Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes give young racers the comfort, support, and precise pedal feedback needed for competitive karting. Developed specifically for junior drivers, the Tech-1 K Youth v2 combines a durable nubuck microfiber upper with an anatomical fit, reinforced protection, and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole. A revised forefoot profile reduces unnecessary bulk around the pedals, while the asymmetric lacing system creates a secure and supportive fit. Strategic perforations improve airflow, and reinforced toe and heel areas help the shoes withstand the repeated wear associated with practice, qualifying, and racing. Youth Karting Shoes Built for Control The Tech-1 K Youth v2 is designed to help developing drivers maintain a stable connection with the kart. Its lightweight construction supports natural ankle movement, while the low-profile outsole provides the sensitivity needed for smooth brake and throttle inputs. The close-fitting design also helps reduce unwanted foot movement inside the shoe, giving young racers greater confidence during fast pedal transitions and demanding race sessions. Durable Nubuck Microfiber Construction The upper uses a durable combination of nubuck and microfiber materials for support, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Strategically positioned perforated zones improve ventilation without compromising the shoe’s supportive structure. This lightweight construction helps keep the foot comfortable during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends. Enhanced Anatomical Fit An updated anatomical profile follows the natural shape of the foot more closely. The flatter forefoot reduces excess material around the toes and improves the driver’s connection with closely positioned kart pedals. This streamlined fit supports more accurate brake pressure and throttle modulation while maintaining room for natural foot movement. Dual Asymmetric Closure System The asymmetric closure combines aramidic speed lacing with an adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap. Positioning the closure away from the center of the foot helps distribute pressure more evenly and creates a secure, personalized fit. Durable para-aramidic eyelets support the lacing system during repeated adjustment and regular racing use. Ergonomic Heel Counter An ergonomic polypropylene foot counter supports and stabilizes the heel during braking and rapid pedal transitions. This structure helps reduce unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to operate naturally. Reinforced Toe Protection External reinforcements on both sides of the toe improve abrasion resistance in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart. External Heel Reinforcement A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel adds durability and abrasion resistance while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and moving through the paddock. Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole The Tech-1 K Youth v2 uses an ultra-thin outsole inspired by Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide dependable grip and clear pedal feedback. The low-profile construction helps young drivers feel changes in brake pressure and throttle position in both wet and dry karting conditions. Comfortable Low-Cut Collar The soft microfiber collar is cut lower at the rear to reduce pressure around the Achilles area. This improves ankle mobility and comfort during repeated braking and acceleration. Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides additional cushioning without adding unnecessary bulk. Perforated Padded Tongue The tongue includes soft padding to cushion the top of the foot and perforations that improve airflow. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create a comfortable and secure fit.

Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Karting Gloves The Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Karting Gloves are purpose-built for racers who compete through rain, cold temperatures, and challenging track conditions. Their three-layer construction combines a windproof ripstop outer shell, waterproof membrane, and soft microfleece lining to help keep the hands warm, dry, and responsive. A strategically printed silicone palm provides dependable steering-wheel traction when moisture makes grip more difficult. Pre-curved fingers, an ergonomically shaped palm, and a secure gauntlet cuff give the Tempest V3 the fit and control needed for serious wet-weather karting. Three-Layer Wet-Weather Construction The Tempest V3 uses a specialized three-layer structure designed around cold and rainy racing conditions. The durable outer shell helps block wind, the internal membrane resists water penetration, and the fleece lining provides insulation against low temperatures. This layered construction offers significantly more weather protection than a conventional lightweight kart glove while remaining flexible enough for precise steering inputs. Waterproof Membrane with Internal Seams An integrated waterproof membrane helps protect the hands against rain, standing water, and spray from other karts. Internal seam construction supports the weather-resistant design by reducing exposed stitching on the outside of the glove. The Tempest V3 is intended to maintain comfort in sustained wet conditions, making it a practical option for rain races, winter testing, and unpredictable race weekends. Windproof Ripstop Outer Shell The outer shell uses a durable ripstop material that helps resist wind and everyday abrasion. Blocking cold airflow is especially important in karting because the driver’s hands remain exposed to high-speed air throughout the session. Ripstop construction also helps limit the spread of small