Driving Gloves

HEK · 03-18-2016, 08:51 AM

In the winter on long drives I have a pair of driving gloves it makes you look distinguished kind of like a Brit snob...lol

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.

It's pointless for me to consider them now. My steering wheel has hand sweat and everything all on it.

What's a good solution to clean up the wheel?

I use a warm water on paper towel.

once had to use watered down rubbing alcohol

I am tempted to buy gloves for summer months cause I get sweaty hands but then I'd get weird tan lines on my hands/wrists. plus it can get hot...

I already get the weird tan line on my wrists from golf (and it's just one hand, since one glove is used).

edub370 · 03-18-2016, 09:09 AM

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

Hotrodz · 03-18-2016, 09:13 AM

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

bbs370z · 03-18-2016, 09:15 AM

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
