Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves
$44.95
Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves
The Alpinestars Engine Pit Gloves combine lightweight comfort, practical hand protection, and the dexterity mechanics need when working in the garage, paddock, or pit lane. Their hybrid multi-material construction uses breathable stretch mesh, flexible fabric panels, and a durable synthetic suede palm to balance cooling performance with dependable grip and wear resistance.
A strategically positioned TPR knuckle insert adds impact protection without making the glove feel excessively bulky. Conductive printing on the palm and fingers also allows mechanics and crew members to operate compatible tablets, phones, and handheld diagnostic devices without removing their gloves.
Designed for Fast, Precise Pit Work
Working around a race car requires a glove that protects the hands without interfering with tools, fasteners, switches, or small components. The Alpinestars Engine Pit Glove is shaped to support natural hand movement while maintaining the tactile feedback needed for detailed mechanical work.
Its short-cuff design keeps the wrist area unrestricted, while the hook-and-loop closure allows the fit to be adjusted quickly and securely between jobs.
Advanced TPR Knuckle Protection
A flexible thermoplastic rubber insert is positioned across the knuckle area to help protect against bumps and impacts commonly encountered while working around engines, suspension components, bodywork, and workshop equipment.
The low-profile design follows the shape of the hand, delivering added protection while preserving the flexibility required to grip tools and reach into confined areas.
Breathable Stretch Construction
Stretch mesh and flexible fabric panels across the top of the hand promote airflow and help reduce heat buildup during long work sessions. The lightweight materials conform to the hand and support repeated movement without creating unnecessary resistance.
An ergonomic stretch insert between the thumb and palm improves mobility through one of the hand’s highest-movement areas, making it easier to grasp tools, lift parts, and operate equipment.
Durable Synthetic Suede Palm
The synthetic suede palm provides a combination of grip, durability, and tactile sensitivity. It helps the wearer maintain control of tools and components while remaining flexible enough for precision work.
Strategic palm padding improves comfort when handling equipment or applying pressure, while reinforced synthetic suede around the thumb increases durability in an area exposed to frequent friction and wear.
Touchscreen-Compatible Controls
Conductive printing allows compatible touchscreen devices to be operated while the gloves remain on. This is useful for mechanics referencing setup data, entering service notes, checking timing information, or using diagnostic applications in the paddock.
The touchscreen-compatible design reduces interruptions and helps keep the hands protected when moving between physical work and digital equipment.
Strategic Finger Padding
Two-millimeter foam padding is positioned along the fingers to improve comfort and fit without significantly reducing dexterity. The padding provides additional cushioning when handling tools, equipment, and vehicle components.
The shaped finger construction supports a close, controlled fit, helping reduce excess material that could interfere with detailed tasks.
Secure Short-Cuff Closure
A hook-and-loop closure on the back of the hand allows the glove to be tightened for a precise and secure fit. The short cuff provides unrestricted wrist movement and makes the gloves quick to put on or remove during busy pit and workshop operations.
Fade-Resistant Alpinestars Styling
Sublimated graphics on the back of the hand create a distinctive Alpinestars appearance while resisting fading from regular use. The technical styling complements professional race-team apparel and workshop uniforms without compromising the glove’s functional design.

Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoe
$259.00
Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoes
The Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoes combine fast, precise adjustment with lightweight construction and responsive pedal control. Developed for competitive kart racing, the K-Rapid features Sparco’s rotor quick-closure system, allowing drivers to fine-tune the fit without traditional laces.
A smooth microfiber upper provides a supportive and flexible feel, while the breathable lining helps manage heat during demanding indoor and outdoor karting sessions. The elasticated rear ankle bellow allows natural movement when braking and accelerating without sacrificing heel support.
The ultra-light natural rubber outsole uses differentiated grip textures to balance pedal sensitivity with dependable traction. Its oil-resistant and wet-surface grip characteristics help maintain control both inside the kart and while moving through the paddock.
Rotor Quick-Closure System
The K-Rapid uses a dial-operated rotor closure that evenly tensions the cable across the foot. This system allows quick and precise adjustments, helping the shoe maintain a secure fit throughout practice, qualifying, and racing.
The low-profile cable design also eliminates loose conventional laces that can require readjustment or become caught around kart components.
Smooth Microfiber Upper
The upper is constructed from lightweight microfiber leather for a comfortable balance of flexibility, support, and durability. Its smooth profile reduces unnecessary bulk while allowing the shoe to conform closely to the foot.