tears, improving durability when the gloves are used regularly in demanding outdoor environments. Full Microfleece Lining A soft microfleece lining covers the interior of the glove to provide warmth and a more comfortable feel against the skin. This insulation helps maintain finger movement and steering control when low temperatures would otherwise make the hands stiff or numb. The lining is designed to provide useful warmth without the excessive thickness of a general-purpose winter glove. Silicone Palm Grip for Rain Conditions Strategically positioned silicone printing across the palm improves traction against the steering wheel in wet and slippery conditions. The grip pattern helps prevent the hands from shifting during braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections. Because the silicone is printed directly onto the palm, it provides additional traction without creating a bulky reinforcement layer that would significantly reduce steering sensitivity. Pre-Curved Fingers and Ergonomic Palm The fingers are shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved design reduces material bunching and minimizes the effort required to maintain a secure driving position. An ergonomically shaped palm further improves fit and allows the glove to move more consistently with the driver’s hand. Straight-Cut Gauntlet Cuff The extended gauntlet cuff provides additional coverage around the wrist and helps prevent rain or cold air from entering between the glove and suit sleeve. Its straight-cut shape creates a clean overlap with compatible karting apparel. The longer cuff is particularly useful during heavy rain, where water can otherwise travel down the sleeve and into a shorter glove. 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist An elasticated section wraps around 180 degrees of the wrist at the palm side, allowing the glove opening to stretch during entry and then contract around the wrist. This design helps the glove remain securely positioned while preserving the flexibility needed for unrestricted steering movement. Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Closure An adjustable hook-and-loop strap allows the cuff to be tightened around the wrist for a secure fit. The closure helps reduce movement inside the glove and limits the entry of wind and moisture. It also makes the glove easier to adjust over different kart-suit sleeve thicknesses. FIA 8877-2022 Karting Homologation The Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Gloves are certified to the FIA 8877-2022 karting homologation standard. This makes them suitable for competitions requiring current FIA-approved karting gloves. Drivers should confirm the specific equipment regulations of their championship, sanctioning organization, or event before competition. Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Glove Features Three-layer waterproof karting-glove construction Windproof and durable ripstop outer shell Internal waterproof membrane protects against rain and moisture Full soft microfleece lining provides warmth Silicone-printed palm improves wet-weather steering grip Pre-curved fingers reduce material bunching Ergonomic palm design supports precise hand movement Internal seams support weather protection Straight-cut extended gauntlet cuff 180-degree elasticated wrist allows easy entry Adjustable hook-and-loop cuff closure Silver printed detailing FIA 8877-2022 homologated Youth version available separately Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Glove Specifications Manufacturer: Alpinestars Model: Tempest V3 Waterproof Product Type: Wet-Weather Karting Gloves Outer Shell: Windproof Ripstop Material Waterproofing: Internal Waterproof Membrane Interior: Full Microfleece Lining Palm: Silicone-Printed Wet-Weather Grip Finger Construction: Pre-Curved Seams: Internal Cuff: Straight-Cut Gauntlet Wrist: 180-Degree Elasticated Construction Closure: Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Strap Homologation: FIA 8877-2022 Why Choose the Alpinestars Tempest V3? The Tempest V3 is designed for the conditions where ordinary kart gloves become cold, soaked, and difficult to control. Its waterproof membrane and windproof outer shell protect against the weather, while the fleece lining helps retain warmth during low-temperature sessions. Unlike a general-purpose winter glove, the Tempest V3 also includes a pre-curved racing fit and silicone steering-wheel grip. This makes it a strong choice for competitive racers who need weather protection without giving up essential kart control. Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof Karting Glove Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Are the Alpinestars Tempest V3 Gloves actually waterproof or only water resistant?Alpinestars describes the Tempest V3 as a waterproof glove. Its three-layer construction includes a dedicated waterproof membrane and internal seams for protection against rain and moisture. How warm are the Tempest V3 Gloves?They include a full microfleece lining and windproof outer shell, making them substantially warmer than a standard lightweight kart glove. Their primary purpose is cold and wet-weather racing rather than warm-weather use. Will the fleece lining make the gloves feel bulky?They will feel thicker than a dry-weather racing glove because of the waterproof membrane and insulation. However, the pre-curved fingers and ergonomic palm are designed to limit bunching and preserve steering control. Should I order the same size as my regular Alpinestars kart gloves?Begin with your normal Alpinestars kart-glove size, but consider the insulated construction when choosing. The gloves should fit securely without compressing the fingers, since an overly tight fit can reduce warmth and movement. Can the Tempest V3 be worn