Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Corporate Karting Gloves
$49.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Corporate Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Corporate Karting Gloves are designed for racers who want lightweight comfort, dependable steering-wheel grip, and professional Alpinestars styling. Their close-fitting construction keeps excess material to a minimum, helping drivers maintain accurate steering feedback during practice, qualifying, and race sessions.
A breathable polyester-polymesh upper supports airflow and natural hand movement, while the synthetic suede palm creates a durable contact surface against the wheel. Silicone grip printing across the palm and fingers adds traction where it matters most, helping the driver stay composed through braking zones, technical corners, and rapid steering corrections.
Corporate Styling with a Competition-Inspired Look
The Corporate edition gives the Tech-1 K Race v2 platform a clean, coordinated appearance suitable for individual racers, teams, driving schools, and corporate karting programs. Its bold digital graphics and recognizable Alpinestars branding create a professional look without compromising flexibility or comfort.
The streamlined visual design pairs easily with a wide range of karting suits, helmets, and team color schemes.
Made for Direct Steering Feedback
Kart drivers rely on their hands to recognize changes in steering load and front-end grip. The Tech-1 K Race v2 Corporate minimizes unnecessary palm thickness so the driver can maintain a more direct connection with the wheel.
Its pre-curved shape follows the natural position of the fingers while driving, reducing fabric bunching and allowing the glove to wrap comfortably around the steering wheel.
Lightweight Polyester-Polymesh Upper
The upper combines lightweight polyester with polymesh to balance durability, airflow, and flexibility. The material stretches with the hand while maintaining a close racing fit through repeated steering movements.
This breathable construction is especially beneficial during indoor karting, summer race weekends, and long practice sessions where heat buildup can reduce comfort and concentration.
Synthetic Suede Palm Construction
A synthetic suede palm provides wear resistance in the areas that experience constant contact with the steering wheel. The material remains relatively thin and flexible, preserving the steering sensitivity needed for precise kart control.
This combination of durability and feel makes the glove suitable for racers who spend frequent or extended sessions behind the wheel.
Silicone Grip for More Confident Control
Ergonomically positioned silicone printing covers key contact areas across the palm and fingers. The textured surface increases traction against the steering wheel and helps reduce unwanted hand movement during aggressive steering inputs.
Improved grip also allows the driver to hold the wheel securely without applying excessive pressure, which can help reduce hand and forearm fatigue over longer sessions.
Ventilation and Stretch Between the Fingers
The finger fourchettes combine mesh on selected fingers with Lycra on the remaining areas. Mesh encourages airflow, while Lycra stretches naturally as the fingers bend and reposition around the wheel.
Using both materials creates a practical balance of ventilation, mobility, comfort, and durability.
Internal Seams and Pre-Curved Fit
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Corporate uses internal seams for a traditional karting-glove feel. Its pre-curved fingers and shaped palm help compensate for the internal construction by reducing excess material and maintaining a natural driving position.
The resulting fit is close and responsive without restricting normal finger movement.
Secure Open-Cuff Design
Alpinestars’ open gauntlet cuff allows the glove to slide on easily without a separate closure strap. A 180-degree elasticated wrist expands during entry and then fits closely around the wrist to help keep the glove securely positioned.
The extended cuff also creates comfortable coverage between the glove and the sleeve of a karting suit.
Touchscreen Access at the Track
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate many smartphones, lap timers, and touchscreen devices without removing their gloves.
This feature is useful for reviewing lap data, adjusting mobile timing applications, or checking messages between heats.

Chillout Systems 4" Carbon Fiber NACA Duct (Dual)
$302.00
Chillout Systems 4" Carbon Fiber Dual NACA Duct
Ultra lightweight and wind tunnel tested, the Chillout 4" Carbon Fiber Dual NACA Duct provides over 55% more airflow than a standard 3" NACA duct. Used in conjunction with Chillout 4" Neoprene Air Duct Hose and a 4" plenum, the 4" Carbon Fiber Dual NACA Duct maximizes the cooling efficiency of your driver cooling system.
WHY USE NACA DUCTS AT ALL?
NACA ducts bring air into a vehicle with a minimal increase in drag. The purpose of a NACA duct is to increase the flow rate of air while not disturbing the boundary layer. When the cross-sectional flow area of the duct is increased, you decrease static pressure and make the duct into a vacuum cleaner, minus the drag effects of a traditional scoop. A NACA duct starts narrow then widens in a graceful arc to increase the cross-sectional area slowly, so exterior boundary air flow doesn’t separate to cause turbulence and drag.

Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Carbon Fiber Helmet
$1,999.00
$4,000.00
Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet
FIA 8860 Certification valid thru 2033 for these ST5 FN 8860 ABP Helmet
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet is engineered for professional drivers who demand one of the highest levels of helmet protection available in motorsports. Designed around the stringent FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard, the ST5 FN ABP combines an extremely lightweight carbon-fiber shell with Advanced Ballistic Protection developed for top-level open-wheel, prototype, endurance, and professional racing.
The FN designation stands for Stilo's Formula Naked configuration. Unlike the ST5 GT, the FN eliminates the external integrated side ports to reduce weight and create an exceptionally clean aerodynamic profile. The helmet can still be configured for communications, forced air, hydration, and helmet eject systems through Stilo's purpose-built accessory system.
For drivers competing at the highest levels of motorsport—or racers who simply refuse to compromise on protection—the ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP delivers exceptional safety, low weight, comfort, and professional-grade functionality.
FIA 8860-2018 ABP Advanced Ballistic Protection
ABP stands for Advanced Ballistic Protection. FIA developed the ABP specification to provide increased protection to the frontal area of the helmet, particularly around the forehead and visor opening.
The ABP design incorporates additional protection directly into the helmet structure instead of relying on the separate Zylon visor panel used with previous-generation FIA 8860-2010 Formula 1 helmets.
The FIA 8860-2018 ABP testing procedure includes demanding impact and projectile testing intended for motorsports where drivers may be exposed to debris and other high-energy impacts. The result is an exceptionally protective helmet designed for the highest levels of professional competition.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP is constructed from 100% medium-tensile carbon fiber, providing an outstanding combination of strength, rigidity, impact performance, and low weight.
Reducing helmet weight is especially important in open-wheel and high-downforce race cars, where sustained lateral G-forces can place significant loads on the driver's head and neck. The lightweight construction of the ST5 FN helps reduce fatigue during long sessions without sacrificing the protection required by the FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard.
Designed for Open-Cockpit and Professional Racing
The ST5 FN ABP is particularly well suited for open-wheel and open-cockpit racing where the driver's helmet is more exposed to airflow, debris, and other environmental factors.
The ABP configuration uses a reduced-height eyeport and specialized visor to increase protection around the forehead area. Combined with the aerodynamic ST5 shell, the helmet provides a compact and streamlined profile for high-speed racing.
Formula Naked FN Design
The FN or Formula Naked configuration removes the external side accessory ports found on the Stilo ST5 GT. Eliminating these ports reduces weight and creates a smooth exterior shell ideally suited to Formula, prototype, and open-wheel applications.
Despite the clean exterior, the ST5 FN remains compatible with a wide range of Stilo accessories and can be configured for driver communications, hydration, top forced air, and helmet eject systems.
Integrated Accessory Capability
The ST5 FN was designed so important racing accessories can be added without creating unnecessary cables, hoses, or components hanging around the driver's helmet.
Compatible with Stilo FN communication systems
Compatible with Stilo top forced-air systems
Compatible with helmet eject systems
Compatible with hydration systems
Available aero accessories for open-cockpit applications
Compatible with Stilo ABP-specific visors
Communications, forced-air components, hydration equipment, and other optional accessories are sold separately unless specifically included with the selected configuration.
Factory-Installed HANS Posts
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP comes with factory-installed HANS posts, making it ready for use with compatible head-and-neck restraint systems.
Factory installation provides a clean, properly positioned attachment solution without requiring the racer to install restraint anchors separately.
ST5 ABP Visor System
The ABP helmet uses a specialized reduced-height eyeport and visor designed specifically around the Advanced Ballistic Protection requirements.
Stilo's center visor locking system allows the shield to be opened and closed easily, even while wearing racing gloves. Tear-off posts allow the helmet to be configured for racing environments where debris and contamination can quickly affect visibility.
Important: Because of the different eyeport design, always verify that replacement shields and accessories are specifically compatible with the ST5 ABP helmet.
Improved Interior Comfort
Stilo redesigned the ST5 interior with more contoured cheek pads and padding designed to improve comfort and helmet stability.
Removable earmuff cushions help isolate the driver's ears from surrounding noise, creating a quieter environment and providing dedicated space for compatible communications equipment.
Eight-Point Top Ventilation
Eight ventilation openings across the top of the helmet help manage airflow and can also be used with the optional Stilo ST5 Top Air System.
A forced-air system can be especially valuable in endurance racing, enclosed cockpits, and hot-weather competition where maintaining driver comfort and concentration becomes increasingly important.

Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Helmet Sizing Chart
Stilo ST5 full-face helmets use two different shell sizes to provide a better-fitting helmet without adding unnecessary padding and weight.
Discovery Parts Fit Note: We have found that customers who normally wear a size 59 in some other helmet brands are often more comfortable moving to a Stilo size 60. Stilo helmets tend to fit slightly snugger than many competing brands, so accurate measurement is important.
How to Measure for a Stilo Helmet
Use a flexible cloth measuring tape and measure around the widest part of your head. Position the tape approximately one inch above your eyebrows, run it above your ears, and continue around the widest portion at the back of your head.
Take the measurement two or three times and use the largest number. A properly fitted racing helmet should fit firmly and evenly around your head without creating painful pressure points.

OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves | 2026 Model
$79.00
OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves
The OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves are lightweight performance gloves designed for drivers who prioritize ventilation, direct steering feedback, and unrestricted hand movement. Their breathable AirFlow upper helps reduce heat buildup, while a low-profile silicone palm provides secure steering-wheel traction without adding unnecessary bulk.
Pre-shaped fingers place the hand in a natural driving position, and externally stitched seams keep bulky thread away from sensitive areas inside the glove. Available in adult and junior sizing, the KS-3 offers a practical combination of comfort, grip, and recognizable OMP styling for kart racers at multiple experience levels.
AirFlow Fabric for Hot Track Conditions
The upper glove uses highly breathable, rice-grain-textured AirFlow fabric to promote ventilation around the hand. The open texture allows heat and moisture to escape more easily than a dense conventional fabric.
This construction is especially beneficial during summer races, indoor karting sessions, endurance events, and repeated practice runs where heat buildup can affect concentration and comfort.
Lightweight Silicone Steering-Wheel Grip
A silicone grip treatment across the palm creates dependable traction against the kart steering wheel. The low-profile application helps keep the hands securely positioned during braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections.
Unlike a heavily padded palm, the lightweight grip surface preserves the detailed feedback needed to recognize changes in steering effort, front-tire grip, and chassis behavior.
Pre-Shaped Ergonomic Fingers
The KS-3 uses pre-shaped fingers that follow the position the hand naturally assumes while holding a kart steering wheel. This reduces the amount of effort required to close the hand and limits material bunching around the finger joints.
A more natural resting position can help reduce fatigue through long heats and makes it easier to maintain consistent steering inputs throughout a race.
External Seams and Finger Forchettes
The finger seams are positioned externally to move stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior and helps prevent rubbing or concentrated pressure against the fingers.
Separate finger side panels, commonly known as forchettes, improve shaping and allow the glove to fit more naturally around each finger. Together, these features support sensitivity without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Direct Steering Feel Without Heavy Padding
The KS-3 is designed around light weight and steering sensitivity rather than substantial vibration-damping padding. Drivers receive a close connection to the wheel with minimal material between the hand and steering rim.
This makes the glove well suited to racers who value precise feedback. Drivers who experience significant hand fatigue from steering vibration may prefer a thicker model with dedicated palm cushioning.
Straight-Cut Elasticated Wrist
A straight wrist opening gives the KS-3 a clean, streamlined fit. The integrated elastic band helps keep the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop adjustment strap.
The flexible opening also allows quick entry and removal between sessions while maintaining a close fit once the glove is on.
Adult and Junior Karting Sizes
The KS-3 is available in adult and junior sizing, making it suitable for younger competitors as well as experienced racers. Drivers should select a size according to hand measurements rather than age alone, since finger length and palm width can vary significantly among junior racers.
A correct fit should fill the fingertips and palm without limiting circulation, forcing the fingers to curl, or leaving loose material against the steering wheel.

