Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 Carbon Gloves | Ultimate Karting Grip & Comfort

Experience superior feel and control with the lightweight Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 Carbon Karting Gloves. Features include synthetic suede palm with silicone grip, internal seams, and touchscreen compatibility for peak performance.

The Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 Carbon Gloves are high-performance, lightweight sports-level karting gloves engineered for superb comfort, durability, and feel. Constructed with a polyester bonded with polymesh material, they offer optimal ventilation, especially in warm climates, without sacrificing protection. The synthetic suede leather palm is treated with an ergonomically designed silicone print surface to provide exceptional grip, feel, and control on the steering wheel. Internal seams minimize material resistance, enhancing comfort and feel. The glove utilizes a blend of mesh and Lycra fourchettes (finger sidewalls) for a perfect balance of flexibility, airflow, and comfort. The pre-curved finger and palm design aids the fit and significantly reduces material bunching. Finished with Alpinestars' open cuff design, which incorporates a 180° elasticated wrist for a secure fit and easy entry, these gloves also feature a touch-compatible print on the thumb and index finger for use with mobile devices at the track. The 'Carbon' model features sleek, carbon-fiber style graphics for an aggressive, technical aesthetic.
