My favorite driving gloves finally wore out; the fingers split. I've had them about 20 years, my first pair and purchased used on eBay. They were so thin and flexible--and had a leopard print. I have another pair, but they are thicker and not quite so flexible. I'm using them because I have to, but looking for recommendations on a new/different pair.
Another advantage my old ones had was the finger length. Most gloves are made for women with longer fingers--or long fingernails. I have neither. My old ones had finger length perfect for me. Boohoo. I hate when my favorite things wear out.
Any ideas?

I actually use fox motocross gloves for pretty much everything. A kids XL protects my hands and still gives me the feel that I want, and they fit perfect. If you have a motorcycle dealer near you, you can try them out. They sell very thick ones but I just use lined leather gloves when it gets to that temperature.

Kid sized gloves are a great idea, I also used to wear kid sized. I have small hands and have the same problem with the extra room at the fingers. It's made worse by having to now get gloves a wee bit big so I can get them on over my arthritic thumbs joints.

I had thought of looking at motorcycle gloves. I'll check that out.
