I've driven using gloves on occasion - but only when the temperature was very cold outside.

I wear a pair if Nomex flight gloves occasionally that I kept when I retired from the military. They are large and I take X large.
I put them on occassionally on long trips because when you flex your hands the flexible material gives your hands a good massage. They come in black and OD.

Gloves do help. I use both all weather golf/or baseball batters gloves. My hands can't take the cold any longer. I buy them at the end of summer sales and use them all winter.

I use my Nomex gloves needed for Land Speed Racing when I autocross as well, but that's it. I haven't used gloves for long drives.
Perhaps I'll get a scarf as well so I can look like Franco Bertonllini in "The Gumball Rally"

Such a great movie...sorry to hijack your thread....

I tried... But men in miatas and Volkswagens who spend far too much time doing their hair kept smiling at me...

This particular vendor runs a closeout on these gloves about once a year. The last time they did I "scarfed" up a couple more sets. Then sure enough they're still available. I doubt they'll be out of production anytime soon.
Our local Honda motorcycle dealer carries the very same gloves for ~ $30 a pair. As I mentioned earlier, they're so lightweight and comfortable, you can wear them year-round. Well except on the cycle in the winter...

I started driving with gloves when I had a 65 with a teak wheel to keep the oil from my hands off the wheel. Got so used to driving with good soft leather gloves that I never stopped and use them still today. I think they give you a better grip on the wheel, especially with aggressive driving.
that's what they are for, skinny, slick steering wheels.

Yes I do...
Yes,, I use soft leather unlined gloves. It's mostly because they feel good holding the steering wheel. I also use them because it will keep the steering wheel free from sweaty palms on those real hot days. My steering wheel on my 99 looks like new ,,

I sometimes use a pair of flying gloves. Best piece of kit we produce. They're made of very thin cape leather and very tactile .
