Designed for serious competitors, the Tech-1 ZX v2 combines strategically positioned seams, a lightweight aramidic construction, and advanced palm grip technology.
Internal stitching around the thumb improves sensitivity when operating steering-wheel buttons and cockpit controls, while externally stitched finger seams reduce pressure points and provide a smooth, comfortable fit during long races.
Premium Nomex Racing Glove Construction
The Tech-1 ZX v2 features a flame-resistant aramidic fiber main construction with a bonded aramidic lining. This lightweight assembly helps regulate temperature while maintaining the flexibility and sensitivity required for precise driving.
Alpinestars uses lightweight printed graphics instead of heavier sewn-on details, helping reduce overall glove weight without sacrificing its professional appearance.

Advanced Palm Grip and Control
The inner palm is treated with latex to reduce small movements between the hand and glove while gripping the steering wheel. This helps provide a more secure and consistent connection during high-intensity driving.
Ergonomically positioned silicone grip sections across the palm and fingers improve traction without making the glove feel overly stiff. Additional outer grip zones provide improved control when operating switches, paddles, and other cockpit equipment.
Internal and External Seam Construction
The Tech-1 ZX v2 uses internal stitching around the thumb to improve tactile feedback when operating multiple push-buttons commonly found on modern racing steering wheels.
The four fingers use external seams that move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This reduces pressure points and improves comfort, especially during endurance racing and extended track sessions.
Pre-Curved Ergonomic Fit
The ergonomic chassis and pre-curved fingers follow the natural position of the hands while holding a steering wheel. This helps reduce material bunching and driver fatigue while maintaining a secure and responsive fit.
An open-cuff design with a 180-degree elasticated wrist makes the gloves easier to put on and remove while keeping them securely positioned during competition.

Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves | FIA Approved
$114.00
$227.00
Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves deliver excellent steering feel, lightweight protection, and premium driving comfort at an accessible price. Developed with construction techniques found in higher-priced racing gloves, the Tech-1 Race v3 combines a bonded aramidic fiber shell, pre-curved fingers, strategically printed silicone grip, and a full-length protective gauntlet.
A minimal-seam design helps reduce bulk and pressure points, while the open cuff and 180-degree elasticated wrist allow quick entry without sacrificing a secure fit. Certified to FIA 8856-2018, the Tech-1 Race v3 provides current fire-resistant protection for competitive motorsport.
Lightweight Aramidic Fiber Construction
The glove’s main structure is made from flame-resistant aramidic fiber bonded for an effective balance of protection, flexibility, and comfort. Alpinestars combines lightweight materials with carefully selected construction methods to reduce overall glove weight without compromising coverage.
The lighter design allows the driver to move naturally between the steering wheel, shifter, paddle controls, and cockpit switches while helping reduce fatigue during extended sessions.
Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm
The Tech-1 Race v3 is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers and a contoured palm reduce the effort required to close the hand and help prevent material from bunching in high-contact areas.
This driving-specific shape promotes a more relaxed grip, allowing the driver to maintain control without unnecessary hand tension.
Comfort-Focused Finger Construction
Inside-stitched seams on all five fingers create a clean exterior and support dependable durability. The carefully shaped finger construction provides a close, responsive fit while maintaining the flexibility needed for steering and cockpit operation.
Minimal seam placement across the glove helps reduce unnecessary material and creates a smoother connection between the hand and steering wheel.
Extended Silicone Grip Printing
Silicone printing extends across the palm and fingers to improve steering-wheel traction and tactile control. The grip pattern is positioned in key contact areas to help the driver maintain a secure hold during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering corrections.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it provides dependable grip without the thickness of a separate palm layer.
Direct Steering Feel and Control
The lightweight palm and low-profile silicone print preserve sensitivity through the steering wheel. Drivers can feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in vehicle balance while maintaining consistent traction.
This combination of grip and feedback helps reduce the need to squeeze the wheel excessively, supporting improved comfort and precision over longer runs.
Single-Panel Full-Gauntlet Top
A full-gauntlet single-panel upper provides streamlined coverage from the hand through the extended cuff. Reducing the number of material transitions helps lower weight and creates a clean, close-fitting profile.
The extended cuff provides additional protection around the wrist and supports proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the Tech-1 Race v3 quick and easy to put on between sessions. A 180-degree elasticated wrist holds the glove securely once fitted without requiring a bulky external strap.
The design combines easy entry in the pits with stable retention while the driver is in the car.
Reduced-Weight Printed Graphics
External printed design details give the glove a distinctive Alpinestars appearance without adding the weight and stiffness associated with heavier embroidered overlays.
The low-profile graphics complement the glove’s lightweight construction while maintaining a professional competition look.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. The fire-resistant aramidic construction and extended cuff meet modern requirements for heat and flame protection.

