OMP First Evo Racing Gloves
Â
The OMP First Evo Racing Gloves deliver premium comfort, responsive steering feel, and FIA-certified protection at an accessible price. Their lightweight construction combines external seams, a pre-curved hand shape, and low-profile silicone-rubber palm inserts to provide many of the features normally associated with higher-priced competition gloves.
An elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without adding a bulky closure, while the straight-cut extended gauntlet provides clean overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. FIA 8856-2018 homologation makes the OMP First Evo a dependable option for modern motorsport competition.
Premium Comfort Without the Premium Price
The OMP First Evo is designed for drivers who want advanced glove construction without moving into the highest price category. Its streamlined design focuses on the features that make the greatest difference behind the wheel: reduced pressure points, secure grip, natural hand movement, and lightweight fire-resistant protection.
This combination makes the First Evo a strong choice for drivers who value both performance and overall value.
External Seams Reduce Pressure Points
The primary finger seams are positioned on the outside of the glove rather than against the driver’s skin. This creates a smoother interior and reduces pressure along the fingers while gripping the steering wheel.
External stitching is often found on premium racing gloves because it can significantly improve comfort during endurance races, testing sessions, and long track days.
Pre-Curved Driving Fit
The OMP First Evo is shaped around the natural position of the hand while holding a steering wheel. Its pre-curved fingers require less effort to close and help prevent excess material from gathering across the palm.
This driving-specific shape promotes a more relaxed grip, reducing hand fatigue while maintaining precise operation of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and gear levers.
Printed Silicone-Rubber Palm Grip
Fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to provide dependable steering-wheel traction with minimal added thickness. The low-profile grip improves control while preserving sensitivity through the wheel.
Drivers can maintain a secure hold while still feeling steering resistance, vibration, and changes in front-end grip.
Maximum Grip with Minimum Bulk
The printed grip surface eliminates the need for a thick, separate palm reinforcement layer. This helps the glove flex naturally and keeps unnecessary material away from the primary steering-wheel contact areas.
The combination of silicone grip and a pre-curved palm allows the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively.
Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet
The straight-cut gauntlet gives the OMP First Evo a clean, traditional appearance while providing additional wrist coverage. Its extended length helps maintain proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
The longer cuff is designed in accordance with current FIA homologation requirements for increased protection against heat and flame exposure.
Elasticated Wrist for Secure Retention
An elastic band around the wrist keeps the glove securely fitted without requiring a hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening makes the First Evo easy to put on and remove while helping prevent unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs.
The strapless design also eliminates a bulky adjustment point beneath the racing suit sleeve.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The OMP First Evo Racing Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. Their fire-resistant construction and extended cuff provide current protection for the hands and wrists in demanding motorsport environments.
Drivers should verify the exact glove certification required by their sanctioning organization before competition.

OMP First Nomex Racing Gloves | FIA 8856-2018 (NEW)
$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.

External Seams for Maximum Comfort
The finger seams are positioned on the outside of the glove rather than against the driver’s skin. This creates a smoother internal surface and reduces pressure points when the fingers are wrapped around the steering wheel.

Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it improves control without creating the bulk of a separate palm reinforcement layer.
Secure Grip with Minimal Material Bunching

Updated to meet the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, the First-S is designed for drivers who want modern safety and straightforward performance without stepping into a premium price category.
Silicone printing across the palms and fingers improves traction and control, while redesigned finger inserts provide a closer, more comfortable fit. A straight-cut cuff with an elasticated wrist allows quick entry and keeps the glove securely positioned throughout each session.
Affordable FIA-Approved Performance
The OMP First-S is built for drivers who need certified protection and reliable control at a practical price. Its lightweight construction focuses on the features that matter most behind the wheel: grip, comfort, flexibility, and current FIA approval.

