My '13 GS has the "suede" interior option, and I have very sweaty palms. So on longer trips I use a pair of sailing gloves - no fingertips - to keep the steering wheel from getting too grimy. (I'm not sure how you would even go about cleaning that suede surface.)

Been using them since my 84 Honda Accord..to each his own but they have been a part of my driving experience for to many years.

in 1991 i purchased a 91 honda accord, and never even thought about wearing driving gloves... but then again, it was a 91 honda accord and i thought of it more like a small sedan. But, the cool thing about america is you can do what you want, just not for me or anybody i know.

Oh **** I just found a pair that are iphone friendly!! Im so freaking excited!!

Love it keep it coming!! That's the whole point of the thread.. Nothing piss off another person than doing something they would NEVER do in their new vette. Again that's why it's my new vette. I can do what I want.

Hey, I often wear gloves like this when I drive in colder weather...no matter what I'm driving. I just don't call 'em driving gloves.:D

I also do light yard work with them on.

If you want driving gloves go ahead and get them. I am speaking for myself but I do think a few other guys here will agree me on this. If you wave at me wearing driving gloves "I am NOT waving back".

:iagree::lol:

Yes, this will be my first vette and i am pumped about it. However, it is like scoring a touchdown in football. You need to act like you have been there before. When i do get mine (sitting at 3300), i will not be wearing "driving" gloves cause i will be divorced and my dog would probably go too. If you live in the north, wear them for the winter months, at least you can just say your hands are cold....lol Quite honestly, i never thought i would see a thread on driving gloves.

BTW, i am sure this thread is a joke, which i am glad... if not, i would say just do the trifecta and purchase a helmet and short school bus and your set...lol

I can't help but want driving gloves for my new baby. Does anyone use driving gloves? I'm in the market for a good set of gloves for the lady. High quality is a must!

Here's a review of the Autodromo stringback gloves for $110.

I mean the gloves are $110, not the review, that's free. If they add to your experience, go for it. No need to worry about what everybody else thinks.

Get some matching leiderhosen and your ready for a lovely motor car ride.

Here in MN, I keep an extra pair of "window scraping gloves" in every vehicle I own, and the Corvette, although it won't intentionally get driven in the snow very often will have a pair of gloves and a window scraper in the glove box in case of the unexpected need to scrape the windows.

I generally remove the gloves once I am underway and the heat kicks in, though, so not really "driving" gloves.

gloves
 
go to your nearest Harley dealer and get a pair with 1/2 fingers, they are outstanding. Saw a WW2 replica hand painted helmet there with flying tiger emblem. wife just walked away from me. hey i like to wear blue/tan saddle shoes also from DSW. it's your corvette dress and drive as you want:) MAKE A STATEMENT!!:flag:

vettelover69 12-10-2013 12:12 AM

Make sure you get the matching driving shoes also.:thumbs::rofl:
