5 Best Driving Gloves of 2024

Talk about custom beauty: Car and Driver says the quality of these luxury leather gloves are well worth the price, coming in six different colors and thread finishes. Since they're handmade to fit, you'll need to measure your hands to ensure you get the right size. Lots of reviewers opt for these gloves specifically to match their cars and they love the feel and style they offer.

One reviewer even commented, "for long drives, these are a must." Another pointed out that the gloves have kept his gearshift from cooking his fingers in the hot Florida sun, making these an ideal pick for hot summer months.

While Car and Driver featured the men's version of the Alepo gloves, the brand claims all of the same great features are in the women's pair too. They're touchscreen compatible so you can pull up directions on your car's infotainment center or your phone without taking off the glove (just remember, no texting and driving!).

They're made from faux leather while maintaining the style of real leather at an affordable price point, and lined with wool, which is ideal for keeping fingers toasty although they may be too warm for warmer climates. They come in eight different colors, so you can match this budget-friendly pick to your outfit, your car or both!

Car and Driver editors like these gloves for keeping fingers warm on those cold work mornings. While they don't have the style of leather gloves, they're a great versatile option with the convertible top. Keep the top up so you can handle the cold steering wheel and pop it down when you want your fingers free to use your infotainment center (otherwise, the gloves are not touchscreen compatible).

One Car and Driver editor noted the leather padding on the palm for better control and the top pops off for a fingerless style to allow you to easily navigate touchscreens without fully taking off the glove. One online reviewer said the gloves were their favorite because "they're warm, durable and allow for quick dexterity."

For a pair of driving gloves that do it all, opt for this versatile set. While they're not marketing toward driving, the silica beads on the palms add grip to the wheel so you can feel like Speed Racer. These gloves claim to be wind- and waterproof, so they're good for mild outdoor use too. These gloves aren't lined, so Car and Driver says that they're better for cool (not cold) weather, but they'll help to keep you toasty for the first few minutes in your cold car while you want for your heater to finally kick on.

A lot of people think of gloves when they think of cold mornings in the car, but if you've ever grabbed a leather steering wheel in 100º heat, you know exactly how important gloves are in the summer too. That's where these lightweight leather gloves come in: There are holes across the knuckles that allow your hands to breathe, so you don't have to worry about sweaty hands soaking through the leather or singing on a hot wheel.

These are some classic, solid, no-nonsense gloves that Car and Driver says will get the job done. They're made from leather (though Car and Driver does say they're lower quality leather) and the thumb and pointer finger are touch-screen friendly. The snap allows them to fit snugly as well, and as an added bonus, they offer some sun protection against blazing sun through the windshield (though always remember SPF!).
