Now that cold weather is upon us and my S2000 is my daily driver, I need some sort of driving gloves to keep my hands warm. Anyone have any recommendations on where I can buy some and maybe have a pic of what they look at. I'm kind of looking for ones that have "S2000" or "Honda Racing" on them or something along those lines.

Thanks

Yeah really, cold here in Memphis, TN too! Need those driving gloves. I'm not putting my baby away for the winter.

I'm about to order some from Griot's garage. They are called Jim Clark Driving Gloves. They are black leather (match my car) and lood very high quality.

The downside is that they cost $80.

You can get real Momo racing gloves through Neuspeed. I have a pair of leather gloves from a Coach outlet ($30) and a pair of Columbia PolarFleece gloves.

I had a pair of Juan Montoya's Sparco gloves in my hands, but was too chicken to swip them. I should have.

Griot's has a couple of choices. The Jim Clark as others have mentioned and the crochet back. The crochet back has been better for me. The JCs were too thin and my signet ring tore it. The crochet back is a more relaxed fit and I like the feel/looks of the contrasting back. Very nice soft leather of the JCs, though.

If you're using OJ's gloves, you had best have red leather interior

Me I just wear what equate to work gloves for the first 10 miles. By that point the shifter has warmed up enough to not bother me...in the summer I rest my hand there, but now that winter has hit I'll be keeping my hand on the wheel.
