driving gloves

Motorist's hand covers

Driving gloves are thin leather gloves designed to improve grip on a steering wheel while allowing tactile sensitivity.

They typically feature open backs or perforated palms for ventilation and often have knuckle cutouts.

Once practical accessories for motoring, they now carry connotations of style, performance driving, or affectation: He wore driving gloves with his sports car.
