Alpinestars Auto Racing Gear

Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Racing Gloves The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Gloves are engineered to deliver lightweight protection, direct steering feedback, and a close anatomical fit. A newly developed single-panel upper and reduced-material finger construction help minimize bulk without sacrificing the coverage required for competitive motorsport. The Tech-1 Start v4 is built around the way a driver naturally holds the steering wheel. Box-cut fingertips, strategically printed silicone grip zones, and a straight extended cuff work together to improve comfort, control, and ease of entry. Certified to the SFI 3.2/5A standard, these gloves are a strong choice for drivers who want dependable protection and a clean, performance-focused design. Reduced-Material Finger Design The Tech-1 Start v4 uses an innovative finger construction designed to reduce excess fabric around the hand. Removing unnecessary material helps the glove feel lighter and improves sensitivity when operating the steering wheel, shifter, switches, and other cockpit controls. The streamlined construction also reduces bunching inside confined cockpits, where precise hand movement and consistent steering feel are especially important. Single-Panel Upper Construction A single upper panel creates a smoother, more uniform fit across the back of the hand. Fewer material transitions help reduce pressure points and allow the glove to move naturally as the fingers flex around the steering wheel. This simplified construction also contributes to the glove’s low overall weight and clean exterior appearance. Box-Cut Fingertips The ring and middle fingers use a box-cut fingertip design without traditional fourchettes. This construction eliminates unnecessary side panels in key areas and creates a more anatomical shape around the fingertips. The result is a closer fit with less material between the driver and the controls, helping improve dexterity in tight cockpit environments. Silicone-Printed Palm Grip Ergonomically positioned silicone zones are printed across the palm to improve steering-wheel traction. The grip pattern is placed in the areas that experience the greatest contact during cornering, braking, and rapid steering inputs. The silicone surface provides control without adding a thick layer between the hand and the wheel, preserving tactile feedback and helping the driver maintain a relaxed grip. Straight Extended Cuff The Tech-1 Start v4 features a close-fitting, straight extended cuff that provides additional wrist coverage and dependable overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place while keeping the entry opening flexible enough for quick on-and-off use between sessions. Lightweight Cockpit-Focused Fit Every major design feature is intended to reduce unnecessary weight and bulk. The single-panel upper, compact finger construction, and low-profile grip zones create a glove that feels responsive without becoming restrictive. This close fit is especially beneficial for drivers working with small steering wheels, paddle shifters, radio controls, data-system buttons, and other tightly packaged cockpit equipment. SFI 3.2/5A Certified Protection The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Gloves are certified to the SFI 3.2/5A standard. This certification makes them suitable for many racing organizations that require approved fire-resistant driver gloves. Drivers should confirm the exact certification requirements of their sanctioning body before competition.

The Tech-1 Start v4 takes a different approach by simplifying the upper and reshaping the fingers around the driver’s natural hand position. This design helps the glove feel lighter, cleaner, and more connected to the steering wheel. The silicone palm adds traction where it is needed, while the extended cuff and elasticated wrist keep the glove securely positioned throughout a session.

Ergonomically positioned silicone grip sections across the palm and fingers improve traction without making the glove feel overly stiff. Additional outer grip zones provide improved control when operating switches, paddles, and other cockpit equipment. Internal and External Seam Construction The Tech-1 ZX v2 uses internal stitching around the thumb to improve tactile feedback when operating multiple push-buttons commonly found on modern racing steering wheels. The four fingers use external seams that move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This reduces pressure points and improves comfort, especially during endurance racing and extended track sessions. Pre-Curved Ergonomic Fit The ergonomic chassis and pre-curved fingers follow the natural position of the hands while holding a steering wheel. This helps reduce material bunching and driver fatigue while maintaining a secure and responsive fit. An open-cuff design with a 180-degree elasticated wrist makes the gloves easier to put on and remove while keeping them securely positioned during competition.

Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves deliver excellent steering feel, lightweight protection, and premium driving comfort at an accessible price. Developed with construction techniques found in higher-priced racing gloves, the Tech-1 Race v3 combines a bonded aramidic fiber shell, pre-curved fingers, strategically printed silicone grip, and a full-length protective gauntlet. A minimal-seam design helps reduce bulk and pressure points, while the open cuff and 180-degree elasticated wrist allow quick entry without sacrificing a secure fit.

