I get extremely sweaty hands very easily. Sometimes I have to grip the steering wheel so hard my hands start cramping because it's so slippery. I couldn't live with myself buying sparco gloves for normal traffic. Will work gloves do the trick?

sometimes i pull so hard i rip the skin.
Robert Miller
just get a suede steering wheel sperg
Ian Turner
I use that exact glove for work. Yes it would work, I used to drive a forklift with them. Get that quality, not cheap shit.
Bentley Adams
I'm from Germany, TÜV says no. >Get that quality, not cheap shit. If by that you mean what I posted, I have stacks of them lying around, need them for work.
Jeremiah Green
>tuv says no then use alcantara
also i doubt they say no to that. and if they did who cares anyway.
Justin Allen
Why are you making shit up again?
Henry Gutierrez
Getting TÜV approval for safety critical aftermarket parts is a pain in the ass. >and if they did who cares anyway. The police.
Andrew Williams
You dont need TÜV approval for a refitted wheel. Stop whining
Aiden Brown
Sounds like an underlying health problem you should fix instead
Julian Brooks
jesus christ why do people like you exist.
theres no possible way that you sweat enough for it to fucking matter at all
and theres no possible way that a cop is going to hawk eye your alcantarra wheel from 100 meters and pull you over
you're just making up problems to be concerned about. you cant even find gloves on your own. please fuck off.
Jason Torres
>you cant even find gloves on your own I have them lying on my desk user. They're by far the cheapest and easiest solution. I'd just like to hear someone's opinion who has tried this before. Thanks doc I'll look into it.

go out and put them on? did that ever cross your mind?

Spray your hands with an antiperspirant? >Can it be this simple?

My friend all you do is aim the the can almost at arms length at your hand and give it a gentle spray, then swap the can over to the other hand and spray it at your other hand. Now remember, don't do it too close to your hand or it might hurt! Do you need help with tying your laces as well?

>I get extremely sweaty hands very easily. There are thin exercise gloves that cover your needs. People wear them at the gym. They are similar to open fingertip bicycle gloves except that they have slightly longer fingers than bicycle gloves.
But for driving, you don't want the ones with padded palms. Those are available too.
Owen Wright
>I get extremely sweaty hands very easily. Wash your hands with an antibacterial soap before you wear some thin gloves. Of course, clean your steering wheel of the bacteria and mold. You'll probably want two or more pairs of gloves since at least one pair will be in the wash.
Jace Johnson
>Will work gloves do the trick? Heavy gloves, gloves with non-breathing backs, and larger gloves that cover the wrists are just going to make the palms perspire more.
You might google "walmart exercise gloves" and look over the results. I simply went to an exercise goods store in my local shopping district. They had nice THIN gloves with unpadded palms suitable for driving. They added both friction and wicked off moisture.
As was said in another post, it's a good idea to wash your hands before using gloves. An antibacterial soap is good too. I exfoliate some of the dead skin off my palms before I use my gloves..
Nathan Wilson
Walmart sells the gold's gym classic exercise gloves.
Those are ideal as they don't have padded palms and they are washable. No leather in them like with bicycle gloves. They're all synthetic for easy fast washing without wearing out.
Jason Garcia
Yup. The one's you want are the "gripworx" by ironclad. I discovered them when I threw freight for a living. They breathe pretty well, hold up nicely and have awesome grip.
Nathan Carter
Note...they're not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

>have awesome grip If the reason why your hands slip so much on the steering wheel is because your aesthetics require a smooth metal or plastic circle, then grippy gloves are the solution. But there are a variety of steering wheel wraps (a long tape-like textured strip) or covers (slip on) that will make a slippery hard surface quite grippy.
If your existing steering wheel has OEM soft plastic or vinyl covering, using super grippy gloves is not the best solution if you think ahead in the long term. High friction gloves will abrade the steering wheel surface over time. Soft vinyl surfaces last longer if you have gloves that don't put a lot of friction onto the surface. If what you drive is a beater, then okay, use whatever glove grips (friction) the most.
Brody Martin
I have ridiculously sticky tennis racket grip wraps because I used to slip and break my rackets accidentally. I'd rather not warp it around my steering wheel though, aesthetics do matter to some extent. I also don't want to damage my steering wheel over time, do you think using gloves like the ones I posted in the OP would?

His steering wheel isn't square and made of cardboard after all

Don't know the type of plastic or vinyl your car uses. My older car has some sort of plastic layer over the softer padding and it is quite durable. It even resists alcohol type cleaners. My new car has some sort of soft vinyl and the same cleaner causes the surface to actually melt. I quickly stopped trying to clean it of course and only use water and microfiber.
No more using the older type windex which used a soapy alcohol instead of today's cheaper windex which changed formulation to be more of a general purpose cleaner than a pure glass cleaner that needed to bite through oils. That ability to bite thru oil quickly was why I used it on steering wheels to remove any trace of skin oil. I have no idea if the vinyl is substandard chinese-sourced material or if GM actually meant for it to be so delicate. To me, overly delicate materials smells like planned obsolescence in order to create enough multiple problems to make people EMOTIONALLY want to buy a new car.
>do you think using gloves like the ones I posted in the OP would If I turn the wheel a lot, I let go and feel the wheel return to its neutral position. It slips under my loose grip. If I had friction gloves, I'd have to avoid dragging the friction surface over the delicate vinyl of my new car. I think with the older car I could get away with that because it was a durable surface. I don't know those gloves in the OP picture. But some friction gloves use rough friction bumps (almost like taking crumbled plastic chunks and coating them over with rubber to be more rounded. Those and the sandpaper-like friction gloves would be harsh on any soft surface.
James Bennett
I had the same problem until I covered my steering wheel in cum.
Adrian Hernandez
>I get extremely sweaty hands very easily. I perspire only a little bit. But that's enough to make the steering wheel sticky after awhile from bacteria or mold growth. I do clean the wheel frequently and wash my hands with antibacterial soap. But that's not enough it seems.
I solved the problem by getting thin black cotton gloves. Those are like the white ones you wear to avoid leaving fingerprints on art objects. The cotton wicks away perspiration for evaporation just enough to make a difference. I no longer feel a sticky steering wheel.
The problem doesn't happen in other cars with hard plasticky wheels. It's this new GM material that is soft and seems to like growing bacteria.
Sebastian Lewis
The harder you grip the sweatier your hands will get. You should only lightly be resting your hands on the wheel. Put a finger around one of the spokes if it slips when turning
Juan Lopez
Found a saddler specialized in wrapping steering wheels. They'd wrap it in alcantara for 130 bucks, but I'd be without a steering wheel for 2 weeks. How is this more than a 4 hour job?
Brody Reyes
You may suffer from hyperhidrosis. There is an easy pill treatment with something called Propantelin
Wyatt Perry
I'm suffering from colitis ulcerosa, so I can't take that.
