Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves | FIA Approved
$49.66
$159.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves deliver excellent steering feel, lightweight protection, and premium driving comfort at an accessible price. Developed with construction techniques found in higher-priced racing gloves, the Tech-1 Race v3 combines a bonded aramidic fiber shell, pre-curved fingers, strategically printed silicone grip, and a full-length protective gauntlet.
A minimal-seam design helps reduce bulk and pressure points, while the open cuff and 180-degree elasticated wrist allow quick entry without sacrificing a secure fit. Certified to FIA 8856-2018, the Tech-1 Race v3 provides current fire-resistant protection for competitive motorsport.
Lightweight Aramidic Fiber Construction
The glove’s main structure is made from flame-resistant aramidic fiber bonded for an effective balance of protection, flexibility, and comfort. Alpinestars combines lightweight materials with carefully selected construction methods to reduce overall glove weight without compromising coverage.
The lighter design allows the driver to move naturally between the steering wheel, shifter, paddle controls, and cockpit switches while helping reduce fatigue during extended sessions.
Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm
The Tech-1 Race v3 is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers and a contoured palm reduce the effort required to close the hand and help prevent material from bunching in high-contact areas.
This driving-specific shape promotes a more relaxed grip, allowing the driver to maintain control without unnecessary hand tension.
Comfort-Focused Finger Construction
Inside-stitched seams on all five fingers create a clean exterior and support dependable durability. The carefully shaped finger construction provides a close, responsive fit while maintaining the flexibility needed for steering and cockpit operation.
Minimal seam placement across the glove helps reduce unnecessary material and creates a smoother connection between the hand and steering wheel.
Extended Silicone Grip Printing
Silicone printing extends across the palm and fingers to improve steering-wheel traction and tactile control. The grip pattern is positioned in key contact areas to help the driver maintain a secure hold during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering corrections.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it provides dependable grip without the thickness of a separate palm layer.
Direct Steering Feel and Control
The lightweight palm and low-profile silicone print preserve sensitivity through the steering wheel. Drivers can feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in vehicle balance while maintaining consistent traction.
This combination of grip and feedback helps reduce the need to squeeze the wheel excessively, supporting improved comfort and precision over longer runs.
Single-Panel Full-Gauntlet Top
A full-gauntlet single-panel upper provides streamlined coverage from the hand through the extended cuff. Reducing the number of material transitions helps lower weight and creates a clean, close-fitting profile.
The extended cuff provides additional protection around the wrist and supports proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the Tech-1 Race v3 quick and easy to put on between sessions. A 180-degree elasticated wrist holds the glove securely once fitted without requiring a bulky external strap.
The design combines easy entry in the pits with stable retention while the driver is in the car.
Reduced-Weight Printed Graphics
External printed design details give the glove a distinctive Alpinestars appearance without adding the weight and stiffness associated with heavier embroidered overlays.
The low-profile graphics complement the glove’s lightweight construction while maintaining a professional competition look.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v3 Nomex Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. The fire-resistant aramidic construction and extended cuff meet modern requirements for heat and flame protection.
Drivers should verify the homologation requirements of their specific racing organization before competition.

