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 frown

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.

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'.

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

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 smile

yes

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.

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.
