To say that a winter morning can be very unpleasant would be an understatement. Cleaning off and warming up the car are the necessary evils of a frigid subzero day.

When I am driving I prefer to feel the steering wheel in my hands, which makes the bulky winter gloves I wear to clear the snow off of my car a bad choice. I feel most comfortable wearing leather gloves while driving. Stylish and chic, leather gloves help remove some of the unpleasantness from a nasty winter morning. A cold steering wheel is no fun to operate with bare hands, thankfully, a great pair of leather gloves can solve this problem by providing a barrier to the cold without adding too much bulk.
