from $185.00
$269.00
OMP ONE-S Racing Gloves
The OMP ONE-S Racing Gloves combine lightweight construction, direct steering feedback, and long-session comfort in a proven competition design. Updated graphics give the ONE-S a modern appearance, while external seams, pre-curved fingers, and ergonomically positioned silicone grip zones help the glove feel natural around the steering wheel.
A diagonal-cut gauntlet keeps excess material away from the wrist, and the strapless elastic closure allows quick entry without adding bulk. FIA 8856-2018 homologation provides current fire-resistant protection for competitive motorsport.
Pre-Curved for a Natural Driving Position
The ONE-S is shaped around the position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Its pre-curved construction reduces resistance when closing the fingers and helps prevent excess fabric from gathering across the palm.
This natural shape allows the driver to maintain a more relaxed grip, which can reduce hand fatigue during longer races and repeated track sessions.
External Seams for Improved Comfort
External stitching moves the primary finger seams away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior and reduces pressure points against the fingers while holding the wheel.
The external-seam construction also improves fingertip comfort without compromising the close fit needed for accurate use of shifters, switches, buttons, and cockpit controls.
Ergonomic Silicone Palm Grip
Thin fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to improve steering-wheel traction while preserving sensitivity. The updated grip layout follows the contact areas of the hand rather than covering the entire palm with unnecessary material.
Strategic placement helps reduce bunching and allows the glove to flex naturally as the driver changes grip or steering position.
Direct Feedback Without a Bulky Palm
The low-profile silicone print adds traction without creating a thick barrier between the hand and the steering wheel. This helps the driver feel steering effort, vibration, and changes in front-end grip more clearly.
The result is a secure connection that does not require excessive squeezing pressure to maintain control.
Diagonal-Cut Gauntlet
The ONE-S uses a distinctive diagonal-cut gauntlet designed to reduce interference around the wrist. The angled cuff follows the natural overlap between the glove and racing suit sleeve, helping maintain freedom of movement.
Its extended length provides the additional wrist coverage required by modern FIA standards while keeping the glove streamlined.
Strapless Elastic Wrist
An elastic wrist band keeps the glove securely positioned without using a hook-and-loop strap. The simple closure makes the ONE-S easy to put on and remove while eliminating a bulky adjustment point beneath the suit sleeve.
The close wrist fit also helps prevent the glove from shifting during rapid steering corrections and high-load cornering.
Latex-Treated Interior
The interior receives a latex treatment designed to improve resistance and help the glove remain stable against the hand. This treatment supports a more consistent fit and reduces unwanted internal movement during aggressive driving.

Why the Diagonal Cuff Matters
Most racing gloves use a straight cuff that can create additional material around the wrist. The ONE-S diagonal gauntlet removes material where it is not needed and provides coverage where the racing suit sleeve and glove overlap.
This small design detail improves wrist flexibility and helps the glove remain comfortable when the hands are positioned at different points around the wheel.

OMP Sport Nomex Gloves (New Style!) | FIA 8856-2018
$170.00
OMP Sport Gloves FIA 8856-2018
The OMP Sport Gloves provide modern FIA-certified protection, dependable steering-wheel grip, and lightweight comfort at an accessible price. Designed for drivers who need certified fire-resistant gloves without unnecessary bulk, the OMP Sport combines a silicone-printed palm, flexible construction, and an elastic wrist opening for a secure, straightforward fit.
Certified to FIA 8856-2018, these gloves are built for competitive motorsport while remaining comfortable enough for extended driving sessions. Multiple color options make it easy to coordinate the OMP Sport Gloves with your racing suit, shoes, helmet, or team colors.
Lightweight Fire-Resistant Racing Gloves
The OMP Sport is designed to provide essential protection without making the glove feel heavy or restrictive. Its lightweight fire-resistant construction allows natural finger movement and helps reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
The streamlined design also minimizes unnecessary material between the driver and the steering wheel, supporting clear feedback and precise control.
Silicone-Printed Palm Grip
A silicone grip pattern is printed directly onto the palm to improve traction against the steering wheel. The low-profile application provides a secure hold without adding the thickness of a separate reinforcement layer.
The printed silicone helps the driver maintain consistent control during braking, cornering, shifting, and repeated steering corrections while preserving sensitivity through the wheel.
Reliable Grip as Temperatures Rise
Steering wheels and cockpit surfaces can become warm during extended sessions. The silicone-printed palm helps maintain traction as temperatures increase, reducing the need to squeeze the wheel excessively.
A more relaxed grip can improve comfort and help the driver maintain smoother steering inputs over the course of a race or track session.