over a thin glove liner?A very thin liner may fit if sufficient room remains, but adding one can make the glove too tight and reduce dexterity. Select sizing based on the intended setup rather than assuming a liner will fit. Does the silicone grip work on a wet steering wheel?Yes. The strategically positioned silicone palm print is specifically intended to improve grip and control in wet-weather track conditions. Will water enter through the cuff?The extended gauntlet, elasticated wrist, and adjustable strap help limit water entry. For the best protection, position the glove cuff and kart-suit sleeve so rain cannot run directly inside the opening. Are the Tempest V3 Gloves suitable for snow or general winter use?They are designed specifically for wet-weather karting. Although they provide wind and water protection, they are not intended to replace heavily insulated snow or outdoor work gloves. Can these gloves be used during dry races?Yes, particularly in cold conditions. In warm or dry weather, a lighter and more breathable karting glove will usually be more comfortable. Are youth sizes the same product as the adult version?Alpinestars offers a separate youth model called the Tempest V3 Waterproof S. It uses the same core wet-weather construction but is sized specifically for younger drivers. Are these gloves approved for FIA karting competition?Yes. The Tempest V3 is certified to the FIA 8877-2022 homologation standard. Racers should still confirm their championship’s current equipment requirements. How should waterproof karting gloves be dried after a wet race?Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a ventilated location. Do not place them on a heater, use a clothes dryer, or expose them to direct high heat, as this may damage the membrane, lining, or grip printing. How should the Tempest V3 Gloves be cleaned?Hand wash them gently in cold water with mild detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid bleach and aggressive cleaning chemicals.

Alpinestars Tempest V2 Waterproof Karting Gloves The Alpinestars Tempest V2 Waterproof Karting Gloves are designed for racers facing rain, cold temperatures, standing water, and difficult track conditions. Their three-layer construction combines waterproof protection with a soft fleece lining to help keep the hands warm, dry, and responsive throughout the session. An advanced rubber-composite palm provides dependable traction against a wet steering wheel, while pre-curved fingers reduce material bunching around the joints. The extended gauntlet, adjustable cuff, and elasticated wrist create a secure fit that helps limit the entry of wind and water. Three-Layer Waterproof Construction The Tempest V2 uses a three-layer design developed specifically for wet-weather karting. Its protective construction helps prevent rain and track spray from reaching the hands while retaining enough flexibility for precise steering inputs. This makes the Tempest V2 substantially more suitable for rain racing than a conventional lightweight kart glove, which may quickly absorb water and lose insulation. Full Fleece Lining for Cold Conditions A full fleece lining provides warmth and a soft interior feel during cold or damp sessions. Maintaining hand temperature is important because cold fingers can become stiff, reducing grip strength and slowing steering corrections. The insulated construction is designed to offer useful warmth without turning the glove into a bulky general-purpose winter glove. Advanced Rubber-Composite Palm The palm uses an advanced rubber-composite material that provides reliable steering-wheel grip in difficult weather. Its textured surface helps prevent the hands from slipping when moisture reaches the wheel or glove. The palm construction also preserves the feedback needed to recognize steering load, front-tire grip, and changes in track conditions. Pre-Curved Finger Construction The fingers are shaped around the natural position of the hand while holding a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved design reduces material bunching and limits the effort required to maintain a secure driving position. Reducing resistance through the fingers can improve dexterity and comfort during long rain races, testing sessions, and repeated wet-weather heats. Straight-Cut Gauntlet Cuff An extended straight-cut gauntlet provides additional coverage around the wrist and creates a protective overlap with the karting-suit sleeve. The longer cuff helps reduce gaps where rain or cold airflow could enter. Correct cuff positioning is especially important in heavy rain, since water can travel along the sleeve and into a glove that is not properly overlapped. Adjustable Cuff Closure An adjustable closure allows the driver to tighten the gauntlet around the wrist or suit sleeve. This helps keep the glove securely positioned while improving protection against water and wind. The adjustable design also accommodates differences in suit-sleeve thickness and driver preference. 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist The palm side of the wrist incorporates 180-degree elasticated construction. This allows the opening to stretch during entry and then contract around the wrist once the glove is in place. The elastic section helps prevent the glove from moving independently of the hand during quick steering corrections. Wet-Weather Control Without Excessive Bulk Waterproof gloves must balance protection with steering sensitivity. The Tempest V2 is thicker than a dry-weather kart glove because of its layered construction and fleece insulation, but its ergonomic shape helps limit unnecessary bulk. The result is a specialized rain glove that provides significantly more weather protection while retaining the hand movement required for competitive karting.

