Doughie Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Pix look ace. It's Sat pm and my fingers are still numb. For real!Thats not right dude after 3 days or something.. go get them checked out. i've done my fair share of karting outdoors in winter in rain, cold and even snow (yes). You got to wear two pairs of gloves : - latex rubber mechanics disposables underneath, or rubber marigolds - normal gloves over the top of that. The rubber gloves will stop wind-chill and water getting through if it rains. Wind-chill outdoors in winter is BIG factor. 40-50mph on the straights, fingers not moving... little circulation. The normal driving gloves will give a bit of insulation over the top. I usually wear orange high-grip gloves for the top-layer. = excellent grip on the wheel due to the latex bands of rubber. The problem with endurance-karting (if you're not used to it) is generally hand-grip gives out and /or forearms give out. So if you've got very sticky gloves, this means you don't have to grip the wheel in a vice-like grip so much. Thing is - you're concentrating so hard that often you don't realise how HARD you're gripping the wheel and you actually get some muscle-lock in your hands/fingers. So apart from the glove advice (pic attached of an orange high-grip glove) the next time, on the straights CONCIOUSLY flex your fingers as much as possible. it's important. pic attached, any hardware store like B&Q / Homebase, dirt-cheap - about 3 or 4 quid. Can be washed or chucked as desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
