No gloves while driving. I just do not like the feel of gloves on and that included my DD 4X4 pick ups that I have driven since the early 1970s.
Even if the vehicle is sitting outside in -20F weather the first thing I do after I get inside to drive is get rid of gloves.

Op should of started one of those Treads were we can get a percentage of ( do you or don't you wear gloves)...
I'm sitting here...( relaxing and visiting my go to SITE) so here's my remarks.
If you compete in any track sports, most likely you wear gloves.
If you GOLF you may wear a single glove when driving.
Does it carry an advantage when in a absolute must mode... I would say yes.
Would I.... not really, unless I change professions and I now Race cars.
I concur with...PobreWey.
Peace.

Been wearing them sinc I was 22 in my Honda Civic. I wear them every day surprisingly without any “rituals”, It does no good to explain why I prefer to because those that choose not to obviously do not get any of the reasons why we do. I do not make fun of them for not wearing any, and find it interesting the direction most of them take it. I get my gloves from leather gloves online, either deer or lamb and marone.....are these things soft. Will send pics and more info to those interested ...great topic

I only wear gloves if it's cold, but Mr.owc6 regularly sports a Hawaiian shirt, oddly enough: jeans, and DRIVING MOCS. No driving gloves.
I must say the shoes make me wish I could wear menswear.
. They're beautiful.

For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would care in the least what someone else they don't even know wears or does.
After reading posts here for years it seems some wish we all drove the same model, color, and wheel style car, wear the same clothes, and sing the same song in the shower as everyone else on the planet.
Last time I checked my address it was in AMERICA. Land of the FREE, and home of the Corvette!

No. I never wear gloves on anything. Except the Harley if its kind of chilly. In my 23 years of driving I have never had a damaged steering wheel from touching it. Thought maybe thats what it was designed for.

Driving gloves are useful if you have a solid wood or plastic wheel AND you don't have power steering. With the coming of PS, gloves went riding off into the sunset...
Same old crap. A lot of people think other people should think and act like they do.