Elastic Wrist Entry
An elasticated wrist opening makes the OMP Sport Gloves easy to put on and remove while maintaining a snug fit once worn. The strapless design avoids bulky closures and allows clean overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve.
The elastic wrist also helps prevent the glove from shifting during aggressive steering inputs or rapid cockpit movements.
Comfort for Extended Driving Sessions

OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves | CIK-FIA Level 2
$170.00
OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves
The OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves combine vivid sublimated graphics with the steering feel, flexibility, and comfort required for competitive karting. Lightweight stretch materials allow the gloves to follow the movement of the hands, while silicone printing across the palms and fingers provides dependable traction on the steering wheel.
A pre-curved finger shape supports the natural driving position, and externally stitched seams reduce pressure against the fingers during long sessions. The KS-2 ART is an appealing choice for racers who want proven OMP karting performance with a more distinctive visual design.
CIK-FIA Level 2 Karting Homologation
The OMP KS-2 ART is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 2 karting standard. This certification has been widely accepted in club, regional, national, and international karting competition.
Some championships have introduced newer FIA 8877-2022 equipment requirements. Drivers should confirm the currently accepted homologation with their series, track, or sanctioning organization before purchasing these gloves for regulated competition.
Silicone Grip Across the Palm and Fingers
Silicone printing is positioned across the palm and fingers to improve traction against the steering wheel. The grip pattern helps keep the hands securely positioned during heavy steering loads, rapid direction changes, braking, and cornering.
Because the silicone is applied as a low-profile print, it improves grip without creating a thick layer between the driver and wheel. This preserves the steering feedback needed to recognize changes in front-tire grip and chassis balance.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are shaped around the position the hands naturally assume while holding a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved design reduces material bunching through the palm and finger joints.
Reducing resistance when closing the hand can help the driver maintain a secure grip with less effort, improving comfort during qualifying sessions, long races, and repeated track sessions.
External Seams for Long-Session Comfort
Externally stitched finger seams place the bulk of the stitching outside the glove rather than against the driver’s fingers. This creates a smoother internal surface and reduces the likelihood of pressure points or irritation.
The external-seam construction is especially beneficial for racers who find that conventional internally stitched gloves become uncomfortable during extended use.
Lightweight Stretch-Fabric Chassis
The elasticated upper material conforms closely to the hand while allowing natural finger and wrist movement. Its close fit helps prevent loose material from shifting during quick steering corrections.
The lightweight construction also preserves dexterity and keeps the glove from feeling unnecessarily bulky around the steering wheel.
Breathable Construction for Warm Conditions
Breathable fabric helps promote airflow and manage heat inside the glove during physically demanding sessions. This makes the KS-2 ART particularly useful for warm-weather karting and indoor tracks where cockpit temperatures can rise quickly.
The stretch material also helps moisture escape more effectively than a heavier, less flexible glove construction.
Sublimated ART Graphics
The ART version features graphics applied through a sublimation process that integrates the design into the fabric. Unlike a heavy surface graphic, the sublimated treatment does not add noticeable thickness or stiffness to the glove.
This process also helps the design resist cracking and peeling while delivering the bright colors and detailed patterns that distinguish the KS-2 ART from the standard KS-2.

How the KS-2 ART Differs from the Standard KS-2
The primary difference is the graphic treatment. The KS-2 ART uses detailed sublimated designs that give the glove a more distinctive appearance while retaining the lightweight construction, silicone grip, pre-curved shape, and external seams associated with the KS-2 platform.
Drivers choosing between the two models can generally base their decision on preferred styling, color availability, sizing availability, and price rather than expecting a dramatically different steering feel.
Who Should Choose the OMP KS-2 ART?
The KS-2 ART is well suited to racers who prioritize direct steering feedback and external-seam comfort but also want a glove with more expressive graphics. Its lightweight construction makes it particularly attractive for sprint racing and warm-weather competition.
Racers entering championships with newer equipment regulations should verify whether CIK-FIA Level 2 gloves remain accepted or whether FIA 8877-2022 homologation is required.
OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Glove Size Chart
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CIK-FIA Level 2 still accepted by my karting series?Acceptance varies by championship and event. Some organizations continue to allow CIK-FIA Level 2 gloves, while others may require equipment meeting the newer FIA 8877-2022 standard. Check the current technical regulations before ordering.
What is the difference between the KS-2 ART and regular KS-2?The ART version is distinguished primarily by its sublimated graphic designs. It retains the lightweight stretch construction, silicone grip, external seams, and pre-curved shape associated with the KS-2 platform.
