Need comfortable warm driving gloves

mutley74

Thanks for replies. Interesting how some people dont mind what they wear and can drive.

I bought these last year (£20 fromn field and trek) , which although they are flexible just dont have the grip with my citroen steering wheel.

I want something that is a tight fit but flexible so my hands dont get sore/tired (45min drive at 6am to work) especially in the winter days.

I will check out the links above. Do the riding gloves come with any neoprene/rubberised parts on the contact parts for fingers and palm?

I wear thinsulate gloves, sold by aldi at the moment. They're sort of mock brushed suede, quite grippy, don't slip on the wheel, and warm.

Unless you also wear a flat cap and smoke a pipe, why do people wear gloves for driving?

My heater keeps me nice and warm

to keep my hands comfortable and avoid joint pains from extended holding of a cold steering wheel. Shame they dont make heated steering wheels!:rotfl:

How does it warm up?

The car heater is nowhere near it, and it's a lot bigger than my hand, so usually all that happens is my hands freeze.

OK I take your point but it will warm up because the inside of the car is warm and will warm from your body temperature.

I can honestly say that I have never noticed my steering wheel to be cold after the inside of my car has warmed up in the morning

Wait until you get older as well.
Then you'll know what we're talking about.
