Sparco Futura Racing Gloves
The Sparco Futura Racing Gloves combine certified fire-resistant protection, dependable steering-wheel grip, and Sparco Full Efficiency regenerated fabric technology.

The fingers use a combination of internal and external seams to balance durability with interior comfort. A printed silicone palm provides secure steering-wheel traction while preserving the sensitivity and dexterity required for precise vehicle control.
Available in four colorways and sizes 8 through 13, the Sparco Futura is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards.
Sparco Full Efficiency Regenerated Fabric
The Sparco Futura is constructed with Sparco Full Efficiency fabric, a regenerated textile technology developed to reduce manufacturing waste while maintaining the performance required for motorsport use.
Excess textile material that would normally be discarded is recovered and processed into regenerated fibers. Sparco then uses proprietary spinning and weaving techniques to create new racing apparel materials within a more controlled production cycle.
The Full Efficiency program targets a minimum of 51 percent regenerated material within applicable production while preserving the comfort, protection, and durability expected from Sparco racing equipment.
Breathable Upper Construction

This combination of airflow and flexibility helps improve comfort during qualifying laps, sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
Hybrid Finger Stitching
The Sparco Futura uses hybrid finger stitching that combines internal and external seams. External stitching is placed in areas where interior seam pressure could affect comfort, while internal stitching helps protect selected seams from abrasion and wear.
This construction creates a close, responsive fit while helping reduce pressure points around the fingers during prolonged steering-wheel contact.
Printed Silicone Palm Grip
Printed silicone across the palm provides dependable traction against the steering wheel. The low-profile grip surface improves control without adding unnecessary thickness between the driver's hands and the wheel.
Enhanced palm traction allows the driver to maintain control with less gripping pressure, which can help reduce hand fatigue during longer races and repeated driving sessions.

Padded Knuckle Protection
A padded knuckle area provides additional comfort and protection when the hands are bent around the steering wheel. The padding helps protect the knuckles in tight cockpit environments while preserving the flexibility required for precise control.
Elasticated Wrist for a Secure Fit
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place while maintaining comfort and flexibility. The streamlined wrist design allows for easy entry and removal while providing dependable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
FIA and SFI-Approved Racing Protection
The Sparco Tide Nomex Gloves are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards. These certifications make them suitable for many professional, club-level, endurance, road-racing, rally, and grassroots motorsport applications.

Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves combine ultra-lightweight construction, exceptional steering-wheel grip, touchscreen compatibility, and certified fire-resistant protection. Designed for serious auto racing, the Arrow provides the comfort and dexterity drivers need for qualifying laps, sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
A seamless anatomical palm follows the natural shape of the hand, while Sparco-exclusive HTX grip material is strategically printed across key contact areas for maximum steering feel. Touch-S technology on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen electronics without removing their gloves.
Pre-curved fingers, external seams, and a unique internal thumb seam help reduce pressure points and hand fatigue. The Sparco Arrow is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards.
Sparco HTX Palm Technology
The palm features Sparco’s patented HTX material, a high-grip surface designed to increase traction, comfort, and dexterity. HTX is strategically positioned across the main steering-wheel contact areas to provide confident control without adding unnecessary bulk.
The low-profile grip pattern helps preserve steering feedback while reducing the amount of gripping pressure required to maintain control. This can help minimize hand fatigue during long races and repeated track sessions.
Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Sparco Touch-S technology places patented fire-resistant touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible data-acquisition displays, phone-based lap timers, and mobile applications without removing their gloves.
Touchscreen performance may vary depending on the device, screen protector, and operating conditions.
Anatomically Shaped Seamless Palm
The Sparco Arrow features an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. The seamless construction helps reduce excess material and uncomfortable pressure points while maintaining close contact with the steering wheel.
This ergonomic design improves dexterity when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are pre-curved to follow the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. This construction reduces resistance through the fingers and allows the driver to maintain a more relaxed grip.
The pre-curved fit is especially valuable during endurance racing and other long driving sessions where reducing hand fatigue is important.
External Seams for Improved Comfort
External stitching moves bulky seams away from the inside of the fingers. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce pressure points while gripping the steering wheel.
The external-seam construction also improves steering feel and comfort during extended competition use.
Unique Internal Thumb Seam
A specially positioned internal thumb seam helps improve comfort in one of the most heavily loaded areas of a racing glove. This construction provides a close, secure fit while reducing irritation around the thumb during prolonged steering-wheel contact.

Their period-inspired design recalls the historic Sparco and Martini Racing equipment used during the golden era of international rally competition, while updated materials and current FIA homologation make them suitable for modern motorsport.

Historic Martini Racing Design
The Land glove recreates the clean, understated appearance of vintage Sparco racing equipment associated with Martini Racing. Period-correct embroidered patches preserve the traditional look more effectively than modern printed graphics.

The flexible construction follows the movement of the hand while maintaining the coverage required for competitive motorsport use.
