OMP Pro Mech Evo Nomex Pit Crew Gloves
The OMP Pro Mech Evo Nomex Pit Crew Gloves are professional fire-resistant mechanic gloves engineered to provide heat protection, impact resistance, secure grip, and precise tool control in demanding motorsport environments.
Designed for pit crews and race mechanics, the Pro Mech Evo combines a soft, flexible upper with strategically positioned silicone-rubber protection in critical impact areas. An anti-slip silicone palm and finger design helps mechanics maintain dependable control when operating wheel guns, handling wheels, and performing fast-paced repairs or adjustments.
Designed for Professional Pit Crews
The OMP Pro Mech Evo is designed for mechanics who need protection without sacrificing dexterity. Its flexible construction supports the rapid hand movements required during tire changes, fueling stops, adjustments, repairs, and other high-pressure pit-lane tasks.
The close ergonomic fit helps mechanics maintain tactile feedback when handling tools, sockets, fasteners, connectors, and other equipment where accuracy and speed are essential.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The OMP Pro Mech Evo Pit Gloves are homologated to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for fire-resistant motorsport equipment. This certification makes them suitable for many professional racing applications requiring FIA-approved protective gloves.
Teams and crew members should always verify the specific safety-equipment requirements of their racing series or sanctioning organization before use.
Flame-Resistant Construction
The glove uses fire-resistant materials to help protect the hands in motorsport environments where heat, sparks, and flame exposure may occur. Its protective construction is engineered to provide dependable coverage while remaining flexible enough for detailed mechanical work.
The lightweight upper helps reduce unnecessary bulk and allows the hand to move naturally when gripping tools or equipment.
Silicone-Rubber Impact Protection
High-protection silicone-rubber reinforcements are positioned over critical impact areas, including the knuckles, the section between the thumb and index finger, and the lower portion of the arm.
These protective zones help absorb and distribute impact forces that may occur while working around wheels, suspension components, bodywork, tools, and other equipment in confined pit-lane environments.
Soft Perforated Upper Fabric
A soft, perforated upper fabric improves flexibility and airflow around the hand. This breathable construction helps reduce heat buildup during extended use while allowing the glove to flex naturally during repetitive mechanical tasks.
The combination of ventilation and protection makes the Pro Mech Evo suitable for high-pressure service work where comfort and mobility are equally important.
Anti-Slip Silicone Palm and Fingers
Anti-slip silicone rubber is applied across the palm and fingers to provide dependable grip on tools, wheel guns, sockets, wheels, and other equipment. The textured surface helps reduce unwanted movement and allows mechanics to maintain control without excessive gripping pressure.
Improved palm traction can also help reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work and extended pit-lane sessions.
Internal Seams for a Clean Fit
The OMP Pro Mech Evo uses internally stitched seams for a clean, close-fitting construction. The glove is shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand, providing the precise fit required for detailed mechanical tasks.
The streamlined design minimizes excess material and improves dexterity when operating controls or handling smaller components.
Heat and Impact Protection
The Pro Mech Evo provides a balanced combination of flame resistance and impact protection. Reinforced zones protect vulnerable areas of the hand, while the flexible upper and anti-slip palm preserve the responsiveness required for fast pit work.
This combination makes the glove well suited for tire changers, wheel-gun operators, race mechanics, and other crew members working under demanding conditions.
