Driving Gloves for Road, Classic and Spirited Driving
A driving glove is not a race glove. Race gloves are homologated fire resistant equipment worn inside a suit and belts. Driving gloves are leather or suede gloves made for the feel of a steering wheel on the road, with thin unlined palms, short cuffs and often perforated or open backs. They exist because a bare hand on a hot leather rim in a Dubai summer, or a sweaty palm on a suede wheel on a long drive, is not a good combination, and because on a classic car with a large thin rimmed wheel a glove genuinely improves control. We supply driving gloves to road drivers, classic car owners and collectors, and we deliver across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide.
What This Collection Covers
- Leather driving gloves: full leather gloves with thin unlined palms for maximum wheel feel.
- String back gloves: crocheted or knitted backs with leather palms, the traditional classic car glove.
- Perforated and half finger gloves: ventilated designs for hot climates and summer driving.
- Suede and soft face gloves: softer face materials that suit modern suede trimmed steering wheels.
- Touchscreen compatible gloves: conductive fingertips so you are not taking them off at every screen.
- Winter and lined driving gloves: lined constructions for cold climate driving without losing wheel feel.
- Presentation and gift boxed sets: boxed pairs that work as gifts for car owners.
Why It Matters
Grip and comfort are the whole argument. A thin leather palm gives a consistent, predictable contact with the rim whether your hands are dry or not, which is exactly what you want on a long drive or a mountain road. Heat is the local case: a steering wheel that has sat in the sun in Dubai or in an Indian summer is genuinely unpleasant to hold, and a glove solves it immediately. On older cars with large diameter, slim rimmed wheels and no power assistance, a glove reduces the hand fatigue that comes from gripping hard for hours. And they protect the wheel too, since hand oils are what wear a leather rim shiny over the years.
How to Choose the Right Driving Gloves
Fit first, always. A driving glove should be close on the hand with no loose material in the palm, because slack fabric is what removes feel. Measure the hand circumference around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and compare against the specific size chart, since driving glove sizing is closer to formal glove sizing than to sportswear sizing. Then choose the construction for your climate and your car: perforated or string back for heat, full leather for grip and formality, lined for cold. If the car has a suede trimmed rim, a softer face material will be kinder to it. Send us the hand measurement and tell us the car and how you drive it. WhatsApp us on +971 50 308 5760 or send us an inquiry and we will confirm the size.
Shipping and Availability
We deliver driving gloves across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide. Common sizes in classic colours are usually in ready stock, while specific leather and colour combinations and larger or smaller sizes are sourced to order. Gloves are light and easy to ship internationally, and anything brought in for you is confirmed on lead time and price before payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I size driving gloves, and what do you need from me?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles with the thumb excluded, and send that figure in centimetres along with your usual glove or shirt cuff size if you know it. Tell us the car and whether the wheel is leather, suede or wood, since that affects which material we would suggest.
Can I use these for track days or racing?
No. These are road driving gloves and they are not fire resistant or homologated for competition. If you need gloves for racing or timed track sessions, you need homologated race gloves instead, and we can supply those separately.
Do you deliver to India and worldwide?
Yes. We ship across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide, with tracked delivery and the shipping cost quoted before you order.
Are the gloves genuine leather and genuine branded products?
Yes. Every pair we list is a genuine product from an established glove or motorsport lifestyle manufacturer, in the materials described. We do not sell copies or synthetic gloves described as leather.
What if my size or colour is not listed?
We can usually get it. Send us an inquiry with the size, the material and the colour you want and we will come back with a price and a lead time.
Cannot see the pair you want on this page? We can source almost any style of driving glove, in a wide range of leathers, colours and sizes. WhatsApp us on +971 50 308 5760 or send us an inquiry with the size and the car it is for, and we will come back with a price and a lead time.
