So, I noticed that on long trips my hand start getting sticky. I think it's because I'm cornering harder so it's nervous sweat

In any case, was wondering whether folks have a good set of driving gloves to recommend. I have some leather ones but I find they're not very breathable.

gloves and the gloves are highly rated but seemed more oriented at track than at touring drives.

Has anyone found a pair that's breathable for warm California weather?

 

Someone suggested this to me: golf gloves. Buy one for the right hand, one for the left, and you got a nice pair of breathable, soft leather gloves! Haven't actually tried it, but as an avid golfer who wears golf gloves all the time, it does make sense. Price range from $8 to $30 per hand. Tip for keeping your golf glove happy: put them back in their case, will be softer and last longer.

 

Plenty of canyon and backroads to do spirited driving.

Just kidding.

But seriously if your hands are slipping get them or a steering wheel cover.

 

It's so 80's that in the modern day is dousche baggy

 

The F-Type is 60s, 70s and 80s. Today everyone is driving Nissan Leafs, Priuses, Boxters, Teslas and lame crap like that.

 

p.s. If you own a $100,000 550 HP car with a 7 cubic foot trunk and 2 seats, you are by definition a total douchebag. The gloves aren't going to make you any more of one. There is no sensible reason to own this car. It's purely a tool for fun.

 

Ferrari sell a nice pair: Men Driving Glove - Ferrari Store

 

I actually considered these cos golf gloves are designed for tactility and breathability. Hadn't occurred to me that I could buy a left hander glove to get a set. Good call.

Don't need them for city drives but I've done some 4-6 hour sessions where gloves would be useful. Same as golf I suppose...

 

Carry on gentlemen.

 

Normally after a spirited drive I need a new sweatshirt, gloves won't do it for me, even the top of my underwear (boxers) gets a little damp from all the maneuvers to control the beast.

 

Here's a selection of the type for the gentleman driver, as opposed to the gauntlet style nomex racing gloves the black knight wears under his armor...

Driving gloves

Never used them personally, but fingerless might be the way to go - less bulk, can still use touch screen etc.

 

Gucci make a nice set. However I am looking to get a bespoke pair. Does anyone know a good glove maker?

 

You might check these guys out Stealth. I don't have any experience with them but from what I gather from their website, they seem to take it seriously and have pride in their craftsmanship.

Props for the quick troll slaying!
Keep calm and carry on.

 

Thanks a lot. Those look superb but a custom pair is running between $650 and $3000. I may contact the vendor and see what I get at $650.

I'm thinking of trying these guys out. They also make their nicer gloves bespoke to your measurements and also have a lot of leather and color combinations including two-tone combinations.

Steering wheel covers can be dangerous. I should say, "bad steering wheel covers" that is as they can slip (which means the cover moves but the wheel doesn't).

Granted, I wouldn't expect anyone shelling out money for a new Jaguar to purchase a cheap steering wheel cover, but still, gloves are a better option if sweaty hands are an issue.

 

Holy cow! I had no idea. Thanks for the Chester link. I'd love to see a pic and get your thoughts if by chance you go the $650 route.

 

I have a set of Cross-Country Ski gloves that will be perfect for cold weather starts. The palms and fingers are designed for grip while the back of the hand is all about breathability. Warm in -20C too.

 

You sound like a self-righteous socialist who decides for the rest of us what is "sensible".