Stilo ST5 GT ZERO Carbon Fiber Helmet | FIA 8860-2018
$3,850.00
$5,500.00
Stilo ST5 GT ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet
FIA 8860 Certification valid to 2033 for these ST5 GT Zero Carbon Fiber Helmets
The Stilo ST5 GT ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet is one of Stilo's most advanced ST5-generation full-face racing helmets, combining an exceptionally lightweight ZERO carbon fiber shell with FIA 8860-2018 protection, integrated accessory ports, excellent visibility, and a design developed specifically for serious closed-cockpit competition.
Built for professional racers and drivers who refuse to compromise on helmet weight or protection, the ST5 GT ZERO delivers the premium construction, comfort, and equipment integration that made the ST5 platform a favorite in GT, endurance, touring-car, and sports-car racing.
FIA 8860-2018 Advanced Helmet Protection
The ST5 GT ZERO is homologated to the FIA 8860-2018 advanced helmet standard. This high-level motorsport specification places demanding requirements on impact protection, shell strength, energy absorption, and penetration resistance.
For racers competing in high-speed professional motorsport, FIA 8860-2018 construction provides a significant step above conventional club-level helmet specifications.
Stilo ZERO Carbon Fiber Construction
The defining feature of the ST5 GT ZERO is its extremely lightweight ZERO carbon fiber shell. Stilo developed the ZERO construction for racers looking to reduce helmet mass as much as possible while retaining FIA 8860-level protection.
Lower helmet weight can reduce strain on the driver's head and neck during heavy braking, high lateral loads, long endurance stints, and extended race sessions.
ST5 GT ZERO Helmet Weight
Small shell: approximately 2.5 lbs. (1130 g) up to size 59 with intercom
Large shell: approximately 2.7 lbs. (1230 g) up to size 64 with intercom
These exceptionally low weights make the ST5 GT ZERO a premium option for racers who place a high priority on reducing helmet mass.
Purpose-Built for Closed-Cockpit Racing
The GT configuration is designed around the needs of drivers competing inside closed-cockpit race cars. Its aerodynamic shell, integrated accessory ports, ventilation capability, communication compatibility, and excellent eyeport visibility make it particularly well suited to GT, endurance, touring-car, prototype, and sports-car racing.
Dual Integrated Side Ports
One of the ST5 GT's most distinctive features is its pair of integrated side ports. Instead of attaching large external fittings to the helmet, Stilo incorporates the accessory connection points directly into the shell design.
The side ports can be configured for several types of driver equipment, allowing the helmet to be tailored to the car and racing application.
Side Port Accessory Options
Integrated communication electronics
Forced-air helmet systems
Driver hydration systems
Helmet Eject system integration
Radio and communication connections
When an accessory is not installed, the ports remain discreet and integrated into the helmet profile.
GT vs. Naked ST5 ZERO
The ST5 GT ZERO includes Stilo's multifunction side ports for electronics, air, hydration, and other accessories.
The ST5 N ZERO, often referred to as the Naked version, removes the side-port system for drivers who prefer the cleanest and simplest possible shell configuration.
Larger Eyeport for Improved Visibility
The ST5 platform features a taller and lower eyeport than previous-generation Stilo helmets, providing improved visibility without sacrificing the coverage expected from a professional full-face racing helmet.
The increased viewing area helps drivers see more of the cockpit, mirrors, gauges, apexes, surrounding traffic, and track environment.
Center Pinch-Clip Visor Latch
The ST5 visor uses Stilo's convenient center pinch-clip locking system. The centrally positioned latch is designed to make visor opening and closing easier, even while the driver is wearing racing gloves.
This placement also allows the visor to be operated naturally with either hand.
ST5 Visor Compatibility
The ST5 GT ZERO uses the standard Stilo ST5 visor family, giving racers access to a wide variety of shield options for different lighting and weather conditions.
Available ST5 shield options include clear, smoked, mirrored, colored, and other specialty configurations.
Eight Top Ventilation Openings
The ST5 GT ZERO includes eight top ventilation openings designed to help move cooling air through the helmet and reduce heat buildup during demanding sessions.
These openings can also be used with compatible Stilo ST5 Top Air systems when forced-air cooling is desired.
Forced-Air System Compatible
For hot closed-cockpit cars, the ST5 GT ZERO can be configured with a compatible forced-air system. The helmet's integrated design allows air-system hardware to be added without turning the helmet into a bulky collection of external fittings.
This makes the GT ZERO especially attractive for endurance racers and drivers competing in high-temperature cockpits.
Integrated Communication Capability
The ST5 GT platform was designed to accommodate professional racing communications. Compatible microphones, speakers, earbuds, radio connections, and other electronics can be integrated into the helmet depending on the driver's communication system.
This approach helps keep wiring organized while maintaining the comfort and fit of the interior.
Hydration System Compatible
The ST5 GT ZERO can also accommodate a compatible driver drinking system through its integrated accessory architecture.
For endurance racing and long sessions, hydration-system integration allows the driver to drink without removing safety equipment or relying on awkward external routing.
Eject System Compatible
The helmet can be configured for use with a compatible Eject helmet-removal system, providing teams and safety crews with another option when preparing the driver's complete safety package.
Factory HANS Anchors Included
The ST5 GT ZERO includes HANS/FHR post anchors, allowing the helmet to be used with compatible Head and Neck Restraint systems.
Having the anchors installed as part of the helmet package simplifies race preparation and ensures the helmet is ready for the restraint equipment commonly required in professional motorsport.
Contoured ST5 Cheek Pads
The ST5 interior uses redesigned, contoured cheek pads developed to improve comfort and helmet stability.
A proper racing helmet should remain firmly positioned on the head during braking, cornering, vibration, and aerodynamic loading without creating excessive localized pressure.

Why Choose the ST5 GT ZERO?
The ST5 GT ZERO is built for the racer who wants the integrated functionality of the ST5 GT platform without giving up the weight advantage of Stilo's ZERO carbon construction.
Its combination of FIA 8860-2018 protection, low shell weight, integrated communication and cooling options, excellent visibility, and HANS compatibility makes it especially well suited to demanding GT and endurance applications.
Getting the Correct Stilo Fit
A properly fitted racing helmet should feel snug and secure around the entire head with even pressure and no concentrated painful areas.
Measure around the widest part of the head using a flexible measuring tape, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and around the rear of the skull. Take two or three measurements and use the largest consistent measurement when selecting a helmet size.
Drivers moving from another helmet brand should select their Stilo size according to actual head circumference rather than assuming the same numerical size will fit identically.
Stilo Size 59 Fit Note
We have found that customers who normally wear a size 59 in other helmet brands are often more comfortable in a Stilo size 60, which moves the driver into the larger shell. Please measure carefully and order accordingly.

