OMP Sport Gloves FIA 8856-2018

The OMP Sport Gloves provide certified fire-resistant protection, dependable steering-wheel grip, and lightweight comfort at an accessible price. Homologated to the FIA 8856-2018 standard, these racing gloves are well suited for HPDE events, autocross, time trials, club racing, and other motorsport applications requiring approved driver equipment.

Silicone printing across the palm creates a secure connection with the steering wheel, while the elasticated wrist makes the gloves easy to put on and helps keep them securely positioned throughout each session. Their straightforward construction gives drivers the protection and control they need without unnecessary bulk.

Certified Protection at an Accessible Price

The OMP Sport Gloves are designed for drivers who need current FIA-approved protection without moving into a premium racing-glove price category. They combine essential safety features with a comfortable construction that works well for both developing drivers and experienced club-level competitors.

FIA 8856-2018 homologation makes them suitable for many competitive motorsport events requiring certified fire-resistant driver apparel. Drivers should always confirm the specific equipment requirements of their sanctioning organization or racing series.

Silicone-Printed Palm Grip

Silicone printing across the palm improves traction between the glove and steering wheel. The low-profile design helps provide a secure grip without adding a bulky reinforcement layer that could reduce steering feedback.

The additional traction allows the driver to maintain control with a more relaxed grip, which can help reduce unnecessary hand and forearm fatigue during longer sessions.

Lightweight Driving Comfort

The lightweight construction allows natural hand movement and maintains sensitivity through the steering wheel. This makes the OMP Sport a practical option for track days, qualifying sessions, sprint races, and extended driving events.

A close-fitting design minimizes excess material around the hand while allowing the driver to operate paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and other cockpit controls with confidence.

Elasticated Wrist Entry

An elasticated wrist opening allows quick entry and removal while helping keep the glove securely positioned during competition. The streamlined closure eliminates the need for a bulky adjustment strap and provides a clean overlap with compatible racing-suit sleeves.

Versatile OMP Styling

The OMP Sport Gloves are offered in multiple color combinations, allowing drivers to coordinate them with OMP racing suits, shoes, helmets, and other equipment. Their modern graphics provide a recognizable competition look while maintaining a practical, performance-focused design.