The lighter design allows the driver to move naturally between the steering wheel, shifter, paddle controls, and cockpit switches while helping reduce fatigue during extended sessions. Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm The Tech-1 Race v3 is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers and a contoured palm reduce the effort required to close the hand and help prevent material from bunching in high-contact areas. This driving-specific shape promotes a more relaxed grip, allowing the driver to maintain control without unnecessary hand tension. Comfort-Focused Finger Construction Inside-stitched seams on all five fingers create a clean exterior and support dependable durability. The carefully shaped finger construction provides a close, responsive fit while maintaining the flexibility needed for steering and cockpit operation. Minimal seam placement across the glove helps reduce unnecessary material and creates a smoother connection between the hand and steering wheel. Extended Silicone Grip Printing Silicone printing extends across the palm and fingers to improve steering-wheel traction and tactile control. The grip pattern is positioned in key contact areas to help the driver maintain a secure hold during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering corrections. Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it provides dependable grip without the thickness of a separate palm layer. Direct Steering Feel and Control The lightweight palm and low-profile silicone print preserve sensitivity through the steering wheel. Drivers can feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in vehicle balance while maintaining consistent traction. This combination of grip and feedback helps reduce the need to squeeze the wheel excessively, supporting improved comfort and precision over longer runs. Single-Panel Full-Gauntlet Top A full-gauntlet single-panel upper provides streamlined coverage from the hand through the extended cuff. Reducing the number of material transitions helps lower weight and creates a clean, close-fitting profile. The extended cuff provides additional protection around the wrist and supports proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit. Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the Tech-1 Race v3 quick and easy to put on between sessions. A 180-degree elasticated wrist holds the glove securely once fitted without requiring a bulky external strap. The design combines easy entry in the pits with stable retention while the driver is in the car. Reduced-Weight Printed Graphics External printed design details give the glove a distinctive Alpinestars appearance without adding the weight and stiffness associated with heavier embroidered overlays. The low-profile graphics complement the glove’s lightweight construction while maintaining a professional competition look. FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition.

Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves The Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves combine lightweight comfort, practical hand protection, and the dexterity mechanics need when working in the garage, paddock, or pit lane. Their hybrid multi-material construction uses breathable stretch mesh, flexible fabric panels, and a durable synthetic suede palm to balance cooling performance with dependable grip and wear resistance. A strategically positioned TPR knuckle insert adds impact protection without making the glove feel excessively bulky. Conductive printing on the palm and fingers also allows mechanics and crew members to operate compatible tablets, phones, and handheld diagnostic devices without removing their gloves. Designed for Fast, Precise Pit Work Working around a race car requires a glove that protects the hands without interfering with tools, fasteners, switches, or small components. The Alpinestars Engine Pit Glove is shaped to support natural hand movement while maintaining the tactile feedback needed for detailed mechanical work. Its short-cuff design keeps the wrist area unrestricted, while the hook-and-loop closure allows the fit to be adjusted quickly and securely between jobs. Advanced TPR Knuckle Protection A flexible thermoplastic rubber insert is positioned across the knuckle area to help protect against bumps and impacts commonly encountered while working around engines, suspension components, bodywork, and workshop equipment. The low-profile design follows the shape of the hand, delivering added protection while preserving the flexibility required to grip tools and reach into confined areas. Breathable Stretch Construction Stretch mesh and flexible fabric panels across the top of the hand promote airflow and help reduce heat buildup during long work sessions. The lightweight materials conform to the hand and support repeated movement without creating unnecessary resistance. An ergonomic stretch insert between the thumb and palm improves mobility through one of the hand’s highest-movement areas, making it easier to grasp tools, lift parts, and operate equipment. Durable Synthetic Suede Palm The synthetic suede palm provides a combination of grip, durability, and tactile sensitivity. It helps the wearer maintain control of tools and components while remaining flexible enough for precision work. Strategic palm padding improves comfort when handling equipment or applying pressure, while reinforced synthetic suede around the thumb increases durability in an area exposed to frequent friction and wear. Touchscreen-Compatible Controls Conductive printing allows compatible touchscreen devices to be operated while the gloves remain on. This is useful for mechanics referencing setup data, entering service notes, checking timing information, or using diagnostic applications in the paddock. The touchscreen-compatible design reduces interruptions and helps keep the hands protected when moving between physical work and digital equipment. Strategic Finger Padding Two-millimeter foam padding is positioned along the fingers to improve comfort and fit without significantly reducing dexterity. The padding provides additional cushioning when handling tools, equipment, and vehicle components. The shaped finger construction supports a close, controlled fit, helping reduce excess material that could interfere with detailed tasks. Secure Short-Cuff Closure A hook-and-loop closure on the back of the hand allows the glove to be tightened for a precise and secure fit. The short cuff provides unrestricted wrist movement and makes the gloves quick to put on or remove during busy pit and workshop operations. Fade-Resistant Alpinestars Styling Sublimated graphics on the back of the hand create a distinctive Alpinestars appearance while resisting fading from regular use. The technical styling complements professional race-team apparel and workshop uniforms without compromising the glove’s functional design.
