Alpinestars TECH-1 RACE GLV

Alpinestars Tech-1 Race V4 FIA Racing Gloves - Ultimate Grip & Comfort

Certified to FIA 8856-2018 standards, the Alpinestars Tech-1 Race V4 glove offers a superior combination of fire protection, high-grip silicone palm, pre-curved fit, and reduced-seam comfort for competitive auto racing.

The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race Glove (latest version, e.g., V4) is engineered to deliver professional-level performance, feel, and protection at a highly competitive price point. The glove's main assembly features a flame-resistant aramidic fiber bonded with an aramidic lining, ensuring optimal levels of performance, comfort, and, most importantly, safety, meeting the stringent FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 homologation standards. Its design prioritizes driver control and comfort. The glove utilizes a minimal seam construction and external seams on the palm side to significantly reduce pressure points, enhancing comfort and feel on the steering wheel. A key feature is the extended silicone printing on the fingers and full palm, providing superb, consistent grip and control. The glove is further enhanced with a full gauntlet, single-panel top construction to minimize weight and seams, and a pre-curved finger and palm design to reduce material bunching and driver fatigue. An extended cuff length, compliant with the latest FIA standards, offers maximum protection against fire and heat, secured by Alpinestars' open cuff design with a 180° elasticated wrist for a secure, easy-entry fit.
