Compared with other gloves, my hands did not sweat in them. They allowed me to grip the (leather covered) steering wheel with less effort than bare handed. Also they look better IMO than the styles with a bunch of holes where your knuckles are. The one negative is that because they are so breathable, they also absorb liquid readily. Be careful cleaning them as they will turn dark and may stay that way depending on the cleaner. Use alcohol based and only when necessary as alcahol can dry out the leather as well. Will buy another pair as backup because I like them so much.
