Lots of brands, shapes and designs - no idea where to start.

SFI 3.3-1 means single layer right? I'm guessing that's better
for feel of the wheel in your hands?

I think they're all pretty equivalent. I got some Sparco Tide
for work. The most important thing is the fitment. The nicest
glove that's loose is going to be awful.
I used to use mechanix gloves LOL. But now i tend to just drive
bare handed.

I definitely prefer bare handed but I think I'm gonna get a bit
more serious and step up my game a bit, possibly enter some real
events next season. I gotta get comfortable with gloves on if
that's gonna happen.

G-Force G1 gloves are on sale from Jegs through eBay for $40 SFI
3.3/1 I just snagged a pair.

These G-Force gloves suck for drifting. For starters, they
barely hold themselves to your hands. If you try to stretch the
strap way over to make them tight, they fold the glove up around
your wrist and feel uncomfortable. I actually sewed two of the
seams together to tighten them up.

This definitely helped, but even with them pretty damn tight and
feeling comfortable, the palm leather is way too fckin sticky.
The wheel won't slide through my hands well - they start to pull
off and bunch up - I'm constantly having to pull them back on.
This would never work on the track. And no, I didn't get bigger
gloves than I need, I buy sht that fits, these are mediums.

Next I'm gonna try scuffing up the palms with some sand-paper -
give them more of a suede finish versus this sticky glossy
finish - hopefully that will help. If it doesn't, I'm gonna try
some RaceQuips, they have suede palms.

Glad you're being honest with your review! Good info for the
rest of us.
