Anyone have any recommendations for a good set of driving gloves? The pair I have now are ones I use to ride motorcycle and they're fine but I want something a little classier for in the car/going out. Not looking to spend a fortune but I want something that's a quality glove.
You can buy them off the web only problem is you wanna try them before you buy. You could go to a store that sells leather clothing or a suit store, those gloves i've seen a few times in the "fancy" stores.
Alpinestars makes nice gloves. I got a pair as a gift, very nice. Here in Ca, the summers are pretty hot- sweaty palms and a big, slick wood steering wheel make it hard to drive lol.
If you're looking for armored gloves, that's an issue. If you're looking for fashion gloves that provide absolutely no protection, then by far, your best bet will be Dents. There are better gloves as your budget increases, but these should work if you're not willing to invest into something better. Dents - Perforated Leather Driving Gloves | MR PORTER
Driving gloves are for sexy little upper middle class trophy wifes in a preowned boxster or slk350 or for bank job getaway drivers. I hated wearing gloves even in the race cars.
I love the idea of driving gloves... I can see why you may want them for a weekend (or less frequent car) with alcantara steering wheel but... Saw someone using them the other day and just thought "Tw*t"... bit hypocritical considering I like the idea! But won't be buying any
There's a few people here hating on the gloves, but I think they have their place... In a vintage Jag or 300SL or something along those lines (not a honda civic). That being said sparco or alpinestars make decent gloves for racing.
I know this is a very old thread - but should anyone still considering to buy a driving gloves, and want to do it with style :
- Get from Naples or Florence glove makers, they make really good gloves. From designer, only Hermes and Trussardi that worth the penny for their gloves quality (not just driving, but gloves in general)
