rarely use them on daily bases (more for track days)

But I really love them.

Can't go wrong with sparco or alpina gloves (do not buy any gloves as they need a special cut to be comfy in the driving position)



Yeaahh, i got quoted , thanks tommy đź‘Ť LoooL

LOL! Welcome to GTPlanet - Home of the irreverant, don't lose your joie de vivre!
As for cold steering wheels - here in Canada we don't take our gloves off till we really get warmed up.
Imagine going out to your driveway and looking at your car and its solidly covered in an inch-thick layer of ice. That would be a good day. Most days the ice-pick comes out long before the keys. So yeah - gloves - not necessarily for driving, but even before you get into the car.

Most cars have heated steering-wheels now, though, as well as heated seats, and mirrors (my Lincoln gets toasty warm pretty quick.) However, not all cars enjoy that luxury - so I do have driving gloves, too, but they are wool-lined inside.
The whole trick I learned (in purchasing gloves) is to put one on your left hand, and try to pick a penny up. If you can pinch up a penny betwixt thumb and forefinger - well then its glove at fist tight.
 
I'll need to get some gloves before winter. Cold steering wheels is probably my least favourite thing about Canuckistan.
 
Beware of gloves with suede palms because they're slippery on smooth leather wheels. If your steering wheel is grippy leather or rubber they may work. Racing gloves usually have very grippy leather or rubber palms so your hands can't slide on the rim, otherwise you have to squeeze it really tightly and that gets tiring and makes it hard to react smoothly.
 
I don't think it looks that bad :D

Yeah I have to figure something out soon, this morning was a little better than yesterday though, but still we are only in the transition between summer and autumn.

And I don't have heated steering wheel :S
 
AOS-
Really, man? Really? Cold steering wheels? More like super-paranoid drivers going 30km/h in a 60km/h zone

Or idiots in pickup trucks doing 120 on an 80 in a snow storm.