Breathable Interior Lining
A breathable inner lining promotes airflow around the foot and helps reduce heat buildup. This improves comfort during long races, warm-weather events, and physically demanding indoor karting sessions.
Elasticated Rear Ankle Bellow
The flexible rear bellow allows the ankle and Achilles area to move naturally during pedal operation. This unrestricted movement helps reduce pressure while maintaining support around the heel.
Shock-Absorbing Footbed
An internal shock-absorbing footbed helps isolate vibration transferred through the kart chassis and pedals. Reducing vibration can improve comfort and limit foot fatigue during long sessions.
Ultra-Light Natural Rubber Sole
The lightweight rubber outsole is designed specifically for kart racing. Differentiated grip textures provide an effective balance of traction, flexibility, and direct pedal feedback.
Grip on Wet and Oily Surfaces
The natural rubber compound provides dependable traction on kart pedals and trackside surfaces, including areas that may be damp or exposed to oil and automotive fluids.
Abrasion-Resistant Protection
High-abrasion-resistant reinforcement is positioned around the toe and heel, helping protect the shoe from repeated contact with pedals, chassis components, and paddock surfaces.
FIA 8877-2022 Karting Approval
The Sparco K-Rapid is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 karting equipment standard. This makes it suitable for competitions requiring footwear certified to the latest FIA karting requirements.

Sparco K-Attack Kart Racing Gloves | FIA 8877-2022
$75.00
Sparco K-Attack Kart Racing Gloves
The Sparco K-Attack Kart Racing Gloves bring current FIA-approved protection and proven competition features to an accessible price point. Designed for youth and adult kart racers, the K-Attack combines a synthetic-leather palm, high-grip silicone printing, pre-curved fingers, and external seams for confident steering control without unnecessary bulk.
A breathable upper and lining help manage heat during demanding sessions, while the elasticated cuff keeps the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky adjustment strap. The result is a responsive, comfortable karting glove suited to racers progressing beyond entry-level equipment.
FIA 8877-2022 Approved for Kart Racing
The Sparco K-Attack is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 standard for karting apparel. This current certification makes it suitable for competitions that require FIA-approved karting gloves.
Drivers should still review the technical regulations for their championship, class, and event because equipment requirements and enforcement dates can vary.
High-Grip Silicone Palm and Fingers
Silicone printing is applied across the palm and fingers to increase traction against the steering wheel. The grip pattern helps prevent unwanted hand movement during hard braking, high-load corners, and rapid steering corrections.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the palm rather than formed as a thick pad, it preserves the steering feedback needed to feel changes in tire grip and chassis response.
Durable Synthetic-Leather Palm
The synthetic-leather palm creates a stable and abrasion-resistant contact surface for the steering wheel. It supports repeated use while remaining flexible enough for precise steering inputs.
This material also provides a consistent base for the silicone grip print, helping maintain control without the stiffness of a heavily reinforced work-style glove.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are shaped to follow the natural position of the hand around a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved design limits material bunching at the finger joints and reduces the effort required to maintain a secure grip.
A more natural hand position can help reduce fatigue during long heats, endurance races, and full days of testing or practice.
External Seams for a Smoother Interior
External finger seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother surface against the fingers and reduces the pressure points commonly felt with internally stitched gloves.
The construction is particularly beneficial for racers who experience fingertip irritation or seam discomfort during extended sessions.
Breathable Construction for Hot Sessions
The lightweight upper and breathable lining promote airflow and help reduce perspiration buildup. Better ventilation helps the gloves remain comfortable during summer events, indoor karting, and physically demanding races.
Keeping the hands cooler and drier also helps maintain a more consistent grip as the session progresses.
Secure Elasticated Cuff
An elasticated cuff provides a close, non-slip fit around the wrist. The simple closure keeps the glove securely positioned during quick steering movements while allowing fast entry and removal between sessions.
Without a large hook-and-loop strap, the wrist remains streamlined and unrestricted.
Sublimated Backhand Graphics
Sublimated graphics give the K-Attack its bold Sparco appearance without adding heavy decorative layers. Because the design is integrated into the fabric, it remains flexible and is less likely to crack or peel than a thick surface print.
Multiple color combinations allow racers to coordinate the gloves with their karting suit, shoes, helmet, kart graphics, or team colors.

