Heh, my bad, I think I did mean driving gloves, although I'd want racing gloves for the day when I break down and track my baby. So, that having been said, anyone know anything about regular driving gloves? I currently wear my Gap gloves, but that's mostly because my fingers get cold; regular gloves simply don't transmit enough tactile sensations. Another reason for wanting driving gloves is to avoid sweating on the steering wheel, shifter **** when making downhill runs (and brake handle too during hot summer days).

True, but un like shoes, my hands do get sweaty from time to time, just a thought... not sure im going to pony up the 60 bucks for them, but they don't look half bad, and my normal leather gloves for winter have zero grip, and make driving the car impossiable

Longbowe im in the same boat as you, my Nordstom (to late to worry about spelling) don't cut it when it comes to grip, and on those hot summer days, i have had my hands slip on the wheel and shifter.. i think the netted half fingered ones may do the trick, although they remind me of my gloves for the gym

Yeah, I think that'll probably the right decision for me. Maybe I'll go to a sporting goods store and ask questions.

Has no one looked into the signal auto gloves. I would laugh at anyone wearing gloves while cruising down the highway myself; however if i saw Signal printied on the wrist I might think twice about it before I do. Siganl USA will sell them to you for $65 (i think).

What do you guys think of this Driving Gloves? Please don't flame me

I know it's not Nissan or Nismo gloves (because nissan or nismo didn't make any). It's TRD and Ralliart Gloves. But at least out of this 2 i like the TRD better.

I got a set of gloves that look like the TRD ones in black leather with a Z emblem on them. Anyone interested in them? They are size medium. Got them as a gift and I don't wear them.

Those Z gloves came with pre-ordered cars, IIRC.

Is that documented anywhere? I haven't found anyone who got a set for free.

Like whoa. I'm sure my ride gets way more thumbs ups than yours. Some people may have similar thoughts like yours, but I highly doubt you'll ever see any Murcielago's coming up next to you in Beverly Hills and telling you your car is beautiful. Man, keep stupid comments to yourself.
