Alpinestars TECH-1 K V2 Karting Gloves: Maximum Feel, Grip & Comfort

Experience superior feel and control with the lightweight Alpinestars TECH-1 K V2 karting gloves. Featuring synthetic suede palms, silicone grip, and touchscreen compatibility for optimum performance.

The Alpinestars TECH-1 K V2 Gloves are engineered for professional and enthusiast karting drivers seeking an optimal combination of fit, comfort, and performance. This lightweight sports glove features a durable, multi-layer construction, often a two-layer stretch nylon-cotton or polyester-mesh bonded with polymesh, which significantly reduces weight while providing high levels of sensitivity and feel. The glove incorporates internal seams for an excellent fit and feedback. The palm is constructed from synthetic suede leather for enhanced durability, feel, and control, complemented by an ergonomically designed silicone surface treatment on the palm and fingers for superior grip and flexibility. Ventilation is managed through mesh or a combination of mesh and Lycra fourchettes on the fingers, promoting airflow and comfort in warm conditions. An open cuff design with a 180∘ elasticated wrist ensures easy entry and a secure fit. Additionally, the glove features touch-compatible prints on the thumb and index finger, allowing for the use of mobile devices while at the track.
