Alpinestars Tech-1 K v3 Karting Gloves | FIA 8877-2022
$89.66
Alpinestars Tech-1 K v3 Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v3 Karting Gloves are premium competition gloves designed for drivers who demand precise steering feedback, lightweight comfort, and dependable grip. Their ergonomic construction combines pre-curved fingers, a synthetic suede palm, and strategically applied silicone grip to create a responsive connection with the kart steering wheel.
Four-way stretch materials allow the gloves to move naturally with the hands, while semi-external seams reduce interior bulk and pressure points. Certified to the FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 homologation standard, the Tech-1 K v3 delivers current competition approval with the fit, sensitivity, and distinctive styling expected from Alpinestars.
FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 Homologation
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v3 is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 standard for karting apparel. This current certification makes the gloves suitable for karting events that require FIA-approved protective equipment.
Drivers should always confirm the specific equipment rules of their championship, sanctioning organization, or event before competition.
Lightweight Construction with Precise Steering Feel
The Tech-1 K v3 uses a lightweight chassis that minimizes unnecessary material between the driver and steering wheel. This streamlined construction helps preserve tactile feedback, allowing the driver to feel changes in front-end grip, steering load, and chassis movement.
Reduced bulk also allows the fingers to move freely when making quick corrections or maintaining a consistent steering position during demanding sessions.
Four-Way Stretch Upper
A dual-layer nylon and cotton upper incorporates four-way stretch to provide a close, flexible fit. The material follows the natural movement of the hand without creating excessive resistance across the knuckles or fingers.
The stretch construction also helps reduce loose material and bunching, keeping the glove securely positioned during rapid steering inputs.
Synthetic Suede Palm
The synthetic suede palm provides a durable and stable contact surface for the steering wheel. Its low-profile construction balances abrasion resistance with the sensitivity needed for precise kart control.
Synthetic suede also supports consistent performance through repeated practice sessions, qualifying runs, and race-day use.
Silicone-Printed Grip
Silicone printing across the palm improves traction against the steering wheel. The grip treatment helps reduce unwanted hand movement during braking, cornering, and quick changes of direction.
Because the silicone is applied directly to the palm surface, it adds grip without requiring a thick reinforcement layer that could reduce steering feel.
Pre-Curved Finger Design
The fingers are shaped to follow the natural position of the hand around a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved construction reduces material bunching and minimizes the effort needed to maintain a secure grip.
A more natural hand position can help reduce fatigue during long races, endurance events, and repeated sessions throughout a race weekend.
Semi-External Seams
Semi-external seams move much of the stitching away from sensitive contact areas inside the fingers. This creates a smoother interior and helps reduce irritation or pressure during extended use.
The seam configuration also supports a close fit while maintaining the durability required for competitive karting.
Sublimated Alpinestars Graphics
The upper glove features bold sublimated graphics that resist fading and cracking. Multiple color combinations allow drivers to coordinate their gloves with their karting suit, helmet, shoes, and team colors.
The graphic treatment provides a distinctive appearance without adding raised materials or unnecessary weight to the glove.
Straight-Cut Gauntlet Cuff
A straight-cut gauntlet cuff extends over the wrist to provide a clean, secure fit. The streamlined design allows the glove to remain comfortably positioned while maintaining unrestricted wrist movement.
The cuff construction also makes the gloves easy to put on and remove between sessions.

Sparco Extrema S Driver Race Suit
Save $1,100 off the suggested retail price!
The Sparco Extrema S racing suit takes the same patented Hocotex® material used in Sparco's successful Eagle line and incorporates it into a classically-styled fire suit. Three times as breathable as a traditional multi-layered racing suit, 360º fully-floating arm gussets on the Sparco Extrema S are combined with a stretchable mesh back panel for maximum flexibility and comfort. Extra-flat seams provide additional comfort, while traditional design touches such as classic Sparco epaulettes and seamless ankle/wrist cuffs make this suit a perfect platform for sponsor logos!
How Does Sparco Hocotex Work?
Racing suits are traditionally constructed using multiple layers of fabric sewn together with an embroidered quilted pattern. This quilting creates air pockets between the layers which expand when exposed to extreme heat and flames, creating a thermal protection barrier for the driver. Sparco Hocotex® uses a honeycomb structure with over 60,000 internal air cells, compared to 300 quilted chambers in a traditional suit. The result is a 10% to 12% increase in protection from heat versus the traditional quilting method.

Weight: 290 to 320 g/m2

Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves | FIA
$169.95
Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves are purpose-built for professional motorsport mechanics who need fire-resistant protection, impact absorption, dependable grip, and fast on-and-off performance in the pit lane.
Designed and developed through competition in the World Endurance Championship, the Tech-M combines a lightweight bonded aramid-fiber construction with strategically positioned protective foam, abrasion-resistant reinforcement, and textured leather palm inserts.
The pre-curved design helps reduce material bunching while operating wheel guns, handling wheels, and completing other demanding pit-stop tasks. An open cuff with a 180-degree elasticated wrist provides a secure fit while allowing mechanics to quickly put on or remove the gloves.
Developed for Professional Pit-Crew Use
The Tech-M was designed specifically around the needs of motorsport pit crews. Its construction supports the rapid hand movements, tool control, grip, and protection required during high-pressure pit stops.
The reduced-material design helps preserve dexterity and tactile feedback while maintaining protection in areas exposed to impact, abrasion, vibration, and heat.
Flame-Resistant Aramid Construction
The main glove body is made from bonded flame-resistant aramid fiber. This lightweight construction provides a balance of protection, comfort, flexibility, and durability for professional motorsport environments.
The flame-resistant materials help provide the coverage required for pit-lane personnel working around fuel, hot components, brakes, wheels, and other competition hazards.
Impact-Absorbing Knuckle and Finger Protection
Silicon FR-coated protective patches incorporate foam reinforcement across the knuckles and fingers. These strategically positioned areas help absorb impact during wheel changes, equipment handling, and other pit activities.
The protective construction is designed to provide additional coverage without creating unnecessary bulk or significantly restricting hand movement.
Reinforced Thumb and Index-Finger Area
A Silicon FR-reinforced aramid patch is positioned between the thumb and index finger. This high-contact area experiences substantial wear when gripping wheel guns, handles, tools, and other pit equipment.
The reinforcement improves abrasion resistance while helping the glove maintain its shape and performance through repeated use.
Textured Goat Nappa Leather Palm Inserts
Strategically positioned 1 mm Textured Goat Nappa leather inserts provide grip, abrasion resistance, and shock absorption across key palm contact areas.
The leather reinforcement helps mechanics maintain control of wheel guns, wheels, tools, and equipment while reducing vibration and impact transmitted through the hands.
Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm
The fingers and palm are pre-curved to follow the natural gripping position of the hand. This construction reduces excess material and bunching when holding a wheel gun or other pit equipment.
The ergonomic shape helps improve dexterity, comfort, and control during fast, repetitive pit-stop procedures.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
The wide cuff opening allows mechanics to quickly put on the gloves when preparing for a pit stop. A 180-degree elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky closure system.
An integrated silicone pull tab assists with removal, helping pit crew members transition quickly between tasks.
Durable Embroidered Graphics
Fully embroidered Alpinestars graphics provide a professional appearance and improved durability compared with basic surface printing. The branding is designed to withstand repeated professional use and frequent handling.
FIA Homologated Pit-Crew Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves comply with the FIA 8856-2000 homologation standard. This makes them suitable for many professional motorsport applications requiring approved protective equipment for pit-lane personnel.
Teams and crew members should confirm the required certification with their racing organization, series, or sanctioning body before competition.
