Comfort During Longer Virtual Races
Warm hands and accumulated moisture can become distracting during extended sessions. The perforated construction helps manage airflow, while stretch fabric accommodates the repeated movements involved in steering and operating wheel-mounted controls.
The soft palm material prioritizes sensitivity at the wheel. Rather than relying on excessive gripping pressure, aim for a relaxed hold and a glove fit that lets your fingers move comfortably.
Choosing Your Sim Racing Glove Size
Measure your hand using the sizing guide and compare it with the available glove sizes. Check that your fingertips reach comfortably into the fingers and that the palm sits smoothly when you close your hand around the wheel.

Alpinestars Graphic 1 Sim Racing Glove FAQs
Are these gloves intended for sim racing or competition driving?
They are designed specifically for sim racing. Choose appropriately certified protective gloves for real-world racing applications that require them.
What does the Nanofront palm do?
The soft Nanofront® fabric provides a sensitive contact surface at the steering wheel. A 3D print on the palm adds grip detailing.
Can I operate a touchscreen while wearing the gloves?
Yes. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger are touchscreen compatible, allowing you to interact with compatible devices during your session.
Are the Graphic 1 gloves ventilated?
Yes. They feature large perforations across the back of the hand and smaller perforations on the palm and fingers to promote airflow.
Will these gloves work with my simulator?
They are worn directly on your hands and require no software, pairing, or connection to the simulator. They can be used while driving in titles such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and other racing simulations.
How should sim racing gloves fit?
Look for a close, comfortable fit with free finger movement and minimal material bunching against the wheel. Compare your hand measurements with the sizing chart before selecting a size.
How should I clean the gloves?
Follow the care label supplied with the gloves. Allow them to dry fully between sessions and avoid cleaning methods that conflict with Alpinestars' instructions.
