If I remember correctly it was a type of plastic material on parts and cloths on others

I believe it is and It is doing a good job covering my thick/ bulky 2006 Avalon steering wheel, knowing that none will cover the full cicumrence 100%, but I liked it, so much that I ordered one for my wife's odyssey and thinking of ordering another couple as a spare.

I would say the actual weight of the steering wheel cover is less than 6 ounces. The weight on the web site is probably for shipping.

Depends why that is happening really. For instance if you have dry skin and your hands slip on a slick steering wheel, you may be gripping the wheel tighter than normal. With gloves you MAY have to grip less tightly and decrease cramping.

Sorry I don't have allergies regarding this type of material. It did keep my steering wheel comfortably cool during the blazing summer when my vehicle baked.

Hey there Ms Amanda Well I actually bought that steering wheel cover for my lil brother as birthday gift. I can not answer this question based off of my own experience BUT I called my lil brother and he said even when his car is sitting directly in the sun the steering wheel never too hot to touch just a lil warm. So all in all I say this is a great buy for the price. I hope this answered helped. :-)

What I did and it seemed to work find was stretch the entire wrap around your steering wheel. Keep the short cords at the bottom. Then use the long one to wrap around the cover. Keep each wrap an even distance apart. You should have plenty to make it all the way around. When you make it to the short cord tie it off and snip the extra. NOTE when you are wrapping the long cord try and keep it flat and tight. This will keep it smooth and prevent bunching up.

I have arthritis pretty bad in my hands and holding the wheel makes my hands hurt even more. I have found these gloves are great relief when I have to drive. Another comment suggested they may be slippery, making driving with them dangerous, but I have a fabric cover added to my steering wheel so it is not slippery at all. Without the steering wheel cover it might not be good to wear these while driving, I'm not sure.

I have had no reaction to salt residue. I will however say if the car is extremely dirty (like snowy highway driving) I would save some forearm abuse and give it a quick wash

I didn't notice any scratches but my car was covered in Georgia clay at the end of the trip ;-). I suppose you could put a pad behind it for extra protection.

I am not a good one to ask on this one as the Arizona dry climate prevents a lot of it. That particular part needs to hAVE HIGHER QUALITY CHROME PLATING or be made out of stainless steel. It is the weak link.

Ah,boy, that's a tough one.... Mine is fully exposed on a forklift and in the heat of the day the entire forklift is too hot to touch. It was 110* here yesterday, and I really try not to be outside working during the hottest part of the day... The steering wheel in my 09 Silverado gets too hot to handle if the sun is directly on it. I will try to check out the "heat" aspect of the knob today, and respond again...Ray

Kristen, we are not really fond of it. It does not harm the leather but it is big, but I do have small hands. Also, it does get really hot in the sun and the texture is strange, it feels sticky.

From what I remember this did not have that nasty bad chemical smell that most steering wheel covers have. In fact many products made in China have that same crappy chemical smell. This didn't.

I am usually in Phoenix. I have never been burned , but yes it can get very hot to the touch. A really nice cover though.

Sunshade, yes. But not a large diameter side hand wheel. (I assume this is what you mean by side wheel.)

I bought this cover because my steering wheel was looking rather ragged. I initially bought a cheap cover at a local chain store and the thing wreaked of toxins and made the eczema on my hands worse. That one lasted only a few hours before I took it off. I bought this steering wheel cover and it looks great and hasn't irritated the eczema on my hands. It is comfortable to the touch and doesn't slip at all. If you don't have any known allergies to silicone, you should be fine.
