Do you wear gloves while driving?

[pup2]

I do. But only for long drives. Napansin ko kasi my hands get oily pag long drives and nothing short of washing them will get rid of the oiliness. Dumudulas tuloy yung manibela o minsan yung shifter.Pero ngayon na leather-wrapped na steering ko at AT na car ko, I don't know what to do with them.

[B2Bomber]

nope. though at times pag long drives ang prob ko e sweaty palms, parati na lang ako may mf towel (yup the ones for detailing... alangang yung kotse lang ang mahal ang bimpo ako rin a, kahit man lang pamunas lang ng basang kamay. hehe) up front. never experienced the blisters though, even nung pawis steering UV pa hawak ko.

if you hold your steering wheel properly while driving, not with one finger hehehe, you'll develop kalyo (not blisters --> paltos). i think it is not really with turning the steering wheel that you develop those kalyo. it is with constantly holding the steering wheel that causes the skin on your inner hand to pack together tightly for a period of time. so even if we have power steering we can still develop kalyo or callus.

Still. You shouldn't develop any blisters unless you have the steering wheel in a death grip. The most I've ever driven in one day was 19 hours straight during a hot summer in a 1986 Nissan Pulsar M/T with no cruise control and no a/c. I sweated a lot even with all windows open. But, no blisters from either the steering wheel or stick shift.

Wearing gloves isn't new to me. I mean, I was a plumber at one time and dealt with handling heavy cast-iron pipes, drove/used a back-hoe, and used pipe wrenches a lot. Gloves were a necessity for that type of work.

I don't know. Maybe I just have tough skin. But then, so would my wife's female cousins. They're all road warriors in their own right and all are very particular about their appearance. But, they never got blisters either during their long drives.

Maybe some people are just prone to blisters and should wear gloves for safety. Again, the only time I wear driving gloves is while go-karting because of the smooth and slippery steering wheel.

yes, I wear gloves when I steal someone's car. para walang finger prints.

Try to get a feel of Jeepney driver's hand next time time you ride a jeep.

I think these guys needs glove hehehehe

To those who havent ridden a jeep.

Sit close to the jeepney driver and assist all passenger paying their fare.

as i've said, it is not blisters that you develop but callus (kalyo) --> tama ba spelling?.. they are two different things. kalyo is the part of your skin which has thickened due to frequent contact with another surface such as steering wheel. blisters (paltos) has this watery thing inside. a blister is a lot more painful than kalyo. a callused hand have some minor pain even if it doesnt develop into a blister.

anyway, agree with you that some people are just prone to develop kalyo. may jeepney or delivery van drivers. driving for 24 hours straight once I think will not cause kalyo to develop as compared to driving 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, 4 weeks a month as what drivers of jeepney, bus or delivery vans do.

parang baduy naman naka formal ako papuntang opisina tapos naka gloves hahahaha kulet, siguro mas maganda dahan dahan lang sa pag kapit sa manibela wag naman yung tipong kapit na tatakbo yung manibela hehe

[Asus700]

[jeffrocks]

...dalawa lang naman yan e, yung nagsusuot at hindi,me? i wear yung labas ang mga daliri dahil to protect sa kalyo later on...show off?...hindi rin,gaya ng shades,to protect ultra violet rays specially my job is almost always at the beach area nakakasilaw talaga ang white sand and besides i also drive a mule sa beach...kaya i wear gloves too...

[monsterbot]

mga tol, mas malaki chance mo magkaron ng kalyo pag lonely ka kaysa pag nag-drive ka.

[chr1smj_15]

nope i don't.

[Memphis Raines]

I have two types of driving gloves: leather and "felt" type.

I use it for long hi-way drives and off-road manuevering.

Why? Because I prefer gloves than slapping on one of those steering wheel wrap around covers for grip .

[augustus]

only during winter time.

[roninblade]

i think i should've worn gloves dati. i have sweaty hands when driving kasi, and i think dahil dun kaya nag deteriorate yung condition ng leather covers nung previous steering wheel ko.

[LexTer]

sometimes i do. sa long drive. pawisin kamay ko e.

[erickdpogi]

pag rezing mode

[recklus]

no gloves for me, power steering or not. pero pag on long trips on a motorbike i use gloves

[wren]

nope. i don't like wearing gloves of any kind. the only reason i wear snowboarding gloves is because my fingers would fall off if i didn't.

[patabihon]

I wear gloves on long trips. I like the grip. Saka naninigas daliri ko sa lamig.
