HAHAHA.

What no strings to run inside the drivers suit so they don't get lost.

I think ive found a winner. This is also not the first time ive heard that Oakleys are extremely comfy.

I found that I could prevent the leather from getting stiff and "ungrippy" by rubbing hand lotion into the palms before putting the gloves away. Also, if they get really dirty and salty, I would wash mine the same way as my suit (TINY bit of laundry soap, tumble dry - NO heat) Then, when dry, use the hand lotion again.

And when I had to buy my gloves, I preferred this Stand 21 glove:

I, too, use the Stand21 gloves. If you're a real nut for the Porsche marque (like me), you can buy the same Stand21 articles worn by the factory drivers. You can go here to see the complete lineup. I was in Dijon right after Stand21 resigned with Porsche and was able to purchase two pair of the "Porsche" Daytona gloves as well as a new ST3000 suit, underwear and balaclava. They also did a custom helmet for me.

I havce used my gloves several times and they are extremely comfortable. I am very pleased with the items I purchased from Stand21, and would highly recommend them.