Extending the silicone onto the fingers also improves control of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and other cockpit controls.
Improved Finger Inserts
Redesigned finger inserts help the glove follow the natural shape of the hand more closely. The improved construction reduces excess material and supports better comfort around the fingers during repeated steering inputs.
A more precise fit can also improve dexterity and reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
Comfort for Extended Track Use
The OMP First-S is designed to remain comfortable through repeated laps and long track days. Its lightweight materials allow natural hand movement while minimizing unnecessary pressure and bulk.
The close-fitting construction helps the driver maintain a relaxed grip rather than squeezing the wheel excessively to stay in control.
Straight-Cut Elasticated Wrist
A straight-cut cuff gives the First-S a clean, traditional appearance and allows easy overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. The elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop strap.
The flexible opening also makes the gloves quick and easy to put on or remove between sessions.
Modern OMP Styling
The OMP First-S features updated graphics and is available in multiple color options. Drivers can coordinate the gloves with OMP suits, shoes, helmets, and other racing equipment for a consistent competition look.

Snell SA2025 Certified Racing Protection
The OMP GP-A is certified to Snell SA2025, providing protection tested to the current Snell automotive racing helmet standard.
This certification establishes performance requirements for helmet impact protection and additional safety characteristics relevant to automobile competition.
The GP-A is designed for motorsport events that accept Snell SA2025-rated full-face helmets, making it an excellent option for drivers upgrading their existing equipment or purchasing their first competition helmet.
Important: The OMP GP-A SA2025 is listed with Snell certification. FIA 8859-2024 homologation is not specified for this model. Always confirm your sanctioning organization's current helmet requirements before racing.
Lightweight Carbon-Fiberglass Composite Shell
The OMP GP-A features a premium carbon-fiberglass composite shell engineered to balance structural strength, impact resistance, and overall weight.
By incorporating advanced composite materials, OMP delivers durable racing helmet construction without the premium pricing associated with dedicated full-carbon motorsport helmets.
The shell works together with the internal impact liner to provide the protective performance required by its Snell SA2025 certification.
For drivers competing in extended sessions, the helmet's composite construction and secure fit help support comfort throughout demanding racing conditions.
Advanced Single-Piece Energy-Absorbing Impact Liner
Inside the GP-A is an advanced single-density, single-piece impact liner designed to maximize energy absorption during a motorsport incident.
This protective component works together with the composite outer shell to manage impact forces.
Proper helmet sizing is critical for maintaining the intended protective performance of the shell and liner.
A correctly fitted helmet should remain securely positioned around the head without excessive movement or uncomfortable pressure points.
Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling With Integrated Chin-Bar Gurney
The OMP GP-A incorporates an integrated front chin-bar gurney designed to support aerodynamic stability.
The helmet's aggressive profile combines purposeful racing aesthetics with functional airflow management.
Its integrated aerodynamic features help manage airflow around the front of the helmet during high-speed driving.
This configuration makes the GP-A an attractive choice for drivers seeking a race-ready helmet with modern appearance and built-in aerodynamic functionality.
Advanced Multi-Point Ventilation System
The GP-A features a comprehensive ventilation system designed to improve driver comfort during demanding racing conditions.
Airflow enters through the helmet's forehead vents, upper chin-bar openings, and six upper air intakes.
Rear-facing lower chin-bar vents support additional airflow exchange and help manage ventilation around the driver's face.
This arrangement provides multiple airflow paths rather than relying on a single intake location.
The system is particularly useful during warm-weather racing, extended driving sessions, and motorsport events where ventilation contributes to driver comfort.
Six Top Air Intakes for Improved Cooling
The upper section of the OMP GP-A incorporates six air intake openings designed to support effective ventilation.
These intakes work with the helmet's forehead and chin-bar ventilation features to encourage airflow through the interior.
Improved airflow can help reduce heat buildup while maintaining the comfortable fit needed during extended track sessions.
The GP-A's six-intake configuration is specific to this model and differs from other OMP helmets with different ventilation layouts.
Medium-Wide Eyeport for Racing Visibility
The OMP GP-A uses a medium-wide eyeport designed to provide a practical field of vision while maintaining the helmet's full-face protective design.
Its eyeport allows drivers to monitor surrounding traffic, mirrors, cockpit instruments, and corner workers during competitive driving.
The eyeport works with the OMP V1 shield system to provide clear visibility and convenient replacement shield compatibility.
OMP V1 Racing Shield and Pivot System
The GP-A uses the OMP V1 shield and pivot system, designed specifically for compatible OMP racing helmet applications.
The shield incorporates a positive sealing arrangement to help maintain closure during motorsport use.
Compatible replacement shields are available separately in selected configurations, depending on manufacturer availability.
Drivers should use genuine or approved OMP V1 shield components and matching pivot hardware.
Always verify compatibility before purchasing tinted shields, replacement hardware, or other visor accessories.
Synthetic Rubber Eyeport Gasket for Dust and Water Resistance
The OMP GP-A features a synthetic rubber gasket around the visor opening.
The gasket helps create a protective seal between the racing shield and helmet shell when the visor is properly closed.
This design helps reduce unwanted dirt, water, and debris entering the helmet.
Its sealing performance is particularly useful in changing weather conditions and dirt racing environments.
Inspect the gasket and shield hardware regularly to ensure they remain in proper condition.
Comfortable Fire-Resistant Interior
The OMP GP-A includes a black high-strength, high-comfort fire-resistant interior designed for competitive motorsport use.
The interior combines supportive cushioning with a secure fit to help maintain comfort during extended racing sessions.
A correctly fitted helmet should provide even pressure around the head while remaining stable during movement.
Follow OMP's recommended interior care instructions to preserve the condition of the comfort materials.
HANS and FHR Compatibility With M6 Mounting Terminals
The OMP GP-A includes factory-installed M6 threaded terminals designed for compatible frontal head restraint anchors.
These mounting provisions allow approved HANS/FHR anchor hardware to be installed without modifying the helmet shell.
FHR compatibility is an important consideration for drivers participating in racing events requiring approved head-and-neck restraint systems.
Important: The GP-A includes M6 mounting terminals, but the actual HANS/FHR anchor posts are sold separately.

