OMP Pro Mec Nomex Fire-Resistant Mechanic Gloves

The OMP Pro Mec Nomex Mechanic Gloves are designed to protect motorsport crew members during demanding pit-lane and service operations. Their fire-resistant Nomex construction, reinforced impact zones, and heavy-duty anti-slip palm provide the protection and control required for tire changes, refueling stops, and trackside mechanical work.

Durable reinforcement around the knuckles and between the thumb and forefinger helps protect high-contact areas from impact and abrasion. The bright yellow construction also improves visibility, making the gloves useful for driver signaling and fast-paced pit-lane communication.

Certified to the FIA 8856-2000 standard, the OMP Pro Mec provides professional-grade protection while maintaining the flexibility and dexterity mechanics need when handling tools, wheels, fuel equipment, and vehicle components.

Fire-Resistant Nomex Construction

The OMP Pro Mec is made from woven Nomex material that provides fire and heat resistance for motorsport pit-lane environments. The soft, flexible fabric allows the glove to move naturally with the hand while providing protective coverage around the fingers, palm, wrist, and cuff.

This construction helps protect crew members working around hot brakes, exhaust components, fuel systems, engines, and other heat-producing areas of a race vehicle.

Impact-Resistant Knuckle Protection

Reinforced sections around the knuckles help absorb impact during tire changes, wheel handling, and other mechanical tasks. These protective areas are positioned to guard the parts of the hand most likely to contact tools, wheels, suspension components, and bodywork.

The reinforced construction provides additional protection without making the gloves excessively bulky or difficult to work in.

Reinforced Thumb and Forefinger Area

The area between the thumb and forefinger receives additional reinforcement for improved durability and impact resistance. This high-wear area experiences substantial pressure when gripping wheel guns, handles, fuel cans, and other pit equipment.

The reinforcement helps reduce wear while maintaining the flexibility required for precise tool control.

Heavy-Duty Anti-Slip Palm

The palm features durable silicone and rubber grip material designed to improve traction on tools and equipment. The anti-slip surface provides a secure hold on impact wrenches, wheels, fuel cans, jacks, and other essential pit-lane equipment.

Improved palm grip allows mechanics to maintain control with less hand pressure, helping reduce fatigue during repeated service procedures and long race events.

Flexible Mechanic-Focused Fit

The soft woven Nomex construction provides a close but flexible fit that supports natural hand movement. The glove allows mechanics to grip, lift, turn, and operate tools without excessive material bunching around the fingers or palm.

This balance of protection and dexterity makes the OMP Pro Mec suitable for fast pit stops as well as extended trackside and workshop service work.

High-Visibility Yellow Construction

The bright yellow color improves visibility in crowded pit-lane environments. Crew members can use the gloves for clear hand signaling when guiding drivers into the pit box, coordinating vehicle movement, or communicating with other team members.

The high-visibility design also makes it easier to locate the gloves quickly among tools and equipment during time-sensitive service procedures.

Extended Protective Cuff

An extended cuff provides additional coverage around the wrist and lower forearm. This design helps create dependable overlap with compatible pit-crew apparel while protecting areas that may be exposed during reaching, lifting, or tool operation.

FIA 8856-2000 Approved Protection

The OMP Pro Mec Nomex Mechanic Gloves comply with the FIA 8856-2000 homologation standard. This certification makes them suitable for many professional, club-level, endurance, rally, and road-racing applications requiring approved protective equipment for pit crews.

Teams and crew members should confirm the required certification with their racing organization or sanctioning body before competition.
