Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v3 Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v3 Karting Gloves are premium performance gloves engineered for racers who prioritize lightweight steering feel, precise grip, and long-session comfort. Their dual-layer stretch construction follows the movement of the hand while minimizing unnecessary bulk between the driver and steering wheel.
A synthetic suede palm combines with strategically positioned silicone printing to deliver dependable traction and detailed steering feedback. External finger seams, pre-curved construction, ventilated sidewalls, and a 180-degree elasticated wrist create a close competition fit designed for demanding kart races, qualifying sessions, and extended practice days.
Premium Lightweight Karting Performance
The Tech-1 KX v3 uses technical construction methods intended to reduce weight without sacrificing durability or support. Its streamlined chassis allows the driver to feel steering loads and front-tire behavior without the disconnected sensation created by heavily padded gloves.
This lightweight approach is particularly useful for racers who prefer a direct connection with the wheel and make frequent, precise steering corrections throughout a session.
Dual-Layer Stretch Nylon-Cotton Construction
The main glove assembly combines stretch nylon and cotton in a flexible two-layer structure. The material conforms closely to the hand while allowing the knuckles and fingers to move naturally through repeated steering inputs.
A close fit also helps prevent loose fabric from shifting, folding, or bunching between the palm and steering wheel.
Synthetic Suede Palm
The synthetic suede palm provides a durable and consistent contact surface for the steering wheel. It balances abrasion resistance with the sensitivity required to recognize changes in steering weight, tire grip, and chassis response.
A camo-style palm treatment gives the glove a distinctive appearance while maintaining the low-profile construction expected from a high-level karting glove.
Strategically Positioned Silicone Grip
Silicone printing is applied across the palm and fingers to improve steering-wheel traction. The ergonomic pattern is positioned to support the areas of the hand that experience the greatest contact and load while driving.
The flexible print helps reduce unwanted hand movement without creating a thick or rigid layer that would interfere with steering feel.
External Seams for Reduced Pressure
External finger seams move the stitching away from sensitive areas inside the glove. This creates a smoother interior and helps prevent rubbing, pressure points, and irritation during long races.
Drivers who find conventional internally stitched gloves uncomfortable may especially appreciate the reduced seam bulk around the fingertips and finger joints.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved profile minimizes material bunching and reduces the effort required to keep the hand closed.
By allowing the hand to rest in a more natural driving position, the glove can help reduce fatigue during endurance races, repeated heats, and long testing sessions.
Breathable Finger Sidewalls
Mesh material along the finger sidewalls promotes airflow through areas where heat and perspiration commonly accumulate. Improved ventilation helps maintain comfort and keeps the glove from becoming excessively damp during warm-weather competition.
The breathable panels are integrated without compromising the close fit or flexibility of the fingers.
Touchscreen-Compatible Thumb and Index Finger
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows the driver to operate many smartphones, tablets, timing devices, and data displays without removing the gloves.
This is useful between sessions when reviewing lap times, checking schedules, recording setup changes, or communicating with the team.
180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
The cuff incorporates an elasticated wrist section extending through 180 degrees for easier entry and secure retention. The opening stretches while the glove is being put on and then contracts around the wrist once positioned.
This construction eliminates the bulk of a large external strap while helping prevent the glove from shifting during aggressive steering movements.

