Driver Upgrade

I was in Builder's Warehouse looking for work gloves when I came across some CLC (Custom Leather Craft) “Boxer” gloves. These gloves have rubber pads on the finger tips as well as any other gripping surface of the glove. I think the “Boxer” name indicates they are intended for employees working in warehouses where they handle cardboard boxes.

Anyway, I liked them a lot - I am now am on my third pair. They are great for about any task because they increase one's ability to grip and yet they are thin enough so that you can fetch something out of your pocket without removing the glove. You can feel through them.

Where I really like them is when driving my Evo. With the gloves on I feel like Mario Andriette. It is hard to explain – you just have to try them.

I have a pair but the ones i have are really thick and are a ugly yellow color. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a thin set like your talking about if i ever seen them. They would probably work great when driving the car hard.
