What are these driving gloves you speak of ?
Erm, well, mine are my very old and worn Sparco race gloves from my Karting days, they bring back many memories of racing, when I was of course slim, fast & handsome

and they still fit...like a glove

Very good, my wife suffers with the Reynaud's in her hands during the cold weather which is partly why we chose to settle here, my first choice would have been Shetland but she wouldn't have coped with the cold up there.
I wear a pair of Thinsulate during my open top side screens off motoring down here in the winter months when there is no salt around.
Some of the best drives I've had are in winter with very little traffic around then also.