Will the printed graphics crack or peel?The graphics are sublimated into the fabric rather than applied as a thick surface layer. This makes them less likely to crack or peel during normal use.
Does the silicone cover both the palm and fingers?Yes. Silicone printing extends across the palm and fingers to improve traction during steering and hand repositioning.
Are the KS-2 ART Gloves heavily padded?No. They emphasize lightweight construction and direct steering feedback rather than thick vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting substantial palm cushioning may prefer a model designed specifically for vibration absorption.
Are these gloves a good choice for hot-weather karting?Yes. Their lightweight stretch fabric and breathable construction help manage heat during warm outdoor events and indoor karting sessions.
Do external seams make the gloves fit wider?External seams reduce bulk inside the fingers, but the gloves are still intended to fit closely. Drivers with wider hands should use their hand measurement rather than automatically selecting their usual casual-glove size.
What should I do when my measurement falls between two sizes?A racer who prefers a very close competition fit may favor the smaller size, provided finger movement is not restricted. Drivers with broader hands or longer fingers may be more comfortable in the larger size.
Can younger drivers wear the KS-2 ART?That depends on the available size range. Compare the driver’s hand measurement with the OMP chart rather than selecting by age alone, since hand proportions vary considerably among youth racers.
How can I prevent the silicone grip from wearing prematurely?Avoid pulling the gloves across rough bodywork, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Use them primarily for driving and allow them to air dry fully after each session.
Can the OMP KS-2 ART be used for sim racing?Yes, but it is designed and priced as a competition karting glove. Its lightweight feel, external seams, and silicone palm can provide good sim-racing control, though homologation is unnecessary for that use.
How should the KS-2 ART Gloves fit at the fingertips?The fingertips should be filled without painful pressure or curled fingers. Excess empty material can reduce steering sensitivity and may allow the glove to shift during aggressive inputs.

OMP First Racing Gloves | FIA 8856-2018
from $170.00
OMP First Racing Gloves
The OMP First Racing Gloves combine lightweight construction, precise steering feedback, and premium comfort at an accessible price. Designed with features commonly found on higher-priced competition gloves, the OMP First uses external seams, a pre-curved hand shape, and low-profile silicone-rubber palm grip to improve control while reducing driver fatigue.
An elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without adding a bulky closure, while the straight-cut extended gauntlet provides clean overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. FIA 8856-2018 homologation makes the OMP First suitable for modern motorsport competition where current FIA-approved driver gloves are required.
Premium Racing-Glove Features at an Accessible Price
The OMP First is designed for drivers who want comfort and performance without stepping into the highest-priced glove category. Its construction focuses on the features that have the greatest effect behind the wheel: smooth internal comfort, secure steering-wheel grip, natural hand movement, and certified fire-resistant protection.
The result is a dependable racing glove that feels refined without becoming overly complicated or bulky.
External Seams for Maximum Comfort
The finger seams are positioned on the outside of the glove rather than against the driver’s skin. This creates a smoother internal surface and reduces pressure points when the fingers are wrapped around the steering wheel.
External stitching is often reserved for premium racing gloves because it can significantly improve comfort during long races, testing sessions, and repeated track use.
Pre-Curved Driving Fit
The OMP First is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers require less effort to close and help prevent excess material from bunching across the palm.
This design supports a more relaxed grip, helping reduce hand fatigue while maintaining precise control of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and gear levers.
Printed Silicone-Rubber Palm Grip
Fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to provide dependable steering-wheel traction with minimal added thickness. The low-profile grip pattern helps maintain sensitivity and allows the driver to feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in front-end grip.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it improves control without creating the bulk of a separate palm reinforcement layer.
Secure Grip with Minimal Material Bunching
The grip zones are positioned to support the primary contact areas between the hand and steering wheel. This placement improves traction while allowing the glove to flex naturally through braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections.
The combination of a pre-curved shape and thin printed grip helps the glove remain stable without restricting movement.
Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet
The straight-cut gauntlet gives the OMP First a clean, traditional appearance while providing additional wrist coverage. Its extended length helps maintain proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
The longer cuff is designed in accordance with current FIA homologation requirements for improved protection against heat and flame exposure.
Elasticated Wrist for Easy Entry
An elastic band around the wrist keeps the glove securely fitted without requiring a hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening makes the OMP First easy to put on and remove between sessions while helping prevent unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs.
The strapless design also eliminates a bulky adjustment point beneath the racing suit cuff.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The OMP First Racing Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. The fire-resistant construction and extended cuff provide current protection for the hands and wrists in demanding motorsport environments.

OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves | CIK-FIA Level 2
from $141.00
OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves
The OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves are performance-focused karting gloves designed to deliver secure steering-wheel grip, unrestricted hand movement, and lasting comfort. A silicone-rubber palm provides dependable traction, while external seams keep bulky stitching away from the fingers for a smoother interior feel.
Flexible bellows at the knuckles and fingers allow the glove to move naturally through rapid steering corrections and heavy steering loads. Breathable mesh inserts help manage heat, and the slanted wrist with an elastic band creates a secure fit without making the glove difficult to put on.
Silicone-Rubber Grip for Precise Steering Control
The KS-2R uses silicone rubber across the palm to improve traction against the kart steering wheel. This high-grip surface helps reduce unwanted hand movement during braking, cornering, and aggressive changes of direction.
Improved traction also allows the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively. A more relaxed grip can reduce strain in the hands and forearms during long races or repeated sessions.
External Seams Reduce Finger Pressure
The fingers use external stitching to move the seam bulk away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother contact surface around the fingers and reduces the pressure points that can develop with conventional internal seams.
External seams are particularly useful during extended karting sessions, where repeated steering movement can cause internal stitching to rub against the fingers.
Articulated Knuckle and Finger Bellows
Flexible bellows are positioned around the knuckles and fingers to improve freedom of movement. These stretch sections allow the glove to flex naturally as the driver grips, releases, and repositions the hands on the steering wheel.
The articulated construction reduces resistance through the finger joints, supporting quick steering inputs without making the glove feel stiff or restrictive.
Breathable Mesh Inserts
Mesh fabric inserts improve airflow and help reduce heat buildup inside the glove. This ventilation is valuable during warm outdoor races, indoor karting events, and physically demanding sessions where perspiration can affect comfort and grip.
The breathable sections are strategically positioned to improve cooling while maintaining the glove’s close performance fit.
Silicone Finger Protection
Additional silicone-rubber sections on the fingers provide targeted protection and durability in areas exposed to frequent steering-wheel contact. These sections also contribute to grip when the driver wraps the fingers firmly around the wheel.
The low-profile treatment adds useful reinforcement without the bulk of a heavy padded layer.
Slanted Wrist with Elastic Retention
The KS-2R uses a slanted wrist opening that follows the natural angle between the hand and forearm. This shape makes the glove easier to put on and creates a more ergonomic fit around the wrist.
An elastic band helps keep the glove securely positioned throughout the session without requiring a bulky external adjustment strap.
Long Gauntlet Coverage
The extended gauntlet provides additional wrist coverage and creates a clean overlap with compatible karting-suit sleeves. This design helps keep the glove securely positioned during repeated hand and wrist movement.
The longer cuff also gives the KS-2R a professional competition appearance while supporting a stable fit.
Durable Printed Graphics
OMP combines silkscreen and sublimation printing to create the KS-2R’s detailed graphics and wide range of color options. These processes allow the design to remain lightweight and flexible rather than adding thick decorative panels.
The available color combinations allow drivers to coordinate the gloves with their karting suit, helmet, shoes, kart graphics, or team colors.

How the KS-2R Compares with the OMP KS-3
The KS-2R is positioned above the entry-level KS-3 and places greater emphasis on external-seam comfort, articulated finger movement, silicone grip, and breathable mesh construction.
Drivers looking for a simpler, lower-cost kart glove may prefer the KS-3. Racers who want a more technical fit, improved mobility, and a more aggressive grip surface will generally favor the KS-2R.
Who Should Choose the OMP KS-2R?
The KS-2R is well suited to club racers, competitive kart drivers, endurance competitors, and drivers who prefer the smoother feel of externally stitched fingers. Its articulated construction also makes it a good option for racers who find conventional gloves restrictive around the knuckles.
Drivers who experience substantial steering vibration and want thick palm cushioning may prefer a dedicated vibration-damping glove. The KS-2R prioritizes grip, flexibility, and direct steering feedback rather than heavy padding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the OMP KS-2R currently FIA 8877-2022 approved?The current OMP product page does not list FIA 8877-2022 homologation for the KS-2R. Racers entering an event with mandatory glove certification should confirm acceptance with their championship or sanctioning organization before purchasing.
Is the KS-2R a fire-resistant auto-racing glove?No. It is designed specifically for karting and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved fire-resistant gloves in automobile competition requiring flame protection.
How does the KS-2R differ from the OMP KS-2 ART?The KS-2R uses articulated bellows around the knuckles and fingers, breathable mesh inserts, silicone finger protection, and a slanted wrist. The KS-2 ART focuses more heavily on lightweight stretch fabric and bold sublimated graphics.