Tech-1 KX v3 Versus Tech-1 K v3
The Tech-1 KX v3 is positioned as the more premium and technically focused option. It emphasizes weight reduction, external-seam comfort, ventilated finger sidewalls, a synthetic suede palm, and a more advanced silicone grip layout.
The Tech-1 K v3 provides strong competition performance at a lower tier, while the KX model is better suited to drivers seeking a more refined fit, lighter feel, and greater attention to steering sensitivity.
Who Should Choose the Tech-1 KX v3?
The Tech-1 KX v3 is a strong choice for experienced club racers, national-level competitors, endurance drivers, and anyone who finds internal finger seams uncomfortable. Its lightweight construction also suits drivers who prefer direct steering feedback rather than thick palm cushioning.
Because this is an earlier-generation model, racers competing under mandatory equipment rules should inspect the glove’s physical homologation label and confirm that it meets the current requirements of their championship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tech-1 KX v3 still the current Alpinestars KX glove?No. It is an earlier-generation model that has been succeeded by the Tech-1 KX v4. The v3 can still be an excellent choice when available in the correct size and color.
Does the Tech-1 KX v3 have FIA 8877-2022 approval?Do not assume that it does based only on the model name. Check the homologation label sewn into the specific gloves and verify the accepted standard with your race series before purchasing them for regulated competition.
What makes the KX v3 more premium than the Tech-1 K v3?The KX v3 uses more technical lightweight construction, ventilated finger sidewalls, a synthetic suede palm, external seams, and a refined silicone grip pattern intended to improve comfort and steering sensitivity.
Is the palm heavily padded?No. The glove emphasizes direct steering feedback and low weight rather than substantial vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting more cushioning may prefer a thicker kart glove.
Does the silicone cover the entire palm?The silicone is strategically printed across the palm and fingers rather than forming one solid rubber layer. This provides grip while allowing the glove to remain flexible.
Will the synthetic suede palm stretch with use?The glove may settle slightly as it conforms to the hand, but it should not be purchased excessively tight. The fingers and palm should move freely from the first use.
Why are the finger seams on the outside?External seams keep bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers, reducing pressure and irritation during long sessions.
Are these cooler than the standard Tech-1 K v3?The mesh finger sidewalls are specifically intended to improve airflow and reduce perspiration buildup. Actual comfort will still depend on temperature, session duration, and individual heat sensitivity.
Do both touchscreen fingertips work with every device?The thumb and index finger include touch-compatible printing, but performance can vary with the device, screen protector, moisture, and fingertip contact angle.
How should these gloves fit at the fingertips?The fingertips should be fully filled without painful pressure. Empty space at the ends can reduce steering sensitivity, while a glove that is too short may restrict movement and stress the seams.
Are the Tech-1 KX v3 Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Yes. Their external seams, pre-curved fingers, breathable sidewalls, and lightweight construction are well suited to extended driving sessions.
Can these gloves be used for sim racing?Yes. The silicone grip and lightweight construction can provide excellent control for sim racing, although the gloves were developed primarily for kart competition.
How should the synthetic suede palm be cleaned?Gently hand wash the gloves in cool water with mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, bleach, machine washing, and direct heat, which can damage the palm and silicone printing.
How should the gloves be stored between events?Allow them to air dry completely before placing them in a gear bag. Store them flat or loosely shaped in a cool, dry area away from heat and direct sunlight.

Sparco Eagle LT Driver Race Suit | FIA 8856-2000
$925.00
$1,422.00
Sparco Eagle LT Driver Race Suit (Limited Edition)
The Sparco Eagle LT is a limited-edition race suit available only for the US market. The Sparco Eagle LT race suit features an all-new design boasting two terrific colorways. Because this is a limited edition suit, it is only available while supplies last.
Single-Layer Comfort, Multi-Layer Protection
The Sparco Eagle LT race suit is the result of more than three years of Sparco research and development. Among other innovations, Sparco patented a new race suit material technology called HOCOTEX®, which revolutionizes the way racing fire suits are made. This exclusive Sparco technology creates a single-layer fabric that exhibits heat and fire protection previously achievable only using multi-layer suit construction. As a result, the Sparco Eagle LT race suit is a single-layer racing fire suit that is FIA 8856-2000 certified.
Breathability And Flexibility
Thanks to HOCOTEX®, the Sparco Eagle LT race suit is three times more breathable than a race suit offering similar fire protection, but produced using traditional technology. The use of this single-layer fabric, along with large side and rear stretch panels and 360º arm gussets, gives the Sparco Eagle LT amazingly easy flexibility and range-of-motion.
The flexible panels in the Eagle LT use another new Sparco material called Eagle fabric. This elasticized mesh is lighter, more breathable, and more abrasion resistant than traditional stretch material. Again, all while maintaining exceptional heat- and fire-resistance.
How Does HOCOTEX® Work, Exactly?
Traditional racing suits have two or three layers of fabric sewn together with a quilted pattern embroidered into them. The quilting creates air pockets between the layers which expand when heated. This is how traditional racing fire suits provide thermal protection to the wearer.
HOCOTEX®, on the other hand, consists of a honeycomb structure with 60,000 internal air microcells that insulate the wearer from fire and heat to an even greater degree than traditional box quilting. The result is the Sparco Eagle LT provides a 10% to 12% increase in heat-protection performance.

The Stilo Naked Helmet With Zero Compromises
The Stilo Helmets ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet is built for professional racers who demand elite protection, extremely low weight, and a clean Formula Naked shell design. Engineered to meet the strict FIA 8860-2018 standard, this helmet is designed for top-level motorsport applications where safety, visibility, and weight reduction all matter.
The ZERO version sits at the top of Stilo’s lightweight ST5 lineup, using an advanced carbon fiber construction to reduce driver fatigue while maintaining the protection expected from an FIA 8860-certified racing helmet. For drivers looking for a serious competition helmet without unnecessary bulk, the ST5 FN ZERO delivers exactly that.
Ultra-Light Carbon Construction for Serious Racers
The Stilo ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 is designed to be one of the lightest carbon fiber racing helmets in the ST5 range.

Stilo’s integrated mounting and routing design helps keep add-on systems tidy and low-profile. When those accessories are not installed, the helmet retains a smooth, uncluttered shape with nothing protruding or hanging into the cockpit.
Increased Visibility Is Increased Safety
The Stilo ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 features a taller, lower-positioned eyeport designed to improve outward visibility without compromising protection. That expanded field of view is especially valuable in fast-paced race environments where better sightlines can help the driver stay more aware of traffic, apexes, and track conditions.
Each ST5 visor uses a center pinch-clip design that makes opening and closing the shield easier, even while wearing Nomex racing gloves.

