A unique elastic cuff system provides secure racing-suit overlap without the bulk of a traditional wrist closure. Hybrid finger stitching places external seams along the palm side of the fingers for comfort, while internally stitched upper sections help protect the seams from wear.
The anatomically shaped palm follows the natural contour of the hand, while smooth printed silicone provides dependable grip, steering sensitivity, and dexterity. The Sparco Lap is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards.

The fingers feature a pre-curved shape that follows the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. This reduces resistance through the fingers and helps the driver maintain a relaxed grip during long racing sessions.
Sparco uses a hybrid stitching design that combines external and internal seams. The palm side of each finger uses external stitching to move seam pressure away from the inside of the hand. The upper side uses traditional internal stitching to help protect the seams from abrasion and wear.
External Palm-Side Seams
External seams along the palm side of the fingers create a smoother interior surface. This helps reduce pressure points while gripping the steering wheel and improves comfort during extended driving sessions.
The construction also provides a close, responsive feel when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Internally Stitched Upper Fingers
The upper sections of the fingers use internal stitching to help protect the seams from direct contact and abrasion. This provides additional durability without sacrificing the comfort benefits of external seams along the palm side.
The result is a balanced construction that delivers both comfort and dependable resistance to repeated racing use.
Anatomically Shaped Palm
The Sparco Lap has an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. This shape helps keep the glove properly positioned while gripping the steering wheel and reduces excess material that could interfere with steering feedback.
The ergonomic design improves dexterity and helps the driver maintain precise control during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering inputs.
Smooth High-Grip Silicone Palm
Smooth silicone grip material is printed directly onto the palm to improve traction against the steering wheel. The low-profile surface provides dependable grip without adding unnecessary thickness between the driver's hands and the wheel.

Although the styling is inspired by earlier generations of Sparco equipment, the construction has been updated to meet current performance and safety expectations. Modern fire-resistant materials and FIA 8856-2018 approval provide protection suitable for many present-day racing environments.
This combination of vintage appearance and current homologation allows drivers to maintain a period-correct look without relying on outdated protective equipment.
Ergonomic Palm Construction
The palm follows the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. Reinforced stitching helps the glove maintain its shape while reducing excess material and bunching in high-contact areas.
The shaped construction supports more consistent steering feedback and improves comfort during repeated steering inputs, gear changes, and extended driving sessions.
Suede Grip Surfaces
Suede material across the palm and fingertips improves traction against the steering wheel. The textured surface provides a secure, traditional grip while preserving the tactile feedback many drivers prefer from a classic racing glove.
Additional fingertip grip also improves control when operating switches, steering-wheel buttons, shifters, and other cockpit equipment.
Reinforced Stitching
Reinforced seams support the areas exposed to repeated flexing and steering-wheel contact. The durable construction helps the glove retain its fit and performance through regular racing use.
The stitching is positioned to complement the ergonomic palm design while maintaining the clean appearance associated with vintage motorsport equipment.
Elastic Wrist Support
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky external strap. The streamlined closure supports comfortable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
The elastic wrist also allows quick entry and removal between sessions while maintaining a close fit during competition.
FIA 8856-2018 Approved
The Sparco Land Martini Racing Gloves are approved to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. This homologation combines modern fire-resistant protection with the glove’s heritage-inspired appearance.

