Sparco CRW Gloves | Cold & Wet Weather Racing Gloves
$80.00
Sparco CRW Racing Gloves
The Sparco CRW Racing Gloves are purpose-built for drivers competing in cold, damp, and challenging weather conditions. Their thermal neoprene construction helps retain warmth while maintaining the flexibility and steering-wheel feel needed for precise vehicle control.
Thermally sealed seams help reduce moisture penetration, while the coated high-grip palm provides dependable traction when rain, spray, and low temperatures make the cockpit more difficult to manage. A flexible nylon and spandex outer layer supports natural hand movement without adding unnecessary bulk.
Cold-Weather Protection for Motorsport
Low temperatures can reduce hand dexterity, steering sensitivity, and driver comfort. The Sparco CRW Gloves provide added insulation for wet karting sessions, rally stages, autocross events, and other motorsport activities held in cold or unpredictable weather.
The close-fitting construction helps preserve control of the steering wheel, paddle shifters, switches, and other cockpit components while providing more warmth than a traditional lightweight driving glove.
Thermal Neoprene Construction
Flexible neoprene forms the primary thermal layer of the Sparco CRW. The material helps retain body heat while conforming closely to the hand, allowing the driver to maintain a secure and natural grip.
Unlike bulky winter gloves, the CRW is designed specifically for driving. Its streamlined shape limits excess material around the fingers and palm, helping preserve steering feedback and cockpit dexterity.
Thermally Sealed Seams
Thermally sealed seams help limit the entry of water and cold air through the glove construction. This provides improved comfort during light rain, track spray, damp paddock conditions, and low-temperature competition.
The sealed design also helps retain warmth inside the glove, allowing the driver to remain focused when weather conditions begin to deteriorate.
High-Grip Coated Palm
A coated high-grip palm creates a secure connection between the driver and steering wheel. The grip surface is especially beneficial when the cockpit, wheel, or gloves become damp during wet-weather driving.
The low-profile coating adds traction without creating excessive thickness, helping the driver retain steering sensitivity while reducing the need to squeeze the wheel tightly.
Flexible Nylon and Spandex Outer Layer
The exterior coating is constructed from 80% nylon and 20% spandex. This combination provides durability, stretch, and flexibility while allowing the glove to move naturally with the hand.
The stretch outer layer supports repeated steering inputs and finger movement without compromising the thermal benefits of the neoprene construction.
Elasticized Wrist
An elasticized wrist provides a close, secure fit and helps reduce the entry of cold air. The streamlined closure also makes the gloves easy to put on and remove without requiring a bulky external adjustment strap.
The extended wrist area provides additional coverage and can overlap with compatible outerwear or driving apparel for improved protection from the elements.
Water-Resistant Construction
The Sparco CRW Gloves are designed to resist moisture during damp and wet-weather use. Their neoprene materials and sealed seams help keep the hands warmer and more comfortable when exposed to rain or track spray.
These gloves should be considered water resistant rather than completely waterproof, particularly during prolonged exposure or full immersion.
Sparco CRW Racing Glove Features
Thermal neoprene construction for cold-weather driving
Thermally sealed seams help reduce moisture penetration
Coated high-grip palm improves steering-wheel control
Ergonomic shape supports natural hand movement
Flexible construction helps preserve steering feedback

Why Choose the Sparco CRW Gloves?
The Sparco CRW is designed for weather conditions where a conventional lightweight driving glove may not provide enough warmth or moisture protection. Its thermal neoprene construction, sealed seams, elasticized wrist, and coated palm work together to provide a practical balance of insulation, flexibility, and grip.
For cold karting events, wet rally stages, early-season autocross competition, and rainy track days, the CRW helps drivers maintain comfort and confidence without sacrificing essential steering control.

Sparco Arrow Infinity Kart Gloves
$144.00
Sparco Arrow K Karting Gloves
The Sparco Arrow K Karting Gloves are premium performance gloves developed for drivers who want a close connection with the steering wheel. Their lightweight PA jersey construction, anatomically shaped palm, and high-grip silicone treatment combine precise steering feedback with the flexibility needed for demanding kart competition.
Pre-curved fingers follow the natural shape of the hand around the wheel, while external seams reduce pressure against the fingers during long sessions. Touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger adds practical functionality between races without compromising the glove’s streamlined fit.
Direct Steering Feel for Competitive Karting
Kart steering systems transmit significant chassis movement and tire feedback directly through the wheel. The Arrow K is designed to preserve that information by using lightweight, flexible materials rather than thick padding or bulky reinforcement layers.
The close-fitting construction allows the glove to move naturally with the hand, helping the driver feel changes in steering load, front-tire grip, and track surface conditions.
Ultra-Grip Silicone Palm
A high-traction silicone treatment covers key areas of the palm to create a secure connection with the steering wheel. The tacky surface helps resist unwanted hand movement during hard braking, rapid direction changes, and high-load corners.
Improved traction also allows the driver to hold the wheel with less gripping force. Maintaining a more relaxed grip can reduce strain in the fingers and forearms during extended sessions.
Anatomically Shaped Seamless Palm
The palm is shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand and minimize excess material around the primary steering-wheel contact areas. Reducing folds and overlapping seams helps create a smoother, more consistent feel against the wheel.
This anatomical construction is especially useful for drivers who prioritize detailed steering feedback and find that heavily reinforced gloves feel disconnected or bulky.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are formed around the position the hand naturally assumes while gripping a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved shape reduces resistance when closing the hand and limits material bunching around the finger joints.
The ergonomic design can improve comfort during long races, testing sessions, and repeated heats by reducing the effort required to maintain a consistent driving position.
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 reduce rubbing, pressure points, and fingertip irritation.
Drivers who spend long periods behind the wheel may notice the greatest benefit because the seams are less likely to press against the fingers during repeated steering movement.
Lightweight PA Jersey Construction
The Arrow K uses flexible PA jersey fabric that stretches with the hand while maintaining a close performance fit. The lightweight material supports natural finger movement and helps prevent the glove from feeling stiff or restrictive.
Its streamlined construction also makes the Arrow K well suited to warm-weather karting and physically demanding race conditions where heavier gloves can become uncomfortable.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-sensitive material on the thumb and index finger allows the driver to operate many compatible smartphones, tablets, lap-timing devices, and data displays without removing the gloves.
This feature is useful between sessions when checking lap times, reviewing schedules, entering setup notes, or communicating with team members.
Close Performance Fit
The Arrow K is intended to fit closely around the palm and fingers. A proper fit prevents the glove from shifting independently of the hand and helps the silicone grip remain consistently positioned against the steering wheel.
The fingertips should be fully filled without painful pressure, curled fingers, or excess loose material. Drivers between sizes should compare their hand measurements with the Sparco chart rather than relying only on their casual glove size.

How the Arrow K Compares with the Sparco Tide K
The Arrow K emphasizes lightweight construction, direct steering feel, and a silicone-printed palm. The Sparco Tide K uses Sparco’s more heavily structured 3D HTX palm material, which is designed to add vibration absorption along with grip.
Drivers who prefer maximum sensitivity and a lighter glove may favor the Arrow K. Racers seeking more palm cushioning and vibration damping may prefer the Tide K.
Who Should Choose the Sparco Arrow K?
The Arrow K is a strong option for racers who want a premium glove with high steering sensitivity rather than thick palm padding. Its external seams and pre-curved construction are particularly valuable for drivers who experience finger pressure or fatigue in conventionally stitched gloves.
It is also well suited to drivers who regularly use timing devices or smartphones at the track and want touchscreen access without removing their gloves.
Sparco Arrow K Karting Glove Size Chart
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the correct model name Arrow K or Arrow Infinity?Sparco identifies the karting model as the Arrow K. Some retailers may use additional wording in their listings, but Arrow K is the official model designation.
Does the Arrow K use the same HTX palm as the Sparco Tide K?No. The Arrow K uses a high-grip silicone palm treatment. The Tide K uses Sparco’s raised 3D HTX material, which provides more vibration absorption and a different steering feel.
Is the Arrow K designed more for steering feel or palm cushioning?It is primarily designed for lightweight sensitivity and direct steering feedback. Drivers seeking substantial cushioning may prefer a glove with a thicker or vibration-damping palm.
Will the ultra-sticky silicone make it difficult to reposition my hands?The silicone provides strong traction, so the driver may need to lift the hand slightly rather than slide it across the wheel. Most kart racers consider this increased security beneficial during aggressive steering inputs.
Are the Arrow K Gloves suitable for long endurance races?Yes. The pre-curved shape and external seams help reduce fatigue and pressure points. However, racers who experience significant steering vibration may prefer a more heavily padded glove.
Why does the Arrow K use external seams?External seams keep bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers, creating a smoother fit and reducing pressure during long sessions.
Can the gloves operate a phone while using a screen protector?The thumb and index finger are touchscreen compatible, but responsiveness can vary depending on the device, screen protector thickness, and moisture on the glove or screen.
Do these gloves run tighter than casual gloves?They are intended to have a close competition fit. Measure around the widest part of the hand and compare the result with the Sparco size chart rather than selecting by casual glove size alone.
What should I do if my fingers fit but the palm feels tight?A slightly snug fit may relax with use, but the glove should not restrict circulation or hand movement. Drivers with wider palms may need to move up one size even when the finger length appears correct.
Are the Arrow K Gloves suitable for sim racing?Yes. Their lightweight materials, silicone grip, and external seams can work well for sim racing, though their construction and price are aimed primarily at kart competition.
Can these gloves be machine washed?Hand cleaning is safer for the fabric, seams, graphics, and silicone grip. Use cool water and mild soap, then allow the gloves to air dry away from direct heat.
How can I keep the silicone palm from wearing prematurely?Use the gloves primarily for driving and avoid handling rough bodywork, tools, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Allow them to dry completely before storing them.

Chillout Systems IceBox Cooler System

Chillout Systems IceBox Driver Cooling SystemÂ
Pre-Order Special: get a free six-foot cooling hose (a $170 value)!
The ETA on pre-order Chillout IceBox Systems is late August 2026.
The Chillout Systems IceBox Driver Cooler System is a battery-powered compact, ice-based driver cooling system designed for racing, endurance driving, track days, and high-heat motorsport environments. The IceBox is the first ice-based driver cooling system with a patent-pending Passive Temperature Control system, giving drivers the ability to adjust cooling output anywhere between 45°F and 65°F.
This controlled cooling range helps keep drivers comfortable longer, reduces unnecessary over-cooling, and can extend ice life up to 4x longer than other obsolete ice-based coolers.
A New Standard for Motorsport Driver Cooling
The Chillout Systems IceBox is disrupting the motorsport cooling category by solving the biggest issues found in the antiquated ice-based systems: cold shock, bulky cooler size, inconsistent cooling output, and ice life of under an hour. Instead of circulating ice-cold water with no real temperature control, the IceBox delivers smooth, adjustable cooling that keeps the driver sharp and comfortable for up to three hours during demanding sessions and enduros. All other ice-based driver cooling systems are now obsolete. Â
Compared to obsolete older style ice cooling systems, the IceBox offers a more refined driver-cooling experience at a price anyone can afford. Its Passive Temperature Control system helps prevent the numbing cold-water shock that can restrict blood flow, leading to discomfort and poor circulation, while Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel technology helps lock in the cold for longer cooling performance. Battery power eliminates the need for 12v wiring and switches keeping your cockpit clean and orderly. The compact size and soft-sided construction reduces the footprint needed and offers the lowest weight option on the planet to save you tenths during your next lap.
Built for Endurance Racing
In endurance racing, driver comfort, quick service, and equipment flexibility can mean the difference between a podium finish and a DNF. The Chillout Systems IceBox is compact enough for race car installation and can be managed, serviced, and swapped during long race weekends. Teams can choose the version that best fits their installation needs: with the aluminum tray/baseplate for secure mounting or without the tray for the lightest possible setup.
Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel Technology
At the core of the IceBox is Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel technology, also known as VIP insulation. This is the same award-winning insulation technology used in aerospace and medical applications. VIP insulation uses ultra-thin vacuum-sealed panels to dramatically reduce heat transfer, helping keep the ice and water colder for longer.
Panasonic VIP insulation delivers 13x better thermal insulation than traditional foam. Because the panels are ultra-thin, the IceBox preserves a full 17 liters of usable capacity without the bulk of conventional ice coolers.
Passive Temperature Control
If you have used traditional ice-based coolers before, the difference is immediate. Instead of numbing cold water that shocks the skin and restricts circulation, the IceBox delivers smooth, controlled cooling that can be adjusted to where the driver’s body performs best.
Two key technologies make this possible: Panasonic VIP insulation locks the cold in with 13x the thermal performance of foam, while patent-pending Passive Temperature Control lets the driver dial cooling output between 45°F and 65°F. Together, they help prevent unnecessary over-cooling, extend ice life, and deliver race-ready cooling performance in harsh cockpit conditions.
