driving glove
Leather grip aid
A driving glove is a thin leather glove designed to improve grip on a steering wheel.
Traditional driving gloves have open backs and knuckle holes for ventilation, with textured palms for traction.
Once practical accessories for early motorists battling unheated cabins and vibrating wheels, they now signal either automotive enthusiasm or affected style: He pulled on his driving gloves before taking the sports car out.