Lightweight Composite Shell Construction
The OMP GP-I features a durable lightweight composite shell developed to provide effective head protection while helping reduce unnecessary helmet weight.
Helmet weight and balance are important considerations during demanding track sessions, particularly when drivers experience sustained cornering forces and repeated braking loads. The GP-I's lightweight construction helps improve overall comfort while maintaining its protective design.
This combination makes the helmet suitable for sprint racing, endurance events, and recreational track driving where a comfortable, stable helmet fit is essential.
Advanced Multi-Density Impact Protection
Inside the composite shell, the OMP GP-I uses an advanced multi-piece, multi-density energy-absorbing liner designed to help manage impact forces.
The different liner densities work together to absorb and distribute impact energy during an incident, providing an important part of the helmet's overall protective structure.
Combined with the outer composite shell, this construction helps the GP-I meet the requirements of the Snell SA2025 automotive racing helmet standard.
Fire-Retardant Nomex Interior for Racing Comfort
The GP-I incorporates a soft fire-retardant Nomex interior lining developed for automotive motorsports use.
The interior materials provide a comfortable surface against the driver's head while incorporating the flame-resistant properties expected from professional racing equipment.
The helmet's ergonomic design supports a secure fit and helps reduce discomfort during longer sessions behind the wheel.
Open-Face Design for Exceptional Driver Visibility
The OMP GP-I open-face racing helmet is designed for drivers who prioritize a wide, unobstructed field of vision and convenient communication while driving.
Without a full-face chin bar, the GP-I allows easier communication with crew members and instructors and provides increased facial openness compared with traditional full-face helmet designs.
This configuration is especially popular in rally, autocross, historic racing, and certain track-day applications.
Important: Open-face helmets provide less facial coverage than full-face helmets. Always confirm that an open-face design is permitted and appropriate for your vehicle, competition, and sanctioning body's safety requirements.
Adjustable Visor Peak with Anti-Glare Sun Strip
The OMP GP-I includes an adjustable visor peak with an integrated light smoke anti-glare strip to help improve comfort and visibility in bright driving conditions.
