Paddle shifters with gloves

[dgff]

Now that the weather has gotten quite a bit colder, I have discovered a minor annoyance.... wearing winter gloves while driving with the paddle shifters.

When it was warmer, my hands would be placed on the wheel near the shifters -- sometimes above and sometimes below depending on the current situation. And occasionally a finger or two would even end up in between the paddle and the wheel. Also, I could feel the shifters if my fingers should brush against them.

However, with thick gloves on and no tactile feedback, it was easy to accidentally touch the shifter and not even know it until the shift took place. And the space in between the shifter and the wheel is too tight for a gloved finger to rest there occasionally.

Again, this is a MINOR issue and can be overcome by either wearing lightweight gloves (not very comfortable if your car has been in -20 Celsius overnight) or by retraining how one places one's hands on the wheel.