$145.00
Sparco Land Gulf Racing Nomex Gloves
The Sparco Land Gulf Racing Nomex Gloves combine classic endurance-racing style with modern fire-resistant protection. Inspired by the historic partnership between Sparco and Gulf Racing, these gloves recreate the clean, unmistakable appearance of period motorsport equipment while meeting current FIA 8856-2018 requirements.
Period-correct embroidered Gulf Racing and Sparco patches give the gloves an authentic heritage look. Beneath the vintage styling, a single-panel aramid construction, reinforced ergonomic palm, suede grip surfaces, and elastic wrist support provide the control and comfort required for modern competition.
Available in Navy or White, the Sparco Land Gulf Racing glove is designed for drivers who want FIA-approved protection with genuine endurance-racing character.
Gulf Racing Heritage Styling
The Gulf Racing Land glove celebrates one of motorsport’s most recognizable liveries. Its embroidered Gulf Racing emblem and Sparco badge reproduce the appearance of classic racing equipment associated with historic endurance competition.
Unlike a simple printed graphic, the embroidered patches provide added texture and a more authentic period-correct presentation. The understated design pairs especially well with historic race cars, Gulf-liveried vehicles, vintage driving suits, and heritage-inspired motorsport builds.
Modern Protection Beneath the Classic Design
Although the glove’s appearance is rooted in racing history, its protective construction has been updated for current competition. Fire-resistant aramid material provides modern heat and flame protection while preserving the flexible feel expected from a traditional racing glove.
The Sparco Land Gulf Racing glove is approved to FIA 8856-2018, allowing drivers to enjoy vintage styling without relying on outdated safety equipment.
Single-Panel Aramid Construction
The glove body uses a high-strength, fire-resistant aramid fabric formed into a streamlined single-panel design. Reducing unnecessary seams and material transitions creates a smooth feel across the hand and helps minimize bunching during prolonged steering-wheel contact.
The flexible construction follows the movement of the hand while maintaining the coverage required for competitive motorsport use.
Ergonomic Reinforced Palm
The palm is shaped to follow the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. Reinforced stitching helps the glove maintain its fit through repeated steering inputs while supporting durability in high-contact areas.
This ergonomic construction improves consistency between the hand and steering wheel, helping the driver maintain precise control during braking, cornering, and rapid corrections.
Suede Palm and Fingertip Grip
Strategically positioned suede reinforcement on the palm and fingertips provides dependable traction without creating a thick or disconnected feel. The traditional suede surface enhances steering-wheel grip while preserving tactile feedback.
Suede fingertips also improve control when operating switches, paddle shifters, gear levers, and steering-wheel buttons.
Internal Stitching for a Traditional Fit
Internal seam construction creates a clean exterior and preserves the classic appearance of the glove. The carefully shaped design helps reduce excess material around the palm and fingers while maintaining a close, secure fit.
The result is a traditional racing-glove feel with the durability and protection expected from current Sparco equipment.
Elasticated Wrist Support
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky strap or closure. The anti-slip construction reduces unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs and high-intensity driving.
The streamlined wrist also provides comfortable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated
The Sparco Land Gulf Racing Nomex Gloves are homologated to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. This certification confirms that the gloves meet current FIA requirements for heat and flame resistance.

Alpinestars
Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Gloves
$139.95
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.

Why the Tech-1 Start v4 Feels Different
Many entry-level racing gloves rely on traditional multi-panel finger construction that can create extra material around the fingertips. 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.

OMP Racing
OMP First Nomex Racing Gloves | FIA 8856-2018
$159.00
OMP First Nomex Racing Gloves
The OMP First Nomex Racing Gloves bring premium comfort and steering-wheel control to an accessible price point. Their lightweight construction combines external seams, a pre-curved hand shape, and low-profile silicone-rubber palm inserts to deliver the responsive feel drivers expect from more expensive racing gloves.
A straight-cut extended gauntlet provides clean overlap with a racing suit sleeve, while the elasticated wrist holds the glove securely without adding a bulky closure. Certified to FIA 8856-2018, the OMP First is designed for drivers who want modern fire-resistant protection with a simple, competition-focused fit.
Premium External-Seam Construction
External stitching moves the main finger seams away from the interior of the glove. This reduces pressure against the fingers while gripping the steering wheel and creates a smoother internal surface.
Often associated with higher-priced racing gloves, the external-seam design makes the OMP First more comfortable during long sessions and helps preserve direct contact with the wheel.
Pre-Curved for the Driving Position
The glove is shaped around the natural position of a driver’s hand. Pre-curved fingers reduce resistance when wrapping around the steering wheel, allowing the hand to remain more relaxed.
This design helps limit material bunching across the palm and fingers while supporting precise use of paddle shifters, buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Low-Profile Silicone-Rubber Palm Grip
Fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed across the palm to provide dependable steering-wheel traction without excessive thickness. The grip pattern improves control while maintaining the sensitivity needed to feel changes in steering load and vehicle feedback.
Because the grip material is applied directly to the palm, it adds traction without the bulk of a separate reinforcement layer.
Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet
The straight-cut gauntlet gives the glove a clean, streamlined appearance while providing the extended coverage required by current FIA standards. The longer cuff helps protect the wrist and maintains dependable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
An elastic band at the wrist holds the glove securely in place and allows quick entry and removal between sessions.
Comfort Without Unnecessary Complexity
The OMP First focuses on the features that make the greatest difference behind the wheel: smooth external seams, a natural pre-curved fit, secure palm traction, and lightweight fire-resistant construction.
Its uncomplicated design makes it a strong option for drivers who want a comfortable FIA-approved glove without paying for features they may not need.

