Alpinestars Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves | FIA $242.00

Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves The Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves are purpose-built for professional motorsport mechanics who need fire-resistant protection, impact absorption, dependable grip, and fast on-and-off performance in the pit lane. Designed and developed through competition in the World Endurance Championship, the Tech-M combines a lightweight bonded aramid-fiber construction with strategically positioned protective foam, abrasion-resistant reinforcement, and textured leather palm inserts. The pre-curved design helps reduce material bunching while operating wheel guns, handling wheels, and completing other demanding pit-stop tasks. An open cuff with a 180-degree elasticated wrist provides a secure fit while allowing mechanics to quickly put on or remove the gloves. Developed for Professional Pit-Crew Use The Tech-M was designed specifically around the needs of motorsport pit crews. Its construction supports the rapid hand movements, tool control, grip, and protection required during high-pressure pit stops. The reduced-material design helps preserve dexterity and tactile feedback while maintaining protection in areas exposed to impact, abrasion, vibration, and heat. Flame-Resistant Aramid Construction The main glove body is made from bonded flame-resistant aramid fiber. This lightweight construction provides a balance of protection, comfort, flexibility, and durability for professional motorsport environments. The flame-resistant materials help provide the coverage required for pit-lane personnel working around fuel, hot components, brakes, wheels, and other competition hazards. Impact-Absorbing Knuckle and Finger Protection Silicon FR-coated protective patches incorporate foam reinforcement across the knuckles and fingers. These strategically positioned areas help absorb impact during wheel changes, equipment handling, and other pit activities. The protective construction is designed to provide additional coverage without creating unnecessary bulk or significantly restricting hand movement. Reinforced Thumb and Index-Finger Area A Silicon FR-reinforced aramid patch is positioned between the thumb and index finger. This high-contact area experiences substantial wear when gripping wheel guns, handles, tools, and other pit equipment. The reinforcement improves abrasion resistance while helping the glove maintain its shape and performance through repeated use. Textured Goat Nappa Leather Palm Inserts Strategically positioned 1 mm Textured Goat Nappa leather inserts provide grip, abrasion resistance, and shock absorption across key palm contact areas. The leather reinforcement helps mechanics maintain control of wheel guns, wheels, tools, and equipment while reducing vibration and impact transmitted through the hands. Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm The fingers and palm are pre-curved to follow the natural gripping position of the hand. This construction reduces excess material and bunching when holding a wheel gun or other pit equipment. The ergonomic shape helps improve dexterity, comfort, and control during fast, repetitive pit-stop procedures. Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist The wide cuff opening allows mechanics to quickly put on the gloves when preparing for a pit stop. A 180-degree elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky closure system. An integrated silicone pull tab assists with removal, helping pit crew members transition quickly between tasks. Durable Embroidered Graphics Fully embroidered Alpinestars graphics provide a professional appearance and improved durability compared with basic surface printing. The branding is designed to withstand repeated professional use and frequent handling. FIA Homologated Pit-Crew Protection The Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves comply with the FIA 8856-2000 homologation standard. This makes them suitable for many professional motorsport applications requiring approved protective equipment for pit-lane personnel. Teams and crew members should confirm the required certification with their racing organization, series, or sanctioning body before competition.

Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 black and orange Nomex racing glove facing right on a white background

Alpinestars Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves | FIA Approved $114.00 $228.00

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.

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. Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Glove Features FIA 8856-2018 homologated for motorsport competition Flame-resistant aramidic fiber main construction Bonded aramidic lining for temperature control and comfort Internal thumb seam for improved control sensitivity External finger seams to reduce pressure points Ergonomic chassis with pre-curved fingers Strategically positioned silicone grip on the palm and fingers Latex-treated inner palm to help reduce micro-slipping Outer grip zones for precise cockpit control Touchscreen-compatible thumb and index fingertips Open-cuff design with a 180-degree elasticated wrist Extended cuff length for increased fire and heat protection Lightweight printed graphics 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. FIA 8856-2018 Protection The Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard. The extended cuff provides increased wrist and forearm coverage to help protect against fire and heat when worn with an approved racing suit. Touchscreen Compatibility Touch-sensitive material on the thumb and index fingertips allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen devices, including mobile timing applications and data acquisition equipment, without removing their gloves.

Sparco S.p.A. Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes | SFI 3.3/5 $241.00

Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes The Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes are purpose-built for pit crews, mechanics, track workers, and racers who need durable footwear with greater cushioning and protection than a traditional thin-soled racing shoe. Their supportive high-top construction, reinforced wear areas, and high-grip rubber outsole make them well suited for fast-paced pit-lane work, off-road racing, and other demanding motorsports environments. The upper combines soft suede with durable leather reinforcement panels around the toe box and heel. Perforated sections in the tongue and heel promote airflow, while the padded collar and anatomical insole provide the support needed for long days in the garage, paddock, or pit lane. An internal lacing system helps keep the laces contained and protected from snagging on tools, vehicle components, or equipment. A wide adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap adds stability and helps maintain a secure fit during quick movements and physically demanding work. Designed for Pit Crew and Over-the-Wall Use The Sparco Pit Stop was specifically developed for motorsports crew members who need secure footing, ankle support, and added protection while working around race vehicles. Its durable construction is suitable for tire changes, fueling support, mechanical work, vehicle recovery, and other trackside responsibilities. Durable Suede Upper The upper is constructed from suede for a comfortable balance of flexibility, support, and abrasion resistance. The material allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot while maintaining the durability needed for regular motorsports use. Reinforced Leather Toe and Heel Panels Leather panels reinforce the toe box and heel, two areas that commonly experience wear during kneeling, walking, climbing, and working around vehicles. The reinforced construction improves durability and provides additional protection against contact with tools and equipment. Protective Toe-Cap Design The rubber sole extends upward around the front of the shoe to create a protective toe cap. This raised section helps shield the toe area when kneeling beside the vehicle or working close to wheels, jacks, bodywork, and other pit equipment. Breathable Perforated Construction Perforations in the tongue and heel encourage airflow around the foot. This targeted ventilation helps reduce heat buildup during long track days, warm-weather events, and extended periods of physical activity. Internal Lacing System The internal laces provide an adjustable fit while keeping most of the closure system protected beneath the upper. Containing the laces helps reduce the chance of snagging while moving quickly or working in confined areas around the race car. Padded Collar and Adjustable Ankle Strap Extra padding around the collar supports the ankle and improves comfort. A wide hook-and-loop strap allows the upper fit to be adjusted and helps stabilize the foot during quick movements, lifting, kneeling, and mechanical work. Pre-Shaped Anatomical Insole A pre-shaped cushioned insole supports the natural contours of the foot and helps distribute pressure more evenly. The added cushioning reduces fatigue during long periods of standing, walking, or working throughout the paddock. High-Grip Rubber Outsole The thicker rubber outsole is designed to provide dependable traction on pit-lane, garage, paddock, and off-road surfaces. Its durable construction offers more cushioning and walking support than the ultra-thin soles typically used on conventional driver racing shoes. Anti-Static and Fluid-Resistant Sole The outsole features anti-static properties and is resistant to fuel and oil. These characteristics make the Pit Stop Crew Shoes suitable for professional motorsports environments where contact with automotive fluids and equipment is common.

It also helps keep the shoe securely positioned during running, kneeling, lifting, and rapid pit-lane movements. Do the Sparco Pit Stop Shoes provide toe protection? Yes. Leather reinforcement protects the toe box, while the rubber outsole wraps upward to create a protective toe cap for added coverage when kneeling or working close to the vehicle.
