Driving Gloves - What do you wear?

[blueseven]

I'm in the market for some new driving gloves. Main purpose is to provide good grip on the standard Chimaera leather wheel. Anybody have any recommendations?

Is this a question or an advert? I can't tell.

What's with the faux sig?

Are you one of those Grifter wind-up-merchants fishing on our forum to provoke a laugh? In case you are the politically correct answer is the only gloves that get warn in my car are on the wifes hands as we're cruising topless at -3oC. This is a man's car, blue knuckles for me anyday!

Canary yellow shirt, horizon blue stay-crease action slacks, cap, polaroids, tan string-back driving gloves. It's a look that says "I'm in control of my vehicle".

Latex gloves and gas mask for me

[phillpot]

Marigolds, rubber on leather for a perfect grip everytime

In all seriousness, I do wear a pair of black leather gloves when it's seriously cold and I've got the top down. I think they look manly and not at all ghey. My wife isn't convinced.

Nor am I

Seems not many Chim owners use driving gloves.

Now if the thread were about golf gloves...

I did laugh.... you Chimp guy's... what are you like!!!... Gloves indeed...

I can only assume people never wear gloves because the roof is always up.

I'll confess in the depths of winter I have been known to don a set of old karting gloves to keep the wind off if I've got the top down.

clearly.

more seriously, i've not tried the more 'serious' jobs:

but i'd be interested in anyone who uses these, say on track days?

[dbv8]

All joking aside, i do wear a pair of sparcos on the track at times.
Part of the rules at York were to wear fireproof gloves, arm restaints and have a roll bar if i wanted to race with the roof down running 11.99 or quicker. At Shakey they ask you wear gloves if running with the roof down whatever times you run.

I think they are more of a hinderance than a driver aid to be honest.