The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v3 Nomex Gloves are engineered to provide lightweight protection, precise steering-wheel control, and lasting comfort for competitive auto racing. Designed with a single upper panel and an innovative finger construction, these racing gloves reduce excess material throughout the fingers while lowering the overall weight of the glove.
The streamlined design creates a close, anatomically optimized fit that is especially beneficial inside confined racing cockpits. Drivers receive improved freedom of movement, reduced bulk, and a more direct connection with the steering wheel and vehicle controls.
Lightweight Single-Panel Construction
The single-panel upper construction minimizes unnecessary seams and material across the glove. This helps improve flexibility and reduces potential pressure points during long races, qualifying sessions, and track days.
By reducing excess fabric in the fingers, the Tech-1 Start v3 offers a more precise fit and improved dexterity without sacrificing the protection required for motorsport competition.
Innovative Finger Design
Box-cut fingertip construction provides a comfortable and natural finger position while helping reduce material buildup near the fingertips. The middle and ring fingers use a seamless, no-fourchette design that eliminates the traditional fabric panels between the fingers.
This construction creates a less restrictive feel and allows the glove to conform more closely to the driver’s hand. The reduced bulk is particularly useful when operating steering-wheel buttons, switches, paddles, and other controls inside compact racing cockpits.
Silicone Palm Grip
Ergonomically positioned silicone-printed zones across the palm provide enhanced grip on the steering wheel. The strategically placed silicone helps reduce unwanted hand movement and allows the driver to maintain control without applying excessive gripping pressure.
The improved grip can help reduce hand fatigue while providing a more consistent steering feel during demanding driving conditions.
Extended Elasticated Cuff
The close-fitting, straight cuff extends beyond the wrist to provide dependable coverage between the gloves and racing suit. An elasticated wrist allows for easy entry while helping keep the glove securely positioned once fitted.
The streamlined cuff design also reduces unnecessary bulk around the wrist and fits comfortably beneath or over the cuff of a compatible racing suit.

Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves
The Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves combine lightweight comfort, practical hand protection, and the dexterity mechanics need when working in the garage, paddock, or pit lane. Their hybrid multi-material construction uses breathable stretch mesh, flexible fabric panels, and a durable synthetic suede palm to balance cooling performance with dependable grip and wear resistance.
A strategically positioned TPR knuckle insert adds impact protection without making the glove feel excessively bulky. Conductive printing on the palm and fingers also allows mechanics and crew members to operate compatible tablets, phones, and handheld diagnostic devices without removing their gloves.
Designed for Fast, Precise Pit Work
Working around a race car requires a glove that protects the hands without interfering with tools, fasteners, switches, or small components. The Alpinestars Engine Pit Glove is shaped to support natural hand movement while maintaining the tactile feedback needed for detailed mechanical work.
Its short-cuff design keeps the wrist area unrestricted, while the hook-and-loop closure allows the fit to be adjusted quickly and securely between jobs.
Advanced TPR Knuckle Protection
A flexible thermoplastic rubber insert is positioned across the knuckle area to help protect against bumps and impacts commonly encountered while working around engines, suspension components, bodywork, and workshop equipment.
The low-profile design follows the shape of the hand, delivering added protection while preserving the flexibility required to grip tools and reach into confined areas.
Breathable Stretch Construction
Stretch mesh and flexible fabric panels across the top of the hand promote airflow and help reduce heat buildup during long work sessions. The lightweight materials conform to the hand and support repeated movement without creating unnecessary resistance.
An ergonomic stretch insert between the thumb and palm improves mobility through one of the hand’s highest-movement areas, making it easier to grasp tools, lift parts, and operate equipment.
Durable Synthetic Suede Palm
The synthetic suede palm provides a combination of grip, durability, and tactile sensitivity. It helps the wearer maintain control of tools and components while remaining flexible enough for precision work.
Strategic palm padding improves comfort when handling equipment or applying pressure, while reinforced synthetic suede around the thumb increases durability in an area exposed to frequent friction and wear.
Touchscreen-Compatible Controls
Conductive printing allows compatible touchscreen devices to be operated while the gloves remain on. This is useful for mechanics referencing setup data, entering service notes, checking timing information, or using diagnostic applications in the paddock.
The touchscreen-compatible design reduces interruptions and helps keep the hands protected when moving between physical work and digital equipment.
Strategic Finger Padding
Two-millimeter foam padding is positioned along the fingers to improve comfort and fit without significantly reducing dexterity. The padding provides additional cushioning when handling tools, equipment, and vehicle components.
The shaped finger construction supports a close, controlled fit, helping reduce excess material that could interfere with detailed tasks.
Secure Short-Cuff Closure
A hook-and-loop closure on the back of the hand allows the glove to be tightened for a precise and secure fit. The short cuff provides unrestricted wrist movement and makes the gloves quick to put on or remove during busy pit and workshop operations.
Fade-Resistant Alpinestars Styling
Sublimated graphics on the back of the hand create a distinctive Alpinestars appearance while resisting fading from regular use. The technical styling complements professional race-team apparel and workshop uniforms without compromising the glove’s functional design.
