as much as you do with the C5's leather seats. My wife's Subaru Wagon cloth seats are rather better from a driving perspective that the C5 seats - grippier, more support, and heated too.

Not anymore, track racing of course, it's a good item to have as someone mentioned palms and fingers get mighty sweaty bare handed.

I have given it serious consideration again just because what I spent for an Apsis steering wheel. Otherwise I wouldn't wear them.

Toonces didn't wear them and neither do I.

I like the idea of driving gloves and might have a pair if the weather wasn't so hot here. I could only wear then maybe a few months a year with getting all sweaty.

Back in the day when I did club racing, my wife bought me an expensive pair of leather driving gloves thinking it was quite the treat - - -later traded out for Simpsons- competition only.

Only use them when driving the C4, so I can avoid having to recover the steering wheel for a couple more years ...

I wear my leather gloves whenever am driving. I like the feel of leather.

I actually saw a guy putting them on to use his riding mower - I LITERALLY LOL on that one. Couldn't help myself - he didn't appreciate that a whole lot.

When it's 15 degrees out down here, and your starting off for work or someplace else, the leather wheel is frozen and it makes you joints in both hands ache. You can wait till the whole cabin warms up, but other than gloves your steering with two fingers of both hands. Putting up with the freezing knuckle pain is just male vainness'. If they had been smart enough to stick a pair of gloves in their pocket would make them "Less Manly" Foolish.


I have a pair and and a second if I forget the first set and I don't feel any less manly about wearing them.


What a load of crap !

Best mod yet... Driving gloves. Goes great with convertibles, especially for moonlight drives with the top down.

I'd like to own a pair. My hands get very cold easily due to severe frostbite when I was very young. Today, 55f-65f here on the coast. It was great, except my hands got very stiff and cold. An hour and a half later, they are still trying to warm up.

A thin supple glove with no knuckle holes would be perfect for these cooler days on the coast.

I live in SoCal, and before that southern Mississippi, and before that Miami, and before that south Alabama... you get the idea.

No gloves for me
