Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 Karting Gloves | Superior Grip, Comfort & Feel

Experience enhanced control and comfort with Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 solid gloves. Lightweight, ventilated, and featuring a high-grip synthetic suede palm. Perfect for karting.

The Alpinestars TECH-1 K Race V2 Solid Gloves are a lightweight, high-performance sports glove designed specifically for kart racing. Featuring a durable construction of polyester bonded with polymesh, these gloves offer an optimal blend of comfort, fit, feel, and durability, especially in warm conditions. The palm is crafted from synthetic suede leather with an ergonomically designed silicone print surface treatment on the palm and fingers. This combination provides excellent levels of grip, feel, and control on the steering wheel. Internal seams are utilized to further enhance comfort and durability. Ventilation is maximized through a strategic combination of mesh and Lycra® fourchettes (the fabric in between the fingers), promoting airflow and flexibility. The glove incorporates a pre-curved finger and palm design to reduce material bunching and aid in a better fit. Finished with Alpinestars' open gauntlet cuff design, which includes a 180∘ elasticated wrist, these gloves ensure easy entry and a secure fit. Additionally, touch-compatible fingertips on the thumb and index finger allow for the use of mobile devices while off-track.
