Driving Gloves
I know, I know, a rather controversial subject. Not sure if this should be here or in the "tech" section so I will see how this goes. As I did a search and produced a long list of threads that have entirely nothing to do with driving gloves, I thought I would ask. Are any of you using them out there and what brand do you recommend. No budget restrictions, just looking for a good, high quality pair. As I have the black leather wheel with white stitching, I would like too keep it looking nice and also eliminate that slight tacky/sticky feeling of the wheel after driving for a bit. Thanks for your time and let the bashing begin...

I'm fond of GI pilot/aircrew gloves... usually run about $30 a pair... shooting (shotgun) leather gloves are excellent as well....

A couple of years ago this company came to Philadelphia, they make custom made clothing, shoes, and yes gloves. My girlfriend (who says she can never buy me anything because I buy everything I want), wanted to get me a gift, so we went they measured my hands and made me two pair (brown/black) of driving gloves. They were insanely expensive and I have worn them a grand total of once. They ended up making the wheels feel slippery, could be the leather they used was just a little too soft.