Does the silicone palm feel extremely sticky?The silicone rubber is designed to provide strong traction against the steering wheel. Drivers may need to lift the hand slightly when repositioning rather than sliding it across the wheel.
Does the KS-2R have palm padding?The glove prioritizes direct steering feel and silicone grip rather than thick vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting significant cushioning may prefer a glove designed specifically to absorb steering vibration.
What do the bellows on the fingers and knuckles do?They provide flexible expansion at high-movement areas, allowing the fingers and knuckles to bend more naturally without pulling tightly against the glove material.
Will external seams catch on the steering wheel?External seams sit around the edges of the fingers and are intended to improve comfort without interfering with normal steering-wheel use. Proper sizing is important to prevent loose excess material.
Are the KS-2R Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Yes. External seams, flexible joints, breathable mesh, and the secure elastic wrist make them well suited to longer races and repeated driving stints.
Are child sizes available?OMP lists select child sizes in addition to adult sizes from XXS through XL. Availability may vary by color.
How should the KS-2R fit around the fingers?The fingers should fill the glove without painful pressure or excess space at the tips. Loose fingertips can reduce steering sensitivity, while an overly tight fit can restrict movement and circulation.
What should I do when my hand measurement falls between sizes?Drivers with wider palms or longer fingers will usually be more comfortable in the larger size. A close fit is desirable, but the glove should not force the fingers to curl or limit knuckle movement.
Can the KS-2R be used for sim racing?Yes. The silicone palm, breathable construction, and external seams can provide good wheel control and comfort for sim racing, although the glove is primarily designed for kart competition.
How should the gloves be cleaned?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid bleach, machine drying, radiators, and direct high heat.
How can I extend the life of the silicone grip?Use the gloves primarily for driving and avoid handling rough bodywork, tools, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Allow them to dry fully before storing them.

OMP First Evo Racing Gloves | FIA 8856-2018
$128.00
$198.00
OMP First Evo Racing Gloves
Â
The OMP First Evo Racing Gloves deliver premium comfort, responsive steering feel, and FIA-certified protection at an accessible price. Their lightweight construction combines external seams, a pre-curved hand shape, and low-profile silicone-rubber palm inserts to provide many of the features normally associated with higher-priced competition gloves.
An elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without adding a bulky closure, while the straight-cut extended gauntlet provides clean overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. FIA 8856-2018 homologation makes the OMP First Evo a dependable option for modern motorsport competition.
Premium Comfort Without the Premium Price
The OMP First Evo is designed for drivers who want advanced glove construction without moving into the highest price category. Its streamlined design focuses on the features that make the greatest difference behind the wheel: reduced pressure points, secure grip, natural hand movement, and lightweight fire-resistant protection.
This combination makes the First Evo a strong choice for drivers who value both performance and overall value.
External Seams Reduce Pressure Points
The primary finger seams are positioned on the outside of the glove rather than against the driver’s skin. This creates a smoother interior and reduces pressure along the fingers while gripping the steering wheel.
External stitching is often found on premium racing gloves because it can significantly improve comfort during endurance races, testing sessions, and long track days.
Pre-Curved Driving Fit
The OMP First Evo is shaped around the natural position of the hand while holding a steering wheel. Its pre-curved fingers require less effort to close and help prevent excess material from gathering across the palm.
This driving-specific shape promotes a more relaxed grip, reducing hand fatigue while maintaining precise operation of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and gear levers.
Printed Silicone-Rubber Palm Grip
Fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to provide dependable steering-wheel traction with minimal added thickness. The low-profile grip improves control while preserving sensitivity through the wheel.
Drivers can maintain a secure hold while still feeling steering resistance, vibration, and changes in front-end grip.
Maximum Grip with Minimum Bulk
The printed grip surface eliminates the need for a thick, separate palm reinforcement layer. This helps the glove flex naturally and keeps unnecessary material away from the primary steering-wheel contact areas.
The combination of silicone grip and a pre-curved palm allows the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively.
Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet
The straight-cut gauntlet gives the OMP First Evo a clean, traditional appearance while providing additional wrist coverage. Its extended length helps maintain proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
The longer cuff is designed in accordance with current FIA homologation requirements for increased protection against heat and flame exposure.
Elasticated Wrist for Secure Retention
An elastic band around the wrist keeps the glove securely fitted without requiring a hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening makes the First Evo easy to put on and remove while helping prevent unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs.
The strapless design also eliminates a bulky adjustment point beneath the racing suit sleeve.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The OMP First Evo Racing Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. Their fire-resistant construction and extended cuff provide current protection for the hands and wrists in demanding motorsport environments.
Drivers should verify the exact glove certification required by their sanctioning organization before competition.
