Looking good with the 116718!
I've never owned a pair of driving gloves so no pics here.

You don't know what your missing! Its an uncharted area of accessorising, most are unaware of the many fashion possibilities.

No driving gloves here, but these PIG Alpha Touch gloves are the best I've ever had for doing just about anything. Not made for super cold temperatures but my steering wheel is heated lol :).

They're great for all activities but especially for those we don't discuss here.

These are the only kind of driving gloves that I have. They're for my karts and the occasional guest drive in someone's race car.

OK, forget the nice watch, great car. You have a heated steering wheel? Now I am impressed! I want one!

If you have a vintage sports car with a wood wheel and no power steering, driving gloves make a substantial difference. It sounds dumb but I used to own a Ferrari Daytona with a huge wheel and really heavy steering and the driving gloves really made a different experience, even on shortish drives.

I have never really found the need on my newer cars, even the ones without power steering.

I thought the same thing and I don't own driving gloves (yet) but I work in a field that interacts with....let's just say people with more birthdays than me....and I see the damage to the backs of there hands that is clearly caused from the sun. I then sit in the car with the backs of my hands getting blasted through the windshield and I think, man, I need some driving gloves.

I'd like to see what the guys on the forum wear to get an idea of what to buy. Thanks!

Fortunately UV rays do not penetrate windshields so no need to worry about gloves. You'll only make your hands hotter. Although out of your car and in the sun your hands are very exposed and sun lotion should be applied.
