Driving Gloves

So this is a weird question, but does anyone use leather driving gloves? If so, does it mess with the steering wheel leather at all?

I ask because I have hyperhydrosis and my hands sweat like crazy sometimes. On shorter trips it’s whatever but I hate the feeling of the wheel sliding through my hands. So I’ve ordered some gloves and trying to see how it does.

I used to wear driving gloves when I was big into sim-racing on my PC. I had an Alcantara steering wheel and didn't want to mess it up, so the gloves were great for that. However, I have never really used them in a real car. Sorry, but looking forward to hearing about your experiences with gloves.

Possible the gloves could interfere with the assisted driving at speeds when you have to stay hands on. This is mentioned in the manual under “system limits.”

I use them all the time on long drive. better grip and for the reason that my oils in hands make leather glossy. also it does not interfere with wheel option as when using assisting driving features. I am using the BMW gloves. I wanted new ones but BMW dealer didn't carry them. well not even on the Bmw website.
