The Alpinestars TECH-1 K RACE V2 FUTURE GLOVES in striking Red/Tangerine offer a professional-grade blend of performance, comfort, and durability for karting and competitive simulation racing. As part of Alpinestars' sport-level karting glove range, this model is engineered with a lightweight, advanced polyester-mesh construction bonded with polymesh to provide optimal feel and enhanced comfort, especially in warm weather conditions. The palm features a high-quality synthetic suede material for excellent durability, feel, and grip. This is significantly enhanced by a new ergonomically designed silicone print on the palm and finger areas, ensuring exceptional control over the steering wheel with reduced material bunching. Ventilation is maximized by a design utilizing mesh and Lycra fourchettes (the material between the fingers), offering a perfect balance of airflow, flexibility, and comfort. Practicality is a key feature, with touchscreen compatible fingertips on the thumb and index finger, allowing for use of mobile devices or track systems without removing the gloves. The fit is secured with a low-profile, open cuff design incorporating a 180° elasticated wrist for easy and quick entry and a secure fit. The vibrant "Future" graphic design in Red and Tangerine ensures a bold, aggressive aesthetic on the track.
