What are the basic protective functions of Driver Gloves?

1. Anti-friction protection

Thickened palm and finger areas: The palm, knuckles and other easily worn areas of the gloves are usually made of thickened leather or wear-resistant materials to reduce friction when holding the steering wheel for a long time or shifting gears, and avoid calluses or skin damage.

Reduce direct contact between the hand and the steering wheel: Especially during intense driving or long-distance driving, gloves can prevent the hands from redness, swelling or skin breakage caused by repeated friction.

2. Shockproof and cushioning

Shock-absorbing design: Some gloves have built-in gel pads, foam linings and other cushioning materials in the palm or finger pads to absorb the impact force transmitted to the hands by vehicle bumps or engine vibrations, reducing fatigue.

Improve control comfort: Reduce numbness or soreness of the hands caused by road vibrations during long-term driving.

3. Cold and warm (for winter models)

Inner lining warm materials: such as wool, fleece or thermal insulation interlayers, can maintain hand temperature in low temperature environments, avoid stiff fingers due to cold, and affect operational flexibility.

Windproof and waterproof design: Some gloves use windproof leather or coating to prevent cold air from penetrating and enhance winter driving comfort.

4. Anti-slip and enhanced grip

Anti-slip texture design: The palm of the gloves often has silicone particles, anti-slip embossing or air holes to increase friction with the steering wheel and gear lever, prevent hand sweat from slipping, and improve control accuracy.

Fitting the hand shape: Elastic fabric or adjustable wristband ensures that the gloves fit the hand tightly to avoid looseness affecting operation.

5. Basic scratch and anti-fouling

Resist external scratches: Leather materials (such as cowhide) can protect hands from accidental scratches on metal parts and rough surfaces in the car.

Easy to clean: The surface of most leather gloves can be wiped clean to avoid long-term adhesion of oil stains and dust.

6. Breathable and comfortable (for non-winter models)

Breathable material: goat skin, pig skin or mesh stitching design promotes air circulation and reduces hand sweat accumulation, suitable for spring and summer or long-distance driving.

Elastic joint design: Some gloves use stretch fabric at the knuckles to ensure that the hands can move freely without affecting the pressing of buttons or operating equipment.

Examples of applicable scenarios

Daily commuting: mainly anti-slip and shock absorption functions.

Long-distance driving: focus on anti-fatigue and wear resistance.

Racing/motorcycle riding: requires a higher level of protection (such as reinforced joint armor).
