+1. Also if you are able to find a local store that sells racing gloves, try them while gripping a steering wheel. Most of the better gloves are pre-formed. That makes them feel weird when you put them on but they are usually more comfortable when holding the wheel.

I think you should get the old school driving gloves like Rocky wears in Rocky one... leather, knuckles cut out, half fingers...

If Rocky wears them they must be good for kicking *** and the half fingers would give you the sensitve touch you need for shifting

In all seriousness you can try on a few different kinds (stitching inside, stitching outside, Oakley, A-stars, etc) at speedware and they have steering wheel mounted on the walls that you can grip... although non with tip switches
