Re: Motorsports gloves
A good fit. No matter what protection level of glove you choose..it should be comfortable. ( Not to mention color coordinated... )

Re: Motorsports gloves
Consider the grip material on the glove vs whatever steering wheel(s) you have. Some gloves are slippery on some wheels.

Re: Motorsports gloves
The most important thing is that they are smaller than your hands.........
So that if you have to go to court...and they do not fit, then you must aquit
Now I think it's corny but I could not pass it up with all the humor that's get added in the forums.

Do not try on a pair of externally stitched driving gloves. You will never want to take them off.

Re: Motorsports gloves
Interesting...I'm in the market for some new gloves and am going to try some externally stitched ones. These SFI 5 rated (3.3/5) gloves are externally stitched and quite affordable… ebay-> http://www.ebay.com/itm/K1-Pro-X-SFI-5- ... xqv7J6PsIQwizzman wrote:Do not try on a pair of externally stitched driving gloves.

Re: Motorsports gloves
I have a couple pairs of these. They fit really well, have a nice tack field in the palm for the steering wheel, and the white across the fingers has a good contrast.

Re: Motorsports gloves
Thanks for reply. What about suede grip? I've seen a pair with 100% suede on the palms, they looked very good.joncowen wrote:Consider the grip material on the glove vs whatever steering wheel(s) you have. Some gloves are slippery on some wheels.