It provides three-layer waterproof construction, fleece insulation, an advanced rubber-composite palm, and an adjustable extended cuff. The newer Tempest V3 uses updated styling and current-generation construction. Drivers entering events with mandatory glove homologation should verify the required standard and choose the version carrying the certification accepted by their series. When to Choose the Tempest V2 The Tempest V2 is best suited to rain races, cold testing days, winter karting, and unpredictable outdoor events. It is especially useful for drivers whose hands become cold or numb in conventional uninsulated gloves. For warm and dry racing, a thinner ventilated glove will normally provide better airflow and more direct steering feel. Alpinestars Tempest V2 Waterproof Karting Glove Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Is the Alpinestars Tempest V2 fully waterproof?Alpinestars describes the Tempest V2 as having a three-layer construction for waterproof performance. Correct cuff positioning is still important because water may enter through the opening if rain runs down the sleeve. Is the Tempest V2 currently FIA 8877-2022 approved?The current Alpinestars product information does not state FIA 8877-2022 homologation for the Tempest V2. Racers competing under mandatory equipment rules should verify acceptance with their series before ordering. Was the Tempest V2 CIK-FIA Level 2 homologated?Some older retailer listings describe it as CIK-FIA Level 2, but the current official product page does not display that certification. Check the physical homologation label on the glove and confirm it with the event organizer before relying on it for competition eligibility. How does the Tempest V2 palm differ from the Tempest V3?The Tempest V2 uses an advanced rubber-composite palm. The newer Tempest V3 is described with a silicone-printed palm, giving the two generations different grip constructions. Will the fleece lining make the gloves feel tighter?Yes. The lining and waterproof layers take up more interior space than a dry-weather glove. The fit should remain secure without compressing the fingers or limiting circulation. Should I order one size larger than my normal kart gloves?Not automatically. Begin with the Alpinestars size chart and account for the insulated construction. Move up only when the measured size or hand shape indicates that the regular size would be restrictive. Can I wear a liner glove underneath the Tempest V2?Only when enough room remains for unrestricted movement. A liner can make the glove too tight, which may reduce circulation, warmth, and steering sensitivity. Are the Tempest V2 Gloves good for temperatures below freezing?They provide more insulation than standard kart gloves, but they are not heavily insulated snow gloves. Comfort below freezing depends on session length, wind, moisture, and the driver’s sensitivity to cold. How should the cuff overlap the karting suit?Arrange the cuff and suit sleeve so water cannot run directly into the glove opening. The best orientation can depend on the suit sleeve and the direction in which water travels across the arm. Can these gloves be used during a dry but cold race?Yes. Their fleece lining and wind protection can be useful in cold, dry conditions. In warmer weather, they may feel too insulated compared with a lightweight kart glove. Are they suitable for rental karting or sim racing?They can be used for either, but their waterproof membrane and fleece lining are unnecessary in a climate-controlled environment. A lighter glove will usually be cooler and provide a more direct feel. How should wet Tempest V2 Gloves be dried?Allow them to air dry naturally in a ventilated area. Do not place them on a radiator, use a heated dryer, or expose them to direct high heat, which may damage the membrane, lining, or palm material. Can the Tempest V2 be machine washed?Gentle hand cleaning with cool water and mild detergent is the safer option. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, harsh chemicals, machine drying, and aggressive scrubbing of the palm. How should waterproof karting gloves be stored?Make sure they are completely dry before storage. Keep them in a cool, ventilated location rather than sealing damp gloves inside a gear bag.

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.
