Default Driving gloves ?

Today it's 19 degrees, damn straight I wear them. But on normal weather days, I don't. but it really depends on the gloves themselves. If your talking about big fluffy things , No. But if your talking about a pair of italian made sheer leather tight or well fighting glove then I have no reason not to. Their comfort is the most important factor. To each his own. But I believe they best use is at an autocross & race track event.

I have a brand new pair of leather driving gloves I bought in Italy 20 years ago, they reside in one of my dresser drawers and will remain there!

I wear them on my motorcycle. It offers a small measure of protection in an accident or fall but in the car - not needed IMHO.

I only use my SFI rated gloves when I drag race, along with the SFI jacket

Other than that no, not for regular driving

Thanks,Matt

You mean not everyone wears driving shoes

I don't wear driving gloves but when it's below 15* I do wear gloves for warmth until the heater catches up.
