Which driving gloves?

[onward]

I'm looking for a pair of driving gloves (not race gloves) that will keep my hands warm and give me really good grip.
Aero screen driver with half doors - there's quite a few out there ! I quite like the Hackett ones - and I remember seeing a picture of Mr Hackett with his 7?

SORRY bit of a boring post

I bought a pair of thick gloves in Asda for 6 pounds and they work very well top down in a cold breeze.

don't have any grip problems with a smooth leather wheel.

Thinsulate is the brand.

I have some Thinsulate ones too. £3 from a petrol station! Keep hands warm and grip fine. (Suede steering wheel)

pair of race gloves - sparko, mine are - good close fit, good grip, warm. Not the cheapest option tho.

I use these.

You need ultra feel and control in a Caterham. I have bespoke gloves made from the very best condoms when I go for a blat.

It's just gloves!

Mountain biking gloves are excellent- grippy and warm. And not expensive - I dare say Hackett (a name I loathe for completely illogical reasons ) are ..ahem..'reassuringly expensive'.

yeah ! £150 !!

might try a condom on each finger?

I tend to use go-karting gloves which are cheaper than "race" gloves

[scubadude]

I was directed to these by a friend (who golfs, these are made by a golfing company, I do not golf- it is Wrong)- http://www.bionicgloves.com/men/men-driving

I have no experience or feedback to give other than my opinion when I saw the page, which was- "Looks less sh*t than the normal unfortunate mating of a cycle mit and a gardening glove"

If you don't want to drive around with SPARCO across your knuckles (and if you aren't in a pimped Corsa going around Lakeside's car parks at 3AM why would you?) these might be a more subtle option.

Really grippy, and only £18. Good for -22c in my experience

I use these in winter...they're perfect!

I got some alpinestars karting gloves on sale. About £25-£30 iirc. They don't look too racy but give great grip and keep the wind off my mitts.

This post makes my skin itch.

Dear oh dear...bit thin skinned are we? It's somebody's own website , it's perfectly innocuous , it has some nice pictures and what on earth is your problem with that ?

I used RAF flying gloves with thermal inners, you can get Army flying Corp ones in green if you want to look less Biggles.
I do confess to having 2 RAF flying jackets which I do wear and a grow bag which I don't.
