Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Gloves Graphic 1
from $71.00
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Gloves Graphic 1
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Gloves Graphic 1 deliver lightweight comfort, responsive steering-wheel grip, and bold karting style for drivers who demand consistent control throughout every session. Their flexible construction supports natural hand movement while helping racers stay comfortable during practice, qualifying, and competition.
A synthetic suede palm provides durability and steering sensitivity, while strategically positioned silicone printing increases traction across the palm and fingers. The pre-curved shape, ventilated finger construction, and elasticated open cuff create a secure, race-ready fit without unnecessary bulk.
Lightweight Construction for Long Karting Sessions
The Tech-1 K Race V2 Graphic 1 uses lightweight polyester bonded with polymesh to balance flexibility, durability, and airflow. This construction helps the glove conform closely to the hand while remaining comfortable during extended periods behind the wheel.
The lightweight upper reduces excess material and allows the driver to maintain a direct connection with the kart steering wheel.
Synthetic Suede Palm for Steering Feel
A synthetic suede palm provides a durable contact surface while preserving the sensitivity needed for precise steering inputs. The material helps resist wear caused by repeated contact with the wheel without creating an overly thick or padded feel.
This close connection allows racers to feel small changes in steering resistance and react more confidently through technical sections of the track.
Silicone Grip Across the Palm and Fingers
Ergonomically placed silicone printing increases traction in the areas where the hand contacts the steering wheel. The grip pattern helps reduce unwanted hand movement during quick corrections, heavy cornering loads, and demanding race conditions.
Improved traction also allows the driver to maintain control without gripping the wheel excessively tightly, helping reduce fatigue during longer sessions.
Flexible and Ventilated Finger Construction
Mesh fourchettes are used between selected fingers to promote airflow, while Lycra panels provide stretch where greater flexibility is needed. This combination supports natural finger movement and helps manage heat inside the glove.
The mixed-material finger construction improves comfort without sacrificing the close fit required for responsive kart control.
Pre-Curved Race-Ready Fit
The fingers and palm are shaped in a pre-curved driving position that closely follows the natural form of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. This reduces material bunching and helps the glove feel more natural from the moment it is worn.
The ergonomic shape supports consistent hand positioning and can help reduce strain during repeated steering inputs.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design allows the glove to slide on easily, while the 180-degree elasticated wrist provides a close and secure fit. The cuff remains streamlined around the wrist and helps prevent the glove from shifting during use.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-compatible material on the thumb and index finger allows racers to operate many smartphones, lap-timing devices, and touchscreen electronics without removing the gloves.
This practical feature makes it easier to check timing data, review session information, or adjust device settings between heats.
Graphic 1 Styling
The Graphic 1 design combines distinctive digital artwork with Alpinestars branding for a bold appearance on the track. The detailed graphics give the glove a professional motorsport look while maintaining the lightweight performance construction of the Tech-1 K Race V2 platform.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves
$71.00
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves combine lightweight construction, responsive steering-wheel grip, and a bold digital design for recreational and competitive kart racers. Polyester bonded with polymesh provides a flexible, breathable feel while helping the gloves withstand regular track use.
Internal seams create a traditional close-fitting profile, while the synthetic suede palm offers durability and direct steering feedback. Ergonomically positioned silicone printing across the palm and fingers increases traction, helping drivers maintain confident control throughout practice sessions, qualifying runs, and races.
Lightweight Performance for Warm Karting Conditions
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical uses a lightweight polyester-mesh construction designed to provide excellent feel and enhanced comfort in warm weather. The flexible upper follows the shape of the hand without adding unnecessary bulk between the driver and steering wheel.
This breathable construction makes the glove especially useful for indoor karting, summer competition, and extended track sessions where heat and moisture can reduce comfort.
Synthetic Suede Palm for Durability and Feel
The palm is constructed from synthetic suede to balance wear resistance with steering sensitivity. It creates a durable contact surface without the heavy or padded sensation that can reduce feedback from the wheel.
The close palm construction allows drivers to feel subtle changes in steering resistance and make precise corrections through technical corners.
Ergonomic Silicone Palm Grip
Strategically placed silicone printing across the palm and fingers improves traction against the steering wheel. This added grip helps limit unwanted hand movement during aggressive steering inputs, braking zones, and high-load corners.
Because the silicone surface helps hold the wheel securely, drivers can maintain control without squeezing excessively tightly, which may help reduce fatigue over longer sessions.
Mesh and Lycra Finger Fourchettes
The finger construction combines mesh fourchettes on one half of the fingers with Lycra panels on the other half. This combination provides a balance of airflow, flexibility, and durability.
The mesh sections encourage ventilation between the fingers, while the Lycra panels stretch naturally as the hand opens, closes, and moves around the steering wheel.
Pre-Curved Finger and Palm Design
The fingers and palm are shaped in a pre-curved driving position that follows the natural form of the hand while holding a kart steering wheel. This design helps reduce material bunching around the fingers and palm.
A more natural driving shape supports consistent steering feel and reduces the resistance that can occur when a flat glove is forced into a gripping position.
Internal-Seam Construction
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical uses internal seams for a traditional karting-glove fit. The lightweight materials, flexible fourchettes, and pre-curved shape work together to maintain comfort while keeping the glove close to the hand.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the glove easy to put on and remove. A 180-degree elasticated wrist stretches during entry and then fits securely around the wrist to help prevent movement while driving.
The streamlined gauntlet cuff also provides comfortable coverage between the glove and kart suit sleeve.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate many smartphones, lap timers, and touchscreen electronics without removing the gloves.
This makes it easier to review lap data, adjust timing applications, or use a mobile device between sessions.
Distinctive Vertical Graphic Design
The Vertical edition features an aggressive digital print that gives the glove a recognizable appearance on the track. The graphic treatment complements the performance-focused construction without adding weight or restricting movement.
