Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Karting Gloves | Ultimate Grip

Get superior control and comfort with the Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 karting gloves. Lightweight, high-grip synthetic suede palm & touchscreen compatible.

The Alpinestars TECH-1 K RACE V2 Glove is a lightweight, high-performance karting glove designed for maximum comfort, feel, and control. Engineered with a new construction of polyester bonded with polymesh, this glove offers superb durability and enhanced comfort, especially in warm weather conditions. The palm features a high-grip synthetic suede material with an ergonomically designed silicone surface treatment across the palm and fingers. This combination provides excellent grip, flexibility, and precise control over the steering wheel, significantly reducing material bunching and hand fatigue during long stints. For optimal ventilation and flexibility, the fingers utilize a blend of mesh fourchettes (on one half) and Lycra (on the other half). The glove features internal seams (or in some models, external seams for maximum feel) and pre-curved fingers, further enhancing the fit and reducing internal pressure points. The open cuff design, with a 180° elasticated wrist, ensures easy and secure entry and a snug fit. A modern touch-compatible print on the thumb and index finger allows for seamless use of mobile devices or track-side electronics without needing to remove the gloves. Finished with a digitally printed surface, the Tech-1 K Race V2 delivers an aggressive, professional racing aesthetic.