Where the K-Attack Fits in the Sparco Karting Range
The K-Attack is designed to provide competition-ready features at a more approachable price than Sparco’s premium karting gloves. It includes external seams, pre-curved fingers, silicone grip, and current FIA homologation without adding specialized vibration-damping materials.
This makes it a strong option for developing racers, club competitors, youth drivers, and experienced karters who want certified performance without paying for features they may not need.
K-Attack Versus K-Arrow+
Both gloves use external seams, pre-curved fingers, silicone grip, and FIA 8877-2022 homologation. The K-Arrow+ is positioned as the more refined model, with a more anatomically focused palm design and Touch-S touchscreen compatibility.
The K-Attack focuses on essential grip, comfort, and certification at a lower price point. Drivers who do not need touchscreen fingertips or the more technical K-Arrow+ construction may find the K-Attack provides better value.
K-Attack Versus K-Tide+
The K-Attack uses a conventional synthetic-leather palm with silicone grip printing. The K-Tide+ uses Sparco’s raised 3D HTX palm, which is designed to add vibration absorption as well as traction.
Drivers who want a lightweight, direct connection with the steering wheel may prefer the K-Attack. Racers dealing with substantial steering vibration or hand fatigue may benefit from the more structured K-Tide+ palm.
Who Should Choose the Sparco K-Attack?
The K-Attack is well suited to youth racers moving into FIA-regulated competition, adult club racers, sprint competitors, and drivers purchasing their first homologated karting gloves.
Its external seams also make it a practical choice for anyone who finds conventional internal stitching uncomfortable. Racers seeking thick palm padding or touchscreen functionality should compare it with other models in the Sparco range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Sparco K-Attack use HTX palm technology?No. The K-Attack uses a synthetic-leather palm with high-grip silicone printing. Sparco’s raised 3D HTX material is used on more specialized models such as the K-Tide+.
Is the K-Attack FIA approved or only intended for recreational karting?The K-Attack is homologated to FIA 8877-2022. It can be used in competitions accepting that standard, subject to the specific regulations of the event.
Why is the K-Attack less expensive than the K-Arrow+?It focuses on the essential competition features: certification, silicone grip, external seams, breathable construction, and a pre-curved fit. The K-Arrow+ adds more refined shaping and touchscreen functionality.
Does the silicone grip extend onto the fingers?Yes. Silicone printing is used across the palm and fingers to provide traction when gripping and repositioning the hands on the steering wheel.
Is the palm padded for vibration reduction?The K-Attack is not designed around thick vibration-damping padding. It prioritizes lightweight steering feel. Drivers wanting more cushioning should compare it with the Sparco K-Tide+.
Are these gloves suitable for youth FIA competition?Yes, provided the event accepts FIA 8877-2022 and the driver wears the correct size. Dedicated youth sizes 4 through 6 are available.
Do the youth gloves have the same FIA approval as the adult version?The youth K-Attack is part of the same homologated model range. Confirm the FIA label is present on the physical gloves before entering regulated competition.
How should the K-Attack fit when new?The glove should fit closely around the palm and fingers without restricting circulation or forcing the fingers to curl. The fingertips should be filled with little or no empty space.
Will the synthetic-leather palm loosen after break-in?It may conform slightly with use, but racers should not depend on significant stretching. A glove that is painfully tight when new is likely the wrong size.
Do external seams make the fingers feel wider?The stitching is visible outside the fingers, but it removes seam bulk from the interior. Most drivers notice a smoother internal fit rather than a meaningfully wider glove.
Does the K-Attack work well with suede steering wheels?Yes. The silicone print is designed to provide strong grip on common kart steering-wheel materials, including suede. Grip intensity can vary according to wheel condition and cleanliness.
Are the gloves suitable for endurance karting?Yes. Their external seams, pre-curved shape, and breathable lining help reduce discomfort during longer stints. Drivers sensitive to vibration may prefer a more padded model.
Can the K-Attack operate a touchscreen?Touchscreen compatibility is not listed as a K-Attack feature. Drivers wanting Touch-S functionality should consider the Sparco K-Arrow+ or another touchscreen-compatible model.
How should the silicone palm be cleaned?Hand wash the gloves gently in cool water with mild soap. Avoid aggressive brushing, bleach, machine washing, and direct heat that could damage the silicone or synthetic palm.
How can premature palm wear be prevented?Use the gloves primarily for driving. Avoid handling tools, rough kart bodywork, chains, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces while wearing them.
