The Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX V2 GLV is a competition-level racing glove engineered to provide professional and amateur racers with optimal feel, comfort, and advanced fire protection. The glove features an innovative, flame-resistant aramidic fiber main construction with a bonded aramidic lining, ensuring superior temperature control and a lightweight, high-performance feel. A standout design element is the strategic seam placement: inside seams on the thumb offer exceptional feedback on the steering wheel's multiple buttons, while external seams on the other four fingers eliminate pressure points for superior comfort during long stints. Grip and control are paramount, delivered through an inner palm treated with latex to minimize micro-slipping and an ergonomically designed silicon surface patterning on the palm and fingers for enhanced flexibility and precise control in both wet and dry conditions. The glove is also practical for modern racing life, featuring a touchscreen-compatible print on the thumb and index finger. For a secure and comfortable fit, the glove incorporates an ergonomic chassis design with pre-curved fingers to reduce driver fatigue.⁸ The open cuff design with a ⁹$180^\circ$ elasticated wrist ensures easy entry, a secure fit, and compliance with the extended cuff length required by the latest safety standards.
