Sliding into the cockpit in the dead of winter can be an adventure, especially if your car or truck doesn’t have creature comforts like auto start and heated seats. A heated steering wheel is a heck of a perk of modern cars too. But most older vehicles lack these features. Seat covers will help keep vinyl and leather seats from feeling icy on your bum and back—but what about your fingers on that shocking-cold steering wheel?
A steering-wheel cover is the answer. Made of modern, breathable, and soft but grippy materials, today’s steering-wheel covers are a far cry from the slippery sheepskin ones your grandpa used (more on those later). They come in many styles, designs, and textiles. But we admit it—the aesthetic isn’t for everyone.
Either way, the benefits are undeniable, and this accessory makes a thoughtful and affordable gift. Here are five steering-wheel covers we’d actually consider using in our own cars.
