Driving Gloves

bbs370z · 03-18-2016, 09:57 AM

I found out mizuno batting gloves are very good for driving. Good grip, I can actually navigate my touch screen nav/audio screen without taking them off and keeps my new atc deep corn wheel looking mint.

I'd gladly use some even though I think they are kinda lame. But my hands sweat, and its annoying.

I'm looking for lightweight, breathable gloves for the summer months. Something warmer for the winter months would be nice, too, but not too warm because Austin doesn't actually get cold. Nothing bulky.

I've thought about batting gloves and golf gloves and stuff, but they just don't look right for the most part.

If you have batting gloves at home try them out. They work real well for me. They are so light and thin you won't even notice wearing them.

i wear them because my cf steering wheel and wedding ring don't get along. plus it makes me feel like a sir! lol

Some folks like to use golf gloves as well...

A couple friends drive wearing Mechanix gloves. I have a pair too but already fouled up with oil and grease lol.

This is turning out to be a regional, functional, medical, and definitely fashion forward issue. I personally like the natural feel. If you're one of those who wear gloves because you feel safe wearing it, then you must have a nice supply of Trojans.

Different of course if you are in the track btw.

Thinking of getting a pair of gloves. But then I'd have to drive commando.. cause, you know.. offset the added weight. Gotta keep balance in the Force

My dad had them in the 80's in his old 911's and Audi's. As a kid they were just so bad-***!! Now...still bad-***!!! LOL!! Too hot in FL though.

Driving gloves, driving shoes, chaps, and a riding crop ftw!

Yeee-haaaaaaaa

vrizzo53 · 03-18-2016, 04:41 PM

lol wtf if I saw someone wearing driving gloves they would get a beating

Driving gloves were popular when sports cars had skinny steering wheels made of plastic or had wood rims. And no power steering. They had a definite function. In today's cars, you'll look like a fop.

Sly Nic · 03-18-2016, 05:55 PM

Could it be that all you people drive hardtops and stay warm all the time?

In a roadster, your hands get cold. To suggest that some one is a fop because they like to keep their hands warm I find to be a bit....shall we say...out there?

Spooler · 03-18-2016, 06:08 PM

LOL, I wore them in the 80's when it was cool to wear them. The ones that only cover half your fingers. Also protects your knuckles if you needed to get out and punch someone in the mouth. Like I said, 80's.
