Default Driving Glove Survey: Care to help a student out? Win a pair of Mechanix Gloves

Hey guys,

First and foremost, I want to say that this is not spam, and I am NOT making money off of this! I am completing my final semester at Auburn University, and as part of my thesis studio in Industrial Design I am designing a racing glove. I'm currently compiling user research in order to have as much information as possible before entering the design and prototype stages.

If you could help me out with 10 minutes of your time, I'll enter you in a drawing to win a pair of Mechanix "FastFit" gloves in red/black, size L, shipped to you for free. I'm not affiliated with Mechanix, this is just a thank you to those who participate. There are two surveys; one for those of you that own driving gloves, and one for those of you that do NOT own driving gloves. Please be as descriptive as possible! The drawing will be held on Monday, August 31st, and I will ship the gloves to the winner on Tuesday.

If you DO own driving gloves, please take this survey: Survey #1

If you DO NOT own driving gloves, please take this survey: Survey #2

I really, truly appreciate those of you who can take the time to fill this out. I believe the free surveys max out at 50 responses; if something messes up, sorry! THANK YOU. Make sure you enter your email at the end of the survey so I know who to enter into the drawing.

That was fun. I'm sure I'm the outlier.

This is great stuff, thank you everyone! I'm cracking up looking at the responses for each brand... I could have guessed half of them. This really is perfect, so thank you again.

Survey done!

Below are BY FAR the best racing gloves I've ever worn on my hands. And I mean BY FAR.

Ayrton Senna's gloves he wore during the 88-89 season, signed by the master himself.
They fit me perfect and I almost tried them on track but couldn't do it, too special meaning for me to do so.

That is a well thought out survey. Good luck with the project, keep us posted, and let us know when they are ready for market. I'll take a red pair. Georgia Bulldog colors!

Done. TeamDI for the win!

I can help you produce the gloves you design if you want, check your PM.

Also, I would change the 6th question because if you are asking racers, it needs to be fire retardant, so that's always going to be #1 priority.
