Driving/karting gloves

Post by Gareth » Mon Jan 09, 2006 11:42 am

Where from and how much?
I've got a pair of cycling gloves I use but they are bright orange and just look gay!
Needed them with the roof off yesterday as it was freezing.

My parents were talking about getting me a pair of 'Lotus' driving gloves. Apparently these exist, according to a 'friend of a friend who is lotus mad'. When I find out more, I'll let you know.

I know you can get OMP ones from:-

I've had a few pairs of Sparco's. Nomex were warmer (and cooler in the summer) but more expensive. Kart gloves are more than adequate and what I use day to day and trackdays. I still have my old Nomex ones which are my 'dirty gloves' for Pauls car. :)

The Sparco 'ProKart' are cheap and discreet for day to day use...
