Hi all,

Does anyone wear driving gloves these days? I quite fancy some but there seems to be 2 ends of the spectrum in terms of cost. It's mainly because I don't want my alcantara wheel to end up all grubby and sticky etc.

Thanks

My Wife does, she's only 30. She is a redhead so has no ability to produce body heat so she wears them so her hand's don't get too cold.

Just don't, if you're worried about your steering wheel buy a cover from Halfords.

OP, if you're trying to flush out which PH'ers are serial killers, you'd be much better off perusing some of the NPE threads. There's a good dozen or so of the 'regulars' in there who fit the profile.

Having said that, these ones look up to the job - they would appear to offer protection from cable tie cuts as well as good wipe clean properties.

Driving gloves are nothing without a matching hat.

I wear gloves in winter with the roof down. The car had a thinnish wooden Moto Lita steering wheel with smooth gloss lacquer finish so gloves for both grip and warmth. I swopped it for a leather Moto Lita so grip was better but still cold in winter.
I wear winter golf gloves ( lightweight leather) or insulated if very cold.

But not as important as wearing the proper cravat.

I used to know a couple of very elderly chaps who wore gloves. Probably aged about 80.
I think they gave up with them as they seemed old fashioned......

He does have a cravatte. And a hatte. It's a dialect thing.

I think you'll find the correct term for plural Lexus is Lexuses.