The Stilo Naked Helmet With Zero Compromises
The Stilo Helmets ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet is built for professional racers who demand elite protection, extremely low weight, and a clean Formula Naked shell design. Engineered to meet the strict FIA 8860-2018 standard, this helmet is designed for top-level motorsport applications where safety, visibility, and weight reduction all matter.
The ZERO version sits at the top of Stilo’s lightweight ST5 lineup, using an advanced carbon fiber construction to reduce driver fatigue while maintaining the protection expected from an FIA 8860-certified racing helmet. For drivers looking for a serious competition helmet without unnecessary bulk, the ST5 FN ZERO delivers exactly that.
Ultra-Light Carbon Construction for Serious Racers
The Stilo ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 is designed to be one of the lightest carbon fiber racing helmets in the ST5 range. The FN, or Formula Naked, layout removes the integrated side ports found on the Stilo ST5 GT ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet, giving it a cleaner, more streamlined shell while still allowing compatibility with select electronics, top forced air, and helmet eject system setups.
Stilo’s integrated mounting and routing design helps keep add-on systems tidy and low-profile. When those accessories are not installed, the helmet retains a smooth, uncluttered shape with nothing protruding or hanging into the cockpit.
Increased Visibility Is Increased Safety
The Stilo ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 features a taller, lower-positioned eyeport designed to improve outward visibility without compromising protection. That expanded field of view is especially valuable in fast-paced race environments where better sightlines can help the driver stay more aware of traffic, apexes, and track conditions.
Each ST5 visor uses a center pinch-clip design that makes opening and closing the shield easier, even while wearing Nomex racing gloves.

Stilo Helmets ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP
FIA 8860 Certification valid thru 2033 for these ST5 FN 8860 ABP Helmets
The Stilo Helmets ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP carbon fiber helmet was designed for professional racers needing to satisfy the latest FIA 8860-2018 ABP regulation. It's also the helmet of choice for drivers who refuse to compromise on safety, no matter where they're racing. The ABP certification provides an unparalleled level of puncture protection and impact resistance.
ABP is an acronym for "Advanced Ballistic Protection". The ABP replaces the zylon panel required by FIA in the previous generation (FIA 8860-2010) helmets, integrating stronger protection into the front of the helmet shell. A brand new testing procedure was introduced to evaluate this area, based on military ballistic specifications with a projectile shot at 250 km/h. The Stilo ST5 FN ABP was the first helmet to be certified to this new standard, offering a higher safety degree while maintaining dimensions and weight.
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP is among the lightest carbon fiber racing helmets on the market. While it lacks the side ports of the Stilo ST5 GT 8860-2018 Carbon Fiber Helmet, it can still be outfitted with electronics, top forced air, and a helmet eject system. Thanks to an innovative design incorporating mounting and routing for these options, integration is sleek and seamless with nothing protruding, hanging down, or otherwise getting in the way. When not in use, you don't even know they're there.
Looking for increased visibility? The Stilo Helmets ST5 FN ZERO 8860-2018 has a taller and lower-placed eyeport, giving you better visibility while not compromising your safety. Every Stilo visor has a center pinch-clip to make opening and closing easy, even while wearing nomex racing gloves.

Measuring Your Head
The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally then around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

Alpinestars Hypertech v2 Driver Racing Suit
The Alpinestars Hypertech v2 Driver Racing Suit is a top-of-the-line professional racing suit engineered for drivers who demand exceptional protection, minimal weight, and unrestricted movement inside the cockpit. Its athletic fit and advanced two-layer construction deliver premium comfort while meeting the demanding FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard.
Weighing only 265 g/m², the Hypertech v2 combines an anti-static aramidic Nomex outer shell with an innovative aramidic knit lining. This lightweight material system provides excellent heat and flame resistance while maintaining the breathability needed for demanding sprint races, endurance events, and professional competition.
Formula 1-derived stretch panels are strategically positioned at the elbows, lower back, sides, crotch, and knees. These lightweight panels improve flexibility, reduce material resistance, and allow the suit to follow the driver’s movements when entering the car, operating the controls, and remaining seated for extended periods.
Super-Lightweight Two-Layer Construction
The Hypertech v2 uses a lightweight two-layer design developed to reduce unnecessary bulk without compromising FIA-certified protection. Its 265 g/m² construction provides a soft, premium feel while helping regulate body temperature during demanding racing conditions.

Athletic Performance Fit
The Hypertech v2 features a contoured athletic fit designed for professional-level performance. Its pre-shaped construction follows the driver’s body closely while the stretch panels provide the flexibility needed for unrestricted cockpit movement.