Who Should Choose the OMP KS-3?
The KS-3 is a strong choice for club racers, junior competitors, rental-kart drivers, and experienced racers who want a lightweight glove with minimal palm bulk. Its breathable upper makes it particularly attractive for hot-weather and indoor karting.
It is also a practical step up from basic recreational gloves for drivers who want external-seam comfort and a dedicated silicone steering-wheel grip without moving into a heavily padded premium model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the OMP KS-3 carry an FIA 8877-2022 homologation?An FIA 8877-2022 approval has not been confirmed for this listing. Drivers entering events with mandatory glove certification should inspect the label on the physical product and verify acceptance with the championship before ordering.
Is the KS-3 fire resistant for automobile racing?No fire-resistant automobile-racing approval is stated. The KS-3 is designed as a karting glove and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved Nomex gloves when flame-resistant equipment is required.
What does the rice-grain texture do?The textured AirFlow fabric creates a lightweight, ventilated upper that promotes air movement and helps moisture escape during hot or physically demanding sessions.
Is the KS-3 a padded glove?No. It prioritizes low weight and direct steering feel rather than thick palm cushioning. Racers wanting substantial vibration absorption should consider a glove with dedicated padding or a structured grip material.
How does the KS-3 compare with the OMP KS-2R?The KS-3 is the lighter and simpler option, emphasizing airflow, silicone grip, and value. The KS-2R adds more technical articulation, including flexible bellows, mesh inserts, silicone finger protection, and a longer gauntlet-style construction.
How does it compare with the OMP KS-X?The KS-X is positioned as a more premium competition glove with advanced ergonomic construction and current FIA 8877-2022 homologation. The KS-3 is better suited to drivers prioritizing simplicity, ventilation, and a lower price point.
Are the external seams noticeable while driving?The seams sit along the outside edges of the fingers to remove stitching from the interior. When the glove fits correctly, they should improve comfort without interfering with normal steering-wheel use.
What are finger forchettes?Forchettes are the narrow fabric panels between the fingers. They give each finger more defined shaping and help improve mobility, comfort, and fit.
Are these suitable for a child beginning kart racing?Yes, provided the correct junior size is available and the glove satisfies the event’s equipment rules. Select a size from actual hand measurements rather than the driver’s age.
What should I do if my child is between two sizes?Choose the size that permits full finger movement without large gaps at the fingertips. Avoid buying excessively large gloves for future growth because loose fabric can reduce grip and steering sensitivity.
Are the KS-3 Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Their breathable construction and external seams can work well for long sessions. Drivers who experience vibration-related hand fatigue may prefer a glove with additional palm damping.
Will the silicone grip work with suede and rubber steering wheels?The silicone treatment is designed to provide traction on common kart steering-wheel surfaces. The exact feel and level of tack can vary with the wheel material, moisture, wear, and cleanliness.
Can the KS-3 be used for sim racing?Yes. Its light construction and silicone grip can work well for sim racing, although it is designed primarily for karting.
How should the OMP KS-3 Gloves be washed?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, machine drying, and direct high heat that could damage the fabric, elasticity, or silicone grip.
How can I make the silicone palm last longer?Use the gloves mainly for driving and avoid handling abrasive bodywork, tools, fasteners, or rough surfaces. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them.

The Legendary Stilo FN Composite Helmet - Forever Ahead
For over 25 years, Stilo has lead the way in racing helmet innovation and the new ST6 line marks a bold new chapter. With input from Porsche and F1 teams, Stilo developed enhanced front- and top aerodynamics to deliver exceptional performance from the new Stilo ST6 line of helmets. Developed with the world's top drivers from Formula One and endurance racing, the ST6 reflects real-world needs at every level of auto racing.
The Stilo ST6 composite helmet is one of the lightest composite helmets on the market. It features enhanced airflow, visibility, and comfort while maintaining market-leading safety standards. Developed with input from the Aston Martin F1 team, every feature of the ST6 -- from the track-tested aerodynamics to the cutting edge dual-lock visor system -- is designed to give racers a performance edge.
The brand new Stilo ST6 helmet improves on the market-leading Stilo ST5 in every way, including the following:
10% lighter than the Stilo ST5
26% more airflow than the Stilo ST5
11% more visibility
More comfortable liner and cheek pads
More shell sizes for lower weight

Stilo ST6 FN Composite Auto Racing Helmet Features
Puro Tech: Stilo's proprietary manufacturing process eliminates the need for extra lacquers and additional coatings, minimizing the weight of your new helmet. With the Puro process, Stilo delivers the lightest and safest helmet on the market.
Added Shell Size: now offered in three shell sizes, the Stilo ST6 FN auto racing helmet gives you the lightest and smallest shell size possible for your head shape.
Increased Airflow Design: by utilizing key partnerships with Formula One teams, Stilo has redesigned the ST6 front ventilation to increase airflow while maximizing safety. The new Stilo ST6 also comes standard with ventilation holes in the top, channeling airflow through the EPS foam to reduce sweat and moisture, keeping you performing at your best.
Increased Downward Visibility: with input from professional drivers around the globe, Stilo has increased the downward field-of-view of the Stilo ST6, making harness fastening easier during driver changes and giving you greater situational awareness on the track.

What's Changing in SA2025 Auto Racing Helmets?
SA2025 helmets are here, and while the changes may not be groundbreaking, they represent an important evolution in motorsport safety. According to the Snell Memorial Foundation, the SA2025 standard is an evolutionary update from SA2020‚ not a complete overhaul. Unlike the M2025 motorcycle standard, which adds rotational impact testing, the SA2025 auto racing helmet standard does not include rotational force requirements.
Key SA2025 Helmet Safety Enhancements:
Increased Impact Protection: SA2025 helmets are required to handle slightly higher impact speeds and achieve lower maximum peak G-force thresholds across all head-form sizes.
Global FIA Alignment: These updated requirements bring the SA2025 standard into alignment with the new FIA 8859-2024 helmet safety regulation, creating more consistency across international motorsports.
In short: SA2025 helmets are designed to offer enhanced linear impact protection, making them the safest Snell-rated auto racing helmets to date. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend track day enthusiast, upgrading to an SA2025-certified helmet ensures compliance with future racing regulations and gives you peace of mind at speed.
