Default What are your favorite driving gloves?

I might be a bit old school here, but I like driving gloves... I have a number of vintage cars where a bit of muscle is needed when taking the curves at speed and a bit of nerve! (so they help with the grip and sweat). I like them in the GT3 also, just because I like the feel.
Anyways, these are my longtime favorites.

I also like driving gloves. I have one pair for each car. In my opinion, the outlierman are the best:

Man, I have spent SO much money on so many pairs of gloves--- and NONE of the ones I have tried are as good as I would like them to be. I have very long fingers, but not huge meaty mitts, so i usually have to wear a XXXL or XXL, but they are always baggy If I size down, they pinch the ends of my fingers and they go numb. I will give those outlierman ones a shot, but the ones I have been wearing most out of the 6 or 7 pairs I own are these "Ambesi men's classic lambskin driving gloves" I bought on amazon for like $27... I have spent HUNDREDS on semi-custom ones, and highish end ones - no more than $250 off the rack - and these cheapey ones are the ones I put on. They are a bit baggy, but they vent well, and feel really soft, dry out quickly (my hands sweat a lot), and they are cheap enough I don't mind throwing them around and abusing them a bit... though I do keep them clean.

Believe it or not- I use the thin North face glove for my right hand when it is colder out. I have the Function First Aluminum **** and too freakin cold to do it bare handed when below 50.

I'm sure gloves at time wild help and keep the wheel looking new for longer but I struggle with the idea of wearing them. I would feel like such a Dbag if anyone saw me wearing them.

5.11 taclite 2s. Lambskin is so thin you almost forget you're wearing them. Breathable / stretchy back keeps them comfortable in heat.

And you can operate an iPhone without removing them...
