Yahoo Autos Our Driving Glove Choices to Keep You Warm, Stylish, and Safe
Driving gloves have a history of being an essential piece of everyday driving, up until the last 60 years or so. Autoweek's West Coast editor, Mark Vaughn, explains: "They used to be necessary back when wrestling kickback through the steering wheel was considered part of the art of driving, but cars and front-end systems are so good now that gloves are not really necessary."
While you do need certified racing gloves to get into racing, normal driving gloves are just for show. In this case, the show is pretty cool. A new pair of slick motorsport mittens can make you feel like you're tearing through the Italian countryside or enjoying a throwback cruise down a coastal road.
We think anything that helps you enjoy driving is worth having, and a good pair of driving gloves certainly has its aesthetic benefits. So even though you aren't muscling a giant wooden steering wheel along a windy road, there's nothing wrong with feeling like you are. Throw a pair on and see for yourself!
