pick up an expensive pair of golf gloves. they are made for right and left. buy one of each. very soft will increase 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times as well. a good helmet is also advisable. go to a Harley Dealer for the Helmet, maybe a Golfsmith's or a good pro shop for the gloves.

I have had my current gloves now for several years, and don't remember the source. I know I did a google search and found many places carry them. I have raced and driven Corvettes for thirty years and would never drive without my gloves; they go on automatically just like my seat belt. I get a kick out of the turkeys who put down driving gloves; they must be very inexperienced drivers!

So what you're saying is everyone who has moved forward and no longer thinks it's the 50's is a turkey. Well gobble gobble.

Last I saw driving gloves was on some tool at Cars and Coffee. He was driving a red Ferrari and even had driving shoes to park his car and drink coffee and have a donut.

I take it from the number of homophobic responses that very few of you even read the first post as to why I am looking for a pair in the first place. It has nothing to do with antiquated style, trying to impress anyone, or support some inner complex of grandeur. The oil/sweat from my hands will discolor the stitching (white) and makes the wheel feel "tacky" while driving for longer periods of time out where I live (high desert area). While I always have the AC blasting, it can never be cool enough for me. Anyway, thanks for those that attempted to provide me some direction and I know return you to your regularly scheduled immaturity.

I'm an escapee from OT having a little fun. And I ain't phobic about driving gloves, but guys with really sweaty hands scare me a little.

Opinions
To Quote Dirty Harry Callahan, "Well opinions are like *******s, everybody has one."
Some may like driving gloves some may not. Some may like to have theirs match their skirt. When I wear mine in the cold months I prefer classic Black thin leather gloves.

I personally have never saw the need to use a pair of driving gloves, but to each their own.
