Sparco Arrow+ Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Arrow+ Nomex Racing Gloves combine lightweight comfort, advanced grip technology, and updated fire-resistant protection for demanding motorsport competition. Developed as the next evolution of the popular Sparco Arrow glove, the Arrow+ meets the latest FIA 8856-2018 requirements while retaining the close fit, precise steering feel, and flexibility drivers expect from a premium racing glove.
A Sparco-exclusive HTX palm provides exceptional grip and dexterity, while pre-curved fingers and external seams reduce bunching and pressure points. Touch-S technology on the thumb and index finger also allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen devices without removing their gloves.
Updated FIA Fire and Heat Protection
The Sparco Arrow+ has been engineered to meet the updated FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, which requires increased heat and flame protection throughout the glove.
This enhanced protection has been achieved without sacrificing the lightweight construction, flexibility, and steering-wheel sensitivity that made the original Arrow glove a popular choice among professional and club-level drivers.
Sparco HTX Palm Technology
The palm and fingers feature Sparco's exclusive HTX grip material. This patented surface is strategically positioned to increase steering-wheel grip, comfort, and dexterity while maintaining precise feedback from the car.
HTX material helps reduce unwanted hand movement on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to maintain accurate control without applying excessive gripping pressure. The result is improved confidence during braking, cornering, shifting, and other critical maneuvers.
Padded Palm for Reduced Fatigue
Integrated padding across the palm helps absorb steering-wheel vibration and shock loads. This additional support can reduce hand fatigue during long stints, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
The padding is designed to provide extra comfort without creating unnecessary bulk or reducing steering-wheel sensitivity.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The Arrow+ uses pre-curved fingers that follow the natural shape of the hand while gripping the steering wheel. This design reduces excess material and bunching around the fingers, helping minimize pressure points.
The anatomically optimized shape improves dexterity and allows drivers to operate paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls with greater precision.
External Seams for Superior Comfort
Externally stitched finger seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior surface and provides a closer, more comfortable fit.
A unique internal thumb seam further improves comfort and steering-wheel feel, making the Arrow+ especially well suited for long races and extended driving sessions.
Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Sparco Touch-S technology places fire-resistant, touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible data-acquisition displays, mobile devices, and lap-timing applications without removing their gloves.
The touchscreen functionality adds convenience between sessions while maintaining the protective construction required for auto racing.
Ultra-Lightweight Construction
The Sparco Arrow+ is designed to provide high levels of protection without excessive weight or bulk. Its lightweight materials allow the hands and fingers to move naturally while maintaining a close connection with the steering wheel.
This balance of protection, comfort, and dexterity makes the Arrow+ suitable for both professional racers and drivers participating in club racing, track days, time trials, and other competitive motorsport events.
