What gloves (if any) do you wear while driving?

I like to wear a pair of gloves while driving during the winter months.
mine: (the Black ones)

Why use gloves? I can't stand anything getting between my hands and the feel of the steering wheel in my daily...

I have poor circulation and my hands really suffer from the cold during the winter months.

My hands are actually cold sitting here in the office typing this

Aswell as wearing gloves for driving I like to use a nice moisturising balm to protect my hands from the daily routine.

Just for the LOLs.

wouldnt you be better off with a heated steering wheel ?

[Cock Womble 7]

These.

None. real men shiver and swear whilst trying to warm up their hands on a heater thats blowing cold air, after getting frostnip from all the snow and ice on their hands after clearing the windows with a broken scraper. They then catch flu and type this whilst wearing more layers than the michelin man.



So how much did those gloves cost?

Whilst driving I wear a pair of string backed driving gloves and a smile. And that's all.

I wear these, but for some reason I have a few problems changing gears...

I've just got brown leather ones. Only really use them cos if I dont my skin would probably stick onto the gear leaver and rip it off... Gets very cold in the winter.

A couple of times I've forgotten my leather gloves, and made do with golf glove in my glove box. Worked a treat.

Maybe your gear stick is too small?

[hidetheelephants]

I bought a pair of cheap black leather ones that look a bit like this from Lidl; they keep my hands toasty and I feel terribly louche, like a baddie in an episode of the Persuaders. I probably look like a rapey murderer or a paedo though, so swings and roundabouts.

Edit; they also help grip the wheel if I'm feeling feeble.

I have a pair of camouflage Sidi motorbike gloves in the boot of the '5 but they don't really get worn unless it's cold enough to have to scrape ice off the windscreen and even then, only until the heater kicks in. They work very well and have grippy pads designed to grip onto bike handlebars which is nice but I find my hands get too hot quickly with the furnace-like heater Mazda grafted into the car so don't wear them much.

Just bought some of these on a recommendation on an old PH post. I've got a bit of arthritis and in the cold weather my fingers don't have the strength to grip the steering wheel properly! These are thin enough to allow me to use every control perfectly well, yet keep my hands nice and warm. Good grip on the inside of the fingers/palms too.

None, My XF has a heated steering wheel.