Sparco Lap Nomex Gloves
$195.00
Sparco Lap Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Lap Nomex Racing Gloves combine premium racing features with an accessible price point. Designed for competitive auto racing, the Lap delivers a comfortable pre-curved fit, strong steering-wheel grip, and certified fire-resistant protection.
A unique elastic cuff system provides secure racing-suit overlap without the bulk of a traditional wrist closure. Hybrid finger stitching places external seams along the palm side of the fingers for comfort, while internally stitched upper sections help protect the seams from wear.
The anatomically shaped palm follows the natural contour of the hand, while smooth printed silicone provides dependable grip, steering sensitivity, and dexterity. The Sparco Lap is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards.
Unique Elastic Cuff System
The Sparco Lap features an elastic cuff designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit around the wrist. The streamlined construction allows the glove to overlap properly with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit while reducing unnecessary bulk.
This cuff design also makes the gloves easy to put on and remove between sessions. It was developed to coordinate particularly well with the Sparco Competition racing suit.
Pre-Curved Hybrid Finger Construction
The fingers feature a pre-curved shape that follows the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. This reduces resistance through the fingers and helps the driver maintain a relaxed grip during long racing sessions.
Sparco uses a hybrid stitching design that combines external and internal seams. The palm side of each finger uses external stitching to move seam pressure away from the inside of the hand. The upper side uses traditional internal stitching to help protect the seams from abrasion and wear.
External Palm-Side Seams
External seams along the palm side of the fingers create a smoother interior surface. This helps reduce pressure points while gripping the steering wheel and improves comfort during extended driving sessions.
The construction also provides a close, responsive feel when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Internally Stitched Upper Fingers
The upper sections of the fingers use internal stitching to help protect the seams from direct contact and abrasion. This provides additional durability without sacrificing the comfort benefits of external seams along the palm side.
The result is a balanced construction that delivers both comfort and dependable resistance to repeated racing use.
Anatomically Shaped Palm
The Sparco Lap has an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. This shape helps keep the glove properly positioned while gripping the steering wheel and reduces excess material that could interfere with steering feedback.
The ergonomic design improves dexterity and helps the driver maintain precise control during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering inputs.
Smooth High-Grip Silicone Palm
Smooth silicone grip material is printed directly onto the palm to improve traction against the steering wheel. The low-profile surface provides dependable grip without adding unnecessary thickness between the driver's hands and the wheel.
Improved palm traction allows the driver to maintain control with less gripping pressure, which can help reduce hand fatigue during endurance races and extended track sessions.
FIA and SFI-Approved Protection
The Sparco Lap Nomex Racing Gloves are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards. These certifications make them suitable for many professional, amateur, club-level, endurance, rally, and road-racing applications.
Drivers should confirm the required glove certification with their racing organization or sanctioning body before competition.

Sparco X-Light Racing Shoes
The lightweight X-Light shoe was developed using feedback from Sparco’s professional drivers. This development program created some unique features for the new shoe. The X-light does not have a traditional tongue, it uses a durable fabric called Jaquard that acts as an upper stretch panel. This unique upper gives ultimate comfort as the shoe can stretch and breath. The same Jaquard material is on the backside of the shoe where it allows the Achilles unrestricted movement. The X-Light has the next generation sole made in pure lightweight rubber which enhances the pedal feel and is also anti-static, fuel and oil resistant. The mid-boot design features a full ultra-soft calf skin leather upper with perforated vents. The X-Light has a pre-formed cushioned insole.
The X-Light is available in four colors: White/Red, Blue/White, Grey/Orange and Black in European sizes 37-48.
The Sparco X-Light is FIA approved.

Sparco Prime-R Racing Shoes
The Sparco Prime-R Racing Shoes deliver an ultralight design, responsive pedal feedback, and premium comfort for demanding competitive drivers. Developed for high-level motorsports, the Prime-R weighs approximately 240 grams in size 42, helping reduce unnecessary weight without compromising support or protection.
The soft kangaroo leather upper provides a lightweight and flexible fit that moves naturally with the driver’s foot. Strategically placed perforations, a breathable lining, and an ultra-breathable padded tongue help control heat and perspiration during long races and demanding track sessions.
A thin rubber outsole with differentiated grip textures provides direct pedal feedback while maintaining dependable traction. The sole is also designed to resist fuel and oil and features optimized stiffness for race cars that require high brake-pedal pressure.
Lightweight Kangaroo Leather Construction
The Prime-R’s kangaroo leather upper provides an excellent combination of low weight, flexibility, and durability. Fully inkjet-printed graphics reduce the need for heavier decorative materials while creating the shoe’s distinctive professional appearance.
Breathable Racing Comfort
Perforations throughout the upper promote airflow around the foot. An anti-perspiration breathable lining and padded fabric tongue provide additional comfort during sprint races, endurance events, qualifying sessions, and extended track use.
Secure Lace and Ankle Closure
Ultralight flat laces provide a close, adjustable fit, while the ultra-grip hook-and-loop ankle strap secures both the laces and ankle. This helps reduce unwanted movement and keeps the closure system safely contained while driving.
Responsive Racing Sole
The thin rubber sole is engineered to provide excellent pedal sensitivity, allowing the driver to better feel brake pressure, throttle position, and pedal movement. Differentiated grip textures provide traction where it is needed without adding unnecessary bulk.

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.
