I needed easy gloves for driving that were thin and looked good. I've gotten several comments on these gloves, my boyfriend said "They look really cool, but how are they going to keep your hands warm" cuz they just go over my knuckles, thumb and palm. Thats the point. I **love** them, my hands don't sweat, but are protected from the freezing steering wheel - and the studs add a touch of sparkle and glamour too. Not Beverly Hills quality, but they work for this redneck!!
