Sparco Tide+ Nomex Gloves
$275.00
Sparco Tide+ Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Tide+ Nomex Racing Gloves are premium auto-racing gloves designed to deliver exceptional grip, vibration reduction, protection, and comfort during demanding competition. Featuring Sparco’s exclusive 3D HTX palm material, the Tide+ helps provide a secure connection with the steering wheel while reducing vibration and hand fatigue during long races and extended driving sessions.
An anatomically shaped, pre-curved construction follows the natural contour of the hand for improved dexterity and precise control. External seams reduce pressure points along the fingers, while padded knuckle protection adds comfort and protection in confined racing cockpits.
Advanced 3D HTX Palm Technology
The palm and fingers feature Sparco’s exclusive 3D HTX material, an advanced shock-absorbing surface designed to improve grip, isolate steering-wheel vibration, and increase dexterity.
The hollow volcano-shaped HTX structures are strategically arranged across the palm to improve durability and provide consistent contact with the steering wheel. This specialized surface helps drivers maintain control without applying excessive grip pressure, reducing fatigue during intense racing conditions.
Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Sparco Touch-S technology places fire-resistant, touchscreen-compatible material on the index finger and thumb. This allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen data-acquisition systems, mobile lap-timing applications, and communication devices without removing their gloves.
The touchscreen functionality adds convenience between sessions while preserving the certified protection and performance-focused construction of the glove.
Anatomical Pre-Curved Fit
The Sparco Tide+ features an anatomically correct palm and pre-curved finger design that follows the natural shape of the hand. This reduces material bunching and provides a more comfortable grip around the steering wheel.
The pre-shaped construction also improves handling precision and allows the fingers to move naturally when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel controls, switches, and other cockpit equipment.
External Seams for Maximum Comfort
Externally stitched seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers. This helps reduce pressure points and creates a smoother interior surface for improved comfort and steering-wheel feel.
The external-seam construction is especially beneficial during endurance racing and long driving sessions where conventional internal seams may create irritation or discomfort.
Padded Knuckle Protection
Additional padding across the knuckle area provides greater comfort and protection when the hands are bent around the steering wheel. This feature is particularly useful in tight cockpits where the driver’s hands may come into contact with nearby controls or interior surfaces.
The protective padding is designed to provide added coverage while preserving the flexibility needed for precise steering input.
Secure Extended-Cuff Design
A straight-cut extended cuff provides dependable coverage between the racing glove and suit sleeve. The elasticated wrist closure creates a close, secure fit while allowing the glove to be put on and removed easily.
This streamlined cuff construction helps keep the glove properly positioned without adding unnecessary bulk around the wrist.
FIA and SFI-Approved Racing Protection
The Sparco Tide+ Racing Gloves are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards, making them suitable for many professional, club-level, endurance, road-racing, rally, and grassroots motorsport applications.
