Driving Gloves

Does anyone else wear them. I do a lot in the winter. I have an old pear of broken that is really broken in. I think that they add a whole other dimension to driving.

I have a pair of fox biking gloves that are incredible for the auto, I have been using them for years and years (especially when its cold)... then a cop pulled me over with them and gave me $%#@ for wearing them! Harassed the crap out of me and used the "racing" mentality as a crutch...when all I got pulled over for was mistaken identity while they were out looking for drunks

I also got @#^% from a cop when I had my seat out in my civic (so I could transport my work) got the whole "racer" speach again!

Got crap from a cop again for having a triple beam in the front (I also am a mold maker)...gawd I thought i would never hear the end of it with him!

Anywho those gloves I have dont have a gauntlet or cuff and I find that easier for mobility and comfort. They breath well too so you dont really sweat when its hot on an auto-x day or a run through a canyon.

YEAH!!! the smilies are back!!!

Just a nice lambskin leather pair. Hopefully the cops won't get too pissed about them.

A gift to go with my lambskin coat. Who says parents don't pay attention. Perfect match.

Tom.

i got mine from a local store that sells racing gear...
but you can find other stores online. just search sparco meca2 or meca3.

i think you'll like meca2's better for driving as it is all suede and does not
come with the super grippy rubber finger tips.
