Extra grip

No need to worry about your hand slipping as you steer with driving gloves. They offer superior grip, as evidenced by them being worn by all motor racing drivers. This can be especially helpful to combat sweaty palms in the heat of summer.

Warmth

Say goodbye to cold hands when driving with a pair of driving gloves. The leather might be thin but it definitely helps keep the cold at bay on winter mornings.

Comfort

The gentle padding of the gloves provides extra cushioning for comfortable steering. This helps reduce hand fatigue which can be caused by the vibrations of the car and straining for grip. These are often experienced when long distance driving or driving a car without power steering, making driving gloves ideal if taking a road trip or driving a classic car.

Car protection

Keep your steering wheel and gear stick pristine by wearing driving gloves. The gloves prevent the natural sweat and oils of your hand being transmitted to the car, as well as minimising friction damage. Especially important for drivers with leather or wooden steering wheels.

Heat protection

Steering wheels can become hot to touch during summer weather. Protect your hands from the intense heat with driving gloves.

Temperature regulation

As well as warming cold hands, driving gloves can help cool hot hands. The holes offer ventilation which enables a continuous flow of air, helping minimise sweating.

Sun protection

Shield hands from intense summer sun with car gloves. A practical and stylish alternative to sun gloves (also known as UV gloves). Perfect for drivers of convertibles.

Style

Driving gloves add instant polish to your driving look. They come in a variety of styles and shades so there’s one for everyone. Choose one to match with your car’s interior for a coordinated approach or be more fashion-forward and look for ones in bright or multi-colour designs.

The fashion credentials of driving gloves have upped in recent years with Hollywood tapping into the trend. Think Ryan Gosling in ‘Drive’ or Lily Collins in ‘Emily in Paris’. And of course, our Fleming men’s driving gloves were worn by Daniel Craig in ‘Spectre’ and our Lashana women’s fingerless driving gloves were worn by Lashana Lynch in ‘No Time to Die’.
