Default Driving Gloves

I am going to an all day driving course in a few weeks, and I was wondering what brand of driving gloves are prefered. As much as I don't want to wear them, I think it will help with gripping the wheel and shifter, especially when my hands start to sweat.

Please advise,

Chris

If you don't have to wear them, then save your money and don't worry about it. However, if you have to have them, I like the Simpson Talon Grip gloves. That's what I use when I drove race cars.

Never use them, unless I am competing where a whole flame retardent suit is required, then I wear the ones that are flame retardent. :crazy: I know, not much help to your question.

2nd vote for the Talon gloves-if the track is long and you have to do a lot of shifting when it is hot and humid, the gloves are a good investment. :cheers:
