Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves The Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves combine ultra-lightweight construction, exceptional steering-wheel grip, touchscreen compatibility, and certified fire-resistant protection. Designed for serious auto racing, the Arrow provides the comfort and dexterity drivers need for qualifying laps, sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions. A seamless anatomical palm follows the natural shape of the hand, while Sparco-exclusive HTX grip material is strategically printed across key contact areas for maximum steering feel. Touch-S technology on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen electronics without removing their gloves. Pre-curved fingers, external seams, and a unique internal thumb seam help reduce pressure points and hand fatigue. The Sparco Arrow is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards. Sparco HTX Palm Technology The palm features Sparco’s patented HTX material, a high-grip surface designed to increase traction, comfort, and dexterity. HTX is strategically positioned across the main steering-wheel contact areas to provide confident control without adding unnecessary bulk. The low-profile grip pattern helps preserve steering feedback while reducing the amount of gripping pressure required to maintain control. This can help minimize hand fatigue during long races and repeated track sessions. Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips Sparco Touch-S technology places patented fire-resistant touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible data-acquisition displays, phone-based lap timers, and mobile applications without removing their gloves. Touchscreen performance may vary depending on the device, screen protector, and operating conditions. Anatomically Shaped Seamless Palm The Sparco Arrow features an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. The seamless construction helps reduce excess material and uncomfortable pressure points while maintaining close contact with the steering wheel. This ergonomic design improves dexterity when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls. Pre-Curved Finger Construction The fingers are pre-curved to follow the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. This construction reduces resistance through the fingers and allows the driver to maintain a more relaxed grip. The pre-curved fit is especially valuable during endurance racing and other long driving sessions where reducing hand fatigue is important. External Seams for Improved Comfort External stitching moves bulky seams away from the inside of the fingers. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce pressure points while gripping the steering wheel. The external-seam construction also improves steering feel and comfort during extended competition use. Unique Internal Thumb Seam A specially positioned internal thumb seam helps improve comfort in one of the most heavily loaded areas of a racing glove. This construction provides a close, secure fit while reducing irritation around the thumb during prolonged steering-wheel contact. Ultra-Lightweight Racing Construction The Sparco Arrow is designed to provide certified protection without unnecessary weight or bulk. Its lightweight materials support natural hand movement and precise cockpit control while maintaining the coverage required for competition.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes are engineered for drivers who want durable protection, a secure anatomical fit, and precise feedback through the brake and throttle pedals. Developed specifically for the demands of kart racing, the Tech-1 K v2 combines a supportive nubuck microfiber upper with lightweight ventilation and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole. An improved anatomical profile creates a flatter forefoot and a more natural fit around the foot. This streamlined design reduces unnecessary bulk around closely spaced kart pedals while helping the driver maintain accurate control during braking, acceleration, and rapid pedal transitions. The dual asymmetric closure system combines aramidic speed lacing with a low-profile hook-and-loop strap. This arrangement distributes pressure more evenly across the foot and allows the fit to be adjusted for dependable support throughout practice, qualifying, and racing. Durable Nubuck Microfiber Upper The Tech-1 K v2 uses an advanced hybrid upper constructed from durable nubuck and microfiber materials. The supportive structure is designed to withstand repeated karting use while remaining lightweight and flexible. Strategically positioned perforated zones improve airflow through the shoe, helping reduce heat buildup during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends. Enhanced Anatomical Fit The revised anatomical design improves the shape of the forefoot and allows the shoe to sit more naturally around the driver’s foot. A flatter toe area helps reduce excess material and improves contact with closely positioned pedals. This close-fitting profile supports accurate pedal movement without creating unnecessary pressure around the toes or midfoot. Dual Asymmetric Closure System The asymmetric closure follows the natural shape of the foot rather than applying pressure directly down the center. Aramidic speed laces run through durable para-aramidic eyelets to provide a secure and personalized fit. An ultra-thin hook-and-loop ankle strap adds support while maintaining a low profile inside the kart. Ergonomic Heel Counter Alpinestars’ polypropylene foot counter supports the heel and helps maintain stability during aggressive braking. The ergonomic construction limits unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to move naturally. External Toe Reinforcement Reinforcement on both sides of the toe improves abrasion resistance and protection in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart. External Rear Heel Protection A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel helps resist abrasion and impact while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and walking through the paddock. Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole The Tech-1 K v2 features an ultra-thin outsole developed using Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide grip and sensitivity through the pedals. The rounded heel supports smooth movement between the brake and throttle, while the specialized tread provides dependable grip in both wet and dry conditions. Comfortable Low-Cut Collar The soft microfiber collar is cut lower around the rear of the ankle to reduce pressure against the Achilles area. This construction improves comfort and range of motion during repeated pedal operation. Nitrile Rubber Collar Padding Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides support around the ankle without adding excessive bulk. The material helps maintain comfort during long karting sessions while preserving the shoe’s streamlined profile. Perforated Padded Tongue The soft padded tongue uses perforations to improve ventilation and comfort across the top of the foot. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create an even, secure fit.
