Killtodie Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I used to have a pair that I bought a while ago for $60, unfortunately the leather started to crack and tore apart, I personally dont want to spend another $60 on such a pair, so I started to look online, but most of the prices are around $40+ shipping. I wonder if anyone here can give me a suggestion for a good pair, black leather. I have excellent winter leather gloves with a cashmere lining, obviously cant use those in warm weather.

ucw458 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Do you really need driving gloves, girly man? It's not a racecar where you're required to wear nomex gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killtodie Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I dont need racing gloves. I want leather driving gloves.http://www.international-auto.com/images/originals/driving.gloves-2.jpg I'm just used to wearing gloves, it feels much better to drive in gloves, just like bike gloves.

Scotty Dont Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'm just used to wearing gloves, it feels much better to drive in gloves, just like bike gloves. That's like your girlfriend using the pill and you want to continue using a condom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoolinfool Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 That's like your girlfriend using the pill and you want to continue using a condom. Didn't you notice the cut-outs on the top of the hand, has to add at least 10 hp. I've driven my car hard but never saw any use for the gloves. Spend the money on performance, not styling.

Killtodie Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 That's like your girlfriend using the pill and you want to continue using a condom. Are you saying I should drive nakked?

silverarrow89 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 These are worth the $40. http://www.bionicgloves.com/shop/?cat=8&id=32 Used to have a pair...but didn't need the extra 10HP any longer, since I let all the air out of my tires and had them filled with nitrogen, added 40HP per tire and since I did the spare too I added a quick 200HP!

Jimmy Here in Chicago its freezing cold 3 months out of the year. I wear winter leather gloves while driving. My shiftknob is aluminum, in the winter its too cold to keep your hand on it and in the summer under direct heat its well over 140F. I cycle often and always wear gloves, prevents callouses and gives a better grip. As for driving, its a better feel, better grip, dont have to deal with a super hot steering wheel or shift knob in the summer and they look damn good in a blazer nor a nice suite.

spoolinfool Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 No, he's saying you needing driving gloves for a starquest is as useless as a condom when your other half is on the pill. Find something other than gloves to improve your cars performance or reliability.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) As far as adding "performance" I consider driving gloves in the same category as racing seats or any other creature comforts that improve the feel for the car. Just like bike shorts, and in some cases, condoms, can add performance for those who have trouble, performing for more than 30 seconds ^^ perfect KTD quote, feel free to sig it Edited April 19, 2010 by Killtodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project83 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Just buy some mechanix rubber gripped gloves?This is what i used to do in the winter, not the rubberized ones just the regular ones, they worked really good actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinfool Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 KTD, you have a car with ricarro seats style seats in it, why spend money on stuff that looks cool and is a name brand, when the stocker parts out perform it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 My quest's seats are actually very hard and uncomfortable. I will probably swap them out for something later on. And what do you mean by that phrase in relation to my want for driving gloves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
