Winter warmers

Post by john-e89 » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:10 pm

I hate cold hands when driving, just spoils the whole experience and normal gloves are either too thick so you have no feel, or too thin so don’t keep your hands warm. Bought these rally gloves a couple of days ago, they’re utterly superb, loads of grip but you can still feel the wheel, even the stitching on the rim, but thicker outer so they really keep the hands warm. A bit pricey at £52 but for the job they do they’re more than worth it. I don’t begrudge the price at all, throughly recommend them for open top motoring. :thumbsup:

NB: I keep my jumper sleeves rolled down over the cuffs and logo so I don’t feel so much of a poser... :lol:

They sound like they do the trick, but the white is a bit conspicuous isn't it - I have a pair of black leather gloves I used in Scotland, match my black leather jacket :D

I’ll take cold hands over wearing gloves in anything other than an Atom or veteran car
