Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Advance Karting Gloves - Grip, Comfort & Feel

Experience superb feel and grip with the Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Advance karting gloves. Lightweight, breathable, synthetic suede palm, and touchscreen compatible.

The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Advance Glove is a lightweight, high-performance karting glove engineered for superior comfort, fit, and feel. Designed for motorsports enthusiasts, this glove features a modern construction of lightweight polyester bonded with polymesh, delivering exceptional levels of durability and breathability, crucial for warm-weather racing. The palm is crafted from durable synthetic suede leather with an all-new, ergonomically designed silicone print surface treatment. This innovative design maximizes grip and mobility on the steering wheel, giving you precise control. Comfort is paramount, which is why the glove incorporates internal seams and pre-curved fingers to reduce material bunching and prevent pressure points. Ventilation and flexibility are optimized through mesh fourchettes (the fabric between the fingers) on one side and Lycra on the other, ensuring excellent airflow. The Alpinestars open cuff design with a $180^\circ$ elasticated wrist ensures easy entry and a secure, comfortable fit. An added convenience for the modern racer is the touch-compatible print on the thumb and index finger, allowing for the use of mobile devices while at the track.
