Someone mentioned the Mini specific gloves that has the inverted shift pattern on it and I mentioned that I know of a vendor that has several pairs of these for sale if anyone is interested.

 

There were also quite a few of us enamored with Bionic Gloves.

 

These gloves had forefingers that were too short and thumbs that were too long for me. (My hands are normal!)

 

WOW, those look awesome! I bet they feel nice wearing them and look to provide some good dexterity.

 

I have the Bionic gloves and they're fantastic. Not a real warm glove but very soft and thin so they give great feedback. Also made of machine-washable leather. I bought them on Amazon.com for about $35.

 

Just received my pair. Fingers are a little skinny/snug - but I suspect they'll stretch out a bit. Gonna wear them to drive in a little while.

 

So, exactly when would you wear them:
1. For cool days, I guess not too cold as someone reported they do not keep you warm.
2. For track days?
3. For just driving to work, or running errands, etc. in warmer temps?
4. To be cool, well they certainly do look ccol.
5. etc.
Just trying to figure out the usage model...........

 

I'd wear them in cool weather, top down. Also possibly on the track and for performance driving (i.e. driving that should be on the track, but isn't).

 

Oh yeah, you definitely would have more opportunities as Blimey is topless at times. So, how's the dexterity? I am thinking plenty good enough for any driving need.

 

I really like my G-ForceGF G1 Gloves-SafeRacer for the fun runs. Very, very comfy.

Got a nice pair of deerskin/wool gloves for the winter time.

Lotsie, I have the sport wheel (the one with the thumb bumps) and have not considered a wheel cover but was wondering if you think that would fit over the bumps?

 

^ Yeah, I was wondering about that too!

 

The wheelskin covers the thumbrests just fine -no issues.

 

I have a set of these, very cool. They seem to run a little on the large side.