Sparco Land Classic Nomex Gloves | FIA & SFI Approved
$139.00
Sparco Land Classic Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Land Classic Nomex Gloves bring traditional motorsport styling to a modern, competition-approved racing glove. Based on Sparco’s proven Land platform, the Land Classic uses vintage-inspired Cream and Navy colorways while retaining the fire-resistant protection, steering feedback, and secure fit required for current racing environments.
An ergonomic palm follows the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel, while reinforced stitching supports durability in high-contact areas. Updated suede grip material across the palm and fingertips improves traction without adding unnecessary bulk between the driver and the wheel.
Approved to both FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards, the Sparco Land Classic is a practical choice for drivers who prefer understated heritage styling over modern graphic-heavy glove designs.
Vintage Colorways with a Competition-Ready Construction
The defining feature of the Land Classic is its restrained, period-inspired appearance. The Cream and Navy color options complement historic race cars, vintage-style driving suits, restoration projects, and classic motorsport liveries without looking like a costume or replica accessory.
Beneath the traditional color palette is a fully modern protective glove engineered for sanctioned auto racing. This gives drivers the look of earlier motorsport equipment with the certification and construction expected from current Sparco safety gear.
Ergonomic Palm Designed Around the Steering Wheel
The palm is shaped to conform to the hand’s natural driving position. This reduces excess material when the fingers are wrapped around the steering wheel and helps the glove remain properly positioned during braking, cornering, and repeated steering corrections.
Reinforced stitching supports the palm structure and helps maintain the glove’s fit through regular use. The result is a stable, responsive connection between the driver and the wheel.
Updated Suede Grip at the Palm and Fingertips
Sparco redesigned the grip surfaces with suede anti-slip material across the palm and fingertips. The textured suede provides dependable traction while preserving the tactile feedback many drivers prefer from a traditional racing glove.
Fingertip reinforcement also improves control when using switches, paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, and gear levers. Unlike thick rubberized overlays, the suede grip maintains a soft, natural feel.
Elastic Wrist for Simple, Secure Retention
An elasticated wrist holds the glove securely in place without requiring an external strap or bulky closure. The streamlined design allows quick entry and removal while maintaining dependable overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve.
The elastic wrist also helps accommodate a wider range of hand shapes, contributing to the Land Classic’s comfortable and familiar fit.
Accessible Performance for Club and Professional Drivers
The Land Classic is positioned as an entry-level competition glove, but its construction includes the essential features drivers depend on: certified fire resistance, a shaped palm, reinforced stitching, suede grip, and a secure wrist.
Its straightforward design avoids unnecessary layers and complex closures, making it a strong value for drivers who want certified protection and clear steering feedback in a classic-looking glove.
Dual FIA and SFI Certification
The Sparco Land Classic Nomex Gloves are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards. Carrying both certifications makes the glove suitable for a wide variety of racing organizations and competition formats.
Drivers should verify the exact glove standard required by their sanctioning body before participating in an event.
