Yes, I know they're douchey and you look like a **** wearing them, but...I have really dry skin and in the cold weather, my leather wheel feels very slick in my hands. Yesterday I headed out for a drive early in 35 degree weather with a set of leather gloves on and it was so nice to have such a great grip on the wheel. When I took them off the difference was night and day. Only downside of the gloves I was wearing is they're typical loose leather gloves.

So, I want to throw a set of form fitting driving gloves in the car for cold weather driving. Anybody have any brand recommendations?

And yes, I searched and read the previous thread on the question of whether they're douchey or not. I think we all agree that they are.

Great options on this site.

I like gloves to protect my hands during the winter. Thin ones. A few suggestions.

Jim Clark driving gloves at Griots Garage

Fratelli Orsini brand.

Bionic Driving gloves. Inexpensive.

I also like Gaspar Gloves for general purpose.

At 35 degrees, I'd be more worried about ur tires. By the way, what part of SF gets to 35?

Archimedes

It was 37 in the valley yesterday morning and 33 in the SC mountains. Tires were fantastic, even on the section of 9 littered with gravel and sand.

30 degrees in the East Bay this morning. We have many nights when temperatures fall below 30.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna try a pair of those Jim Clarks. Reviews all over seem to be good on those and they're nice and simple.

What tires were you running in these temps?

Archimedes

I have the stock P Zeros on the 991. Was mostly dry, with only a few damp sections. No grip issues at all. No ice though.

At 35 degrees i'd be more concerned about driving around on summer rubbers than what gloves to wear.

Let's not confuse air temperatures with ground temperature. The residual heat on the streets are going to be around for a while longer on the left coast. 35 F in the spring is much more a different story compared to 35 F in the fall.

Archimedes

Yup, this is a temporary cold snap and it still hits 55-60 by mid day. Grip is not a problem. I've ridden motos in the hills around here year round on DOT race tires without any issues. The Pirellis are more than capable of handling these temps.

I had Heinz Bauer make me a pair of their driving gloves to match a coat I had made for driving in my Porsche.
The ones shown on the site have two colors but mine are solid Cognac.
They are made to order, so measurements are required.
Mine turned out perfect.
email Sylvia Bauer for assistance.
BTW, it helped that I had them make a coat for my wife also!

Arch, what about a pair of golf gloves? Thin. Form fitting. Accessible. Ventilated. I have no clue. Just throwing out ideas.

The golf gloves are an interesting approach, and if you wear a hole in them you'll know your grabbing the wheel too hard - or driving like you stole it
