FIA 8856-2018 Racing Gloves

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves The Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves build on the proven comfort and value of the original Land glove with a redesigned silicone grip system for greater steering control and feedback. Printed high-grip silicone across the palm and fingertips improves traction without adding excessive bulk between the driver and the steering wheel. An ergonomic palm shape follows the hand’s natural driving position, while reinforced stitching supports durability through repeated steering inputs and long race sessions. The elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned and allows quick entry and removal. Available in Black, Blue, Red, and Yellow, the Sparco Land+ combines updated grip technology, straightforward comfort, and dual FIA and SFI competition approval. Upgraded Grip Over the Original Sparco Land The primary difference between the Land+ and the standard Land glove is the palm treatment. Instead of traditional suede grip surfaces, the Land+ uses printed high-grip silicone across the palm and fingertips. This low-profile silicone pattern increases traction against the steering wheel while preserving the sensitivity needed to feel changes in steering load, tire grip, and vehicle response. Silicone Fingertips for Precise Cockpit Control Silicone grip extends onto the fingertips to improve control of paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and gear levers. The added traction helps reduce unwanted finger movement during rapid shifts and aggressive steering corrections. Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it provides grip without the bulk of a separate reinforcement layer. Ergonomic Palm Construction The palm is shaped around the natural position of the hand when gripping a steering wheel. This design helps reduce material bunching and keeps the glove aligned through braking, cornering, shifting, and repeated directional changes. Reinforced stitching supports the high-contact areas of the palm and helps the glove maintain its shape during regular competition use. Direct Steering Feedback The Land+ is designed to provide secure traction without isolating the driver from the wheel. Its streamlined palm construction allows steering vibration, resistance, and load changes to remain easy to feel. This combination of grip and sensitivity helps the driver maintain control with less squeezing pressure, which can reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions. Elastic Wrist for Quick Entry and Secure Retention An elasticated wrist holds the glove firmly in place without requiring a separate adjustment strap. The flexible opening makes the glove easy to put on and remove while maintaining a close fit once worn. The streamlined wrist also provides clean overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit. Four Competition Colorways The Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves are offered in four bold color options: Black Blue Red Yellow Each colorway uses the same ergonomic palm design, printed silicone grip, elastic wrist, and certified protective construction. FIA and SFI Approved Protection The Sparco Land+ is approved to the FIA 8856-2018 standard and carries SFI approval for competition use. Its dual certification makes it compatible with many racing organizations that require approved fire-resistant driver gloves.

OMP ONE-S Racing Gloves The OMP ONE-S Racing Gloves combine lightweight construction, direct steering feedback, and long-session comfort in a proven competition design. Updated graphics give the ONE-S a modern appearance, while external seams, pre-curved fingers, and ergonomically positioned silicone grip zones help the glove feel natural around the steering wheel. A diagonal-cut gauntlet keeps excess material away from the wrist, and the strapless elastic closure allows quick entry without adding bulk. FIA 8856-2018 homologation provides current fire-resistant protection for competitive motorsport. Pre-Curved for a Natural Driving Position The ONE-S is shaped around the position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Its pre-curved construction reduces resistance when closing the fingers and helps prevent excess fabric from gathering across the palm. This natural shape allows the driver to maintain a more relaxed grip, which can reduce hand fatigue during longer races and repeated track sessions. External Seams for Improved Comfort External stitching moves the primary finger seams away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior and reduces pressure points against the fingers while holding the wheel. The external-seam construction also improves fingertip comfort without compromising the close fit needed for accurate use of shifters, switches, buttons, and cockpit controls. Ergonomic Silicone Palm Grip Thin fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to improve steering-wheel traction while preserving sensitivity. The updated grip layout follows the contact areas of the hand rather than covering the entire palm with unnecessary material. Strategic placement helps reduce bunching and allows the glove to flex naturally as the driver changes grip or steering position. Direct Feedback Without a Bulky Palm The low-profile silicone print adds traction without creating a thick barrier between the hand and the steering wheel. This helps the driver feel steering effort, vibration, and changes in front-end grip more clearly. The result is a secure connection that does not require excessive squeezing pressure to maintain control. Diagonal-Cut Gauntlet The ONE-S uses a distinctive diagonal-cut gauntlet designed to reduce interference around the wrist. The angled cuff follows the natural overlap between the glove and racing suit sleeve, helping maintain freedom of movement. Its extended length provides the additional wrist coverage required by modern FIA standards while keeping the glove streamlined. Strapless Elastic Wrist An elastic wrist band keeps the glove securely positioned without using a hook-and-loop strap. The simple closure makes the ONE-S easy to put on and remove while eliminating a bulky adjustment point beneath the suit sleeve. The close wrist fit also helps prevent the glove from shifting during rapid steering corrections and high-load cornering. Latex-Treated Interior The interior receives a latex treatment designed to improve resistance and help the glove remain stable against the hand. This treatment supports a more consistent fit and reduces unwanted internal movement during aggressive driving.

Its construction focuses on the features that have the greatest effect behind the wheel: smooth internal comfort, secure steering-wheel grip, natural hand movement, and certified fire-resistant protection. The result is a dependable racing glove that feels refined without becoming overly complicated or bulky. 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. External stitching is often reserved for premium racing gloves because it can significantly improve comfort during long races, testing sessions, and repeated track use. Pre-Curved Driving Fit The OMP First is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers require less effort to close and help prevent excess material from bunching across the palm. This design supports a more relaxed grip, helping reduce hand fatigue while maintaining precise control 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 pattern helps maintain sensitivity and allows the driver to feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in front-end grip. 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 The grip zones are positioned to support the primary contact areas between the hand and steering wheel. This placement improves traction while allowing the glove to flex naturally through braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections. The combination of a pre-curved shape and thin printed grip helps the glove remain stable without restricting movement. Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet The straight-cut gauntlet gives the OMP First 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 improved protection against heat and flame exposure. Elasticated Wrist for Easy Entry An elastic band around the wrist keeps the glove securely fitted without requiring a hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening makes the OMP First easy to put on and remove between sessions while helping prevent unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs. The strapless design also eliminates a bulky adjustment point beneath the racing suit cuff. FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection The OMP First Racing Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. The 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 body before competition.
