Driving turtles

What type of turtles do you guys wear when driving on the road, I'm finding that my hands are slipping on the wheel and need more grip.

A pair of decent full finger cycling gloves works for me. Mine are alcantara palm type Kona ones like these

Mechanix gloves for me. Great for under the bonnet too:

full length cycle gloves. heated onesdouble up for car and bike. expensive but it makes a massive difference to a frezzing cold wheel / knob / bars

Thin biker's gloves from Lewis Leathers (ages old!) for warm weather, and 12v heated gloves for cold (they're quite warm without plugging them in too). In really warm weather I go without, as my wheel's covered in leather and is generally non-slip in normal use.

I use either goatskin golf gloves or regular batting gloves on my tintops
But only on the road.
For city driving I think they're too much of a hassle...

My car is so sexy I have to wear boxing gloves.

The rubber-dipped thermally insulated ones Screwfix do in black for £5-£8. Seem to work fine.
