I want something I can wear in and out of the car and people wont be like "sweet driving gloves dude". Anyway, ive been looking around and cant decide on any. Im not talking about something that Im going to wear to bang gears down the track only, I'm talking about when i wake up at 7am and drive my ass 5 minutes to school and my cars not even blowing hot air yet.

So far this is what i've found:

Fox thermal paw biking gloves:

Bionic mens driving gloves:

Simpson Gripper :

I think i might go with the fox thermals even though they arent made for driving, I know the palm will be grippy. The simpsons are nice but are a little too crazy to wear out on nice occasions but i do like how they dont have a velcro closure. The bionics are also nice but they seem over priced.

any input?

i would go for the bionics. Do you know what the inner lining is made of?

Ive got a pair of leather gloves with cashmere lining and i like them a lot.

I was thinking that too, but then again the fox gloves are made for gripping bmx handle bars so they will probably be flexable tight fitting as well. I'd like to use my cell phone with them on if possible too

no idea about lining

99caddy, do your leather gloves smell? I have a old pair that my dad gave to me that he doesn't use anymore and I cant get rid of the weird smell that they have. They are slightly lined with cotton but I cant stand the smell they leave on my hands after wearing them. I assume its the leather :shrug:

No, other than the smell of leather, they are fine. But they are not very old so maybe they will start to smell later.
