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

The OMP Sport Gloves are shaped to remain comfortable during prolonged use. Their lightweight materials and uncomplicated construction allow the hand to flex naturally around the steering wheel, shifter, and cockpit controls.

The glove’s close fit helps reduce excess material at the fingertips and palm, improving dexterity without sacrificing fire-resistant coverage.

FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection

The OMP Sport Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. This certification makes them suitable for racing organizations and events that require current FIA-approved fire-resistant driver gloves.

Drivers should confirm the specific equipment rules of their sanctioning organization before competition.
