Best Driving Gloves For Men In 2022

Pratt and Hart are a company dedicated to making driving gloves. That means they put their entire focus into creating the perfect gloves to improve your driving experience. The Pratt and Hart Traditional Leather Driving Gloves are designed to look like the driving gloves made popular in the 40s and 50s. They are relatively small, in that they only come up to your wrist and won’t reach the sleeves of your shirt. Plus, they have the traditional knuckles holes that give you extra maneuverability and ventilation when you’re driving.

The leather used is a fine-grain sheep leather. You’ll get a whiff of fresh leather smell as soon as you pull these out of the box, but they have been dyed to color. That means you might get some residue of the die on your hands, especially if you sweat. This doesn’t happen in every case, but a couple of the Amazon reviews complain about this. These are the perfect gloves for drivers and car lovers, especially for someone with smaller hands. If you’re not sure what size you need, check out the size chart on the listing.

This next pair of gloves look exactly like the kind Steve Mcqueen wore in Bullitt. ZQ-Collection Men’s Leather Driving Gloves are exactly the kind of driving gloves men over 40 will love. The leather used is either lambskin or deerskin, you can choose either in the color options. That means they’re super comfortable and will move easily with your hand. Like the Pratt and Hart driving gloves, they have knuckle holes to improve movement and ventilation, but this pair takes it a step further. The entire glove is lined with tiny holes to let air move freely around your hand. That makes this pair of gloves absolutely perfect for use in the summer months.

They might look like classic driving gloves, but they come with the option of touchscreen technology. If you’re prepared to pay a bit more, you can have the ability to control your devices without removing your gloves. So, when you’re cruising along the French Riviera in a classic Alfa Romeo, you can pull over and quickly take a call. It’s the perfect mixture of retro and modern. Plus, these touchscreen gloves come in four different color options – black, brown, saddle brown, and tan – so you can find the perfect gloves to match your car’s interior trim.

Riparo is an American company recreating classic styles of driving glove. We knew we had to include a few of their products on this list. The next two are our favorites. First up are these full-finger driving gloves. They have the same knuckle hole and tiny vent hole design as the last gloves we looked at. That makes them perfect for summer driving with the roof down or even for motorcycle riders. The vent holes provide plenty of cool air to keep your hands from getting sweaty, even on long journeys.

Riparo Genuine Leather Full-finger Driving Gloves are a bit more expensive than some of the driving gloves we’ve featured, but you will notice the step up in quality. These gloves aren’t going to come apart, even after a couple of years of use. We also really like the fact that they come in 11 different colors. We know how important this is to petrol heads – you’ve got to have the right color driving gloves to match your car.

The second pair of Riparo driving gloves are more or a classic-style driving gloves. They are pretty much the same design. Like the last pair, they have knuckle holes, tiny vent holes, and a button closure. In fact, if you looked at them back to back, you would struggle to tell them apart. The main difference is that these are made to look a bit more old-school. The leather looks slightly worn and they are looser fitting around the hand. If you are really looking for that old-style, we’d recommend going for the tan leather or black and red color. However, you’ve got 12 colors to choose from and they all look great.

Riparo Men’s Genuine Leather Driving Motorcycle Riding Gloves are handmade, but they should all be pretty uniform. There aren’t many complaints in the Amazon customer review section, but some people have mentioned the size being wrong. We’d recommend buying your normal size, but be prepared to send them back for a change of size. Buying gloves is always difficult online because the sizes aren’t standardized like shoes.

Interstate makes some of the best cheap driving gloves. Unfortunately, while they might be great at making quality gloves for a reasonable price, they aren’t very good at taking product pictures. The image they’ve chosen makes it look like they’ve worn a pair every day for a year, taken them off, and taken the picture. But, aside from the questionable marketing, Interstate Leather Men’s Basic Driving Gloves are a great pair of gloves. They have that classic driving glove style with knuckle holes and tiny-vent holes.

Instead of having a button closure, Interstate has opted to put in a hook and loop closure (similar to the type you’d find on cap). That means you can tighten them to find the perfect fit around your wrist. This is ideal for someone who has either large or small wrists. The only slight complaint we’d have about these gloves is that they’re designed for riding motorcycles more than driving cars. The space between the thumb and forefinger is bigger than normal, which works well when you’re holding a handlebar or gripping a steering wheel tightly. However, when you’re not holding anything they feel a bit strange. You may also like some of the best work gloves from our list, so take a moment to check them out.

Shaf International driving gloves are the last full-fingered gloves on our list. They are some of the cheapest gloves we could find that are still high-quality enough to warrant a place on our list. Of course, they’re not as good quality as a pair of leather driving gloves that cost hundreds, but they will definitely do the job. A lot of customers have mentioned on the Amazon review section that they have bought these gloves for fancy-dress parties, which they would be perfect for.

They are also suitable for light use as a driver or motorcyclist. They have knuckle holes for extra ventilation. Also, they’ve got tiny vent holes along with the fingers, instead of all over the gloves. The wrist closure is Velcro, which means you can tighten it to make sure it fits snugly around your arm. The main problem people have about these gloves is that the sizing runs small. You should buy a size lower than you would normally buy and be prepared to send them back if they don’t fit perfectly. If you are also an active man who doesn’t skip his running sessions during winter, check out our guide to the best running gloves and pick your favorite.

All of the gloves we’ve featured on this list have been full-fingered, mainly because they’re a lot more popular than fingerless gloves. Anyway, we thought we should include a pair of fingerless gloves in the article. They are better for wearing in the summer months because you get more air to your fingers. And, they give you more grip, because your fingers are touching the steering wheel. The only problem with them is they don’t offer as much protection and, if we’re being honest, they don’t look quite as cool. But that’s only an opinion. Sorry if we’ve offended any fingerless gloves fans.

Interstate Leather Men’s Basic Fingerless Gloves are pretty much identical to the full-fingered gloves from Interstate. They are made from genuine leather, have the knuckles cut out for maneuverability and ventilation, and they have hook and loop cuffs. The only real difference, aside from the fact that they don’t have fingers, is that they don’t have the tiny vent holes along with the leather. But this shouldn’t be necessary because you will get plenty of air in through the open fingers. We also love the fact that not having fingers on the gloves has nearly cut the price in half, so they’re a real bargain. For the fans of skiing, we have selected the best ski gloves on the market, so be sure to check them out.

If you’ve just dropped your savings on a BMW, you’ve got to have the right apparel to drive it. These BMW M Driving Gloves are a great way of showing that you’re part of the club. They’re mostly made from Cabretta leather (95%), which is a soft and lightweight leather from sheep’s hide. Blended with neoprene, this is the perfect material for driving gloves because it’s more comfortable than cowhide leather and doesn’t need to be as durable. The gloves are covered in small perforated holes, which allow air to flow freely past your hand and keep you cool whilst you’re driving. On the cuff of the glove, you’ll find a M logo, which is BMW’s inhouse tuning team – any car lover worth their salt will know that M is a byword for speed and performance.
