We’ve sold tens of thousands of helmets here at Competition Motorsport and, in the process of doing that, answered a million questions (probably) about them. With that in mind, this article will give you the real lowdown on selecting a proper auto racing helmet. We’ll go over the why’s and how’s of size, shape, certification, pricing, features, and maintenance so you have the tools you need to select the perfect helmet.
If you mount it on or install it in your vehicle for track days or wheel-to-wheel racing, the Competition Motorsport Racecar Gear collection is where you'll find it!
These are very nice gloves.
I am female, with small hands and fingers (size 4 ring)
The XS size I chose fits perfectly, not a little oversized
like my previous gloves.
I have paddle shifters in my race car, and it is important
to have my gloves fit correctly.

Tight fit—borderline small
I usually wear medium but these felt extra snug in the fingers. Would recommend going up a size if you’re on the edge.

Grip is ridiculous—in a good way
I wasn’t ready for how sticky these feel on the wheel. You barely have to hold on and they still don’t slip. Total game-changer.

Takes a little while to break in
Felt a bit stiff out of the packaging, but after two race weekends they started to mold to my hand better. Worth the wait.

Exactly what I needed for endurance racing
Used these for a 4-hour enduro and they stayed grippy the whole time. No hand fatigue, no slipping, just consistent feel.
