Default Need Winter Glove Recomendation

Going to Barber and Road Atl in late November. I'm a Floridian and thus can’t stand the cold. I go to Road Atl every November and basically freeze. Since both tracks are already seeing a morning temp in the 40s I need to get better gloves. The past few years I’ve been using Snow Ski gloves, with those little hot packs in them. Biggest problem with them is they are too padded on the fingers, while warm, I lose too much feeling of the wheel.
Can someone give me a good recommendation? (Stock Leather Steering Wheel, Inexpensive glove…)

Well, if it needs to be a Nomex glove, then the one I would recommend is the Simpson Posi Grip. Or as we have referred to it, the Oven Mitt. Still get OK wheel feel.

Up here we're used to the cold, so the heaviest glove we see is something like Mechanix gloves. Those work pretty well.

Stand 21 are nice, but pricey.
G-Force are good.

Does the Simpson Posi Grip work well on leather wheels?

Yes, but not as good as a suede palm glove.
