Approved to the FIA 8856-2018 standard, the OMP Dijon is a distinctive choice for drivers who want certified protection, precise feedback, and traditional racing style.

Classic Motorsport-Inspired Design

The OMP Dijon draws inspiration from the gloves worn during the early years of sports-car and touring-car racing. Its understated graphics and traditional construction deliver an authentic vintage appearance without sacrificing modern performance or protection.

The classic styling makes the Dijon especially well suited for historic racing, vintage competition, restoration projects, and drivers who prefer a timeless motorsport look.

Fire-Retardant Elastic Fabric

The glove body is constructed from fire-retardant elastic fabric that provides flexibility and a close anatomical fit. The material stretches naturally as the driver grips and releases the steering wheel, helping preserve dexterity and comfort.

The streamlined construction reduces unnecessary bulk while providing the coverage required for competitive motorsport use.

High-Grip Suede Leather Palm

A suede leather palm provides a secure connection with the steering wheel and excellent tactile feedback. The high-grip surface supports precise steering inputs during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid direction changes.

The natural feel of the suede palm allows the driver to maintain control without excessive gripping pressure, helping reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.

Internal Seam Construction

The OMP Dijon uses internal stitching for a clean, traditional appearance. Carefully positioned seams help maintain a close fit while reducing excess material around the fingers and palm.

The smooth construction supports comfortable steering-wheel contact and dependable dexterity when operating shifters, switches, buttons, and other cockpit controls.

Secure Elastic Wrist Stop

An elastic wrist stop helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky external strap. The streamlined wrist construction provides a close fit beneath the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.

The elastic closure also makes the gloves easy to put on and remove while maintaining dependable racing-suit overlap.

FIA 8856-2018 Approved Protection

The OMP Dijon Racing Gloves are approved to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. This certification makes them suitable for many professional, amateur, historic, club-level, endurance, and road-racing applications.

Drivers should confirm the required certification and homologation date with their racing organization or sanctioning body before competition.
