Warm gloves, thin enough to drive in?

[parapaul]

Fed up of having cold hands for the first 15 minutes of my drive to and from work

The only gloves I've got that actually keep my hands warm are made of fleece, and really are too thick to manage comfortably. This sort of thing:



I used to have a pair of woollen gloves, with little rubber pimples across the palms and fingers, which were great - but I can't for the life of me find any now.

Any suggestions?

I wear a pair of these for work and find driving in them pretty easy http://www.webtogs.co.uk/The_North_Face_Etip_Glove...

i wear the thinsulate gloves and then swap to leather gloves after 15-30 mins, often have to stop to take off the third fleece as well

Decathlon runners gloves- cheap & very good.

ETA can be a bit slippy if you have a wooden steering wheel.

Anyone who wears gloves whilst driving is ghey or dead.

Put up with 15 mins if discomfort or be prepared for years of mockery.

Just get normal leather gloves from somewhere like M&S or Next.

I dont mind the mockery, more than happy to put up with it for the sake of keeping my hands warm.

I wear a pair that look alot like the thinsulate ones above, they are comfortable to drive in and keep my hands at a nice temperature rather than too warm/not warm enough.

string backs for extra purchase

Something like mountain biking gloves might be a good idea? They're thin and usually have really good grip on the palms and fingers plus are designed to deal with cold wind that you get on mountains.

Oh ok.

Just buy some cheap running gloves then.

Or has a car with no roof or windscreen.

I asked a similar question here.

I find cycling gloves do the job pretty well. Not hugely warm, but good enough to take the chill off and they tend to give good grip.

i use football training gloves. £9 for some nike ones available from all the sports places. Wool, but thin enough so you can still grip.

ive got some wind proof shooting gloves, allow you to operate a fiddly .22 rifle without any trouble and lovely and warm.

In open, unheated cars, I've used these for years:


Warm, comfortable and grippy - perfect.

A centipede, and this is but a fraction of the complete set.

[Chapppers]

I wear these most of the day in winter, great for driving in, quite warm and... fireproof?



You will most likely look like a total penarse though.
