$199.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Nomex Racing Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Nomex Racing Gloves are premium fire-resistant driving gloves engineered for exceptional comfort, steering-wheel feel, and protection. Designed for serious competitors, the Tech-1 ZX v2 combines strategically positioned seams, a lightweight aramidic construction, and advanced palm grip technology.
Internal stitching around the thumb improves sensitivity when operating steering-wheel buttons and cockpit controls, while externally stitched finger seams reduce pressure points and provide a smooth, comfortable fit during long races.
Premium Nomex Racing Glove Construction
The Tech-1 ZX v2 features a flame-resistant aramidic fiber main construction with a bonded aramidic lining. This lightweight assembly helps regulate temperature while maintaining the flexibility and sensitivity required for precise driving.
Alpinestars uses lightweight printed graphics instead of heavier sewn-on details, helping reduce overall glove weight without sacrificing its professional appearance.
Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Glove Features
FIA 8856-2018 homologated for motorsport competition
Flame-resistant aramidic fiber main construction
Bonded aramidic lining for temperature control and comfort
Internal thumb seam for improved control sensitivity
External finger seams to reduce pressure points
Ergonomic chassis with pre-curved fingers
Strategically positioned silicone grip on the palm and fingers
Latex-treated inner palm to help reduce micro-slipping
Outer grip zones for precise cockpit control
Touchscreen-compatible thumb and index fingertips
Open-cuff design with a 180-degree elasticated wrist
Extended cuff length for increased fire and heat protection
Lightweight printed graphics
Advanced Palm Grip and Control
The inner palm is treated with latex to reduce small movements between the hand and glove while gripping the steering wheel. This helps provide a more secure and consistent connection during high-intensity driving.
Ergonomically positioned silicone grip sections across the palm and fingers improve traction without making the glove feel overly stiff. Additional outer grip zones provide improved control when operating switches, paddles, and other cockpit equipment.
Internal and External Seam Construction
The Tech-1 ZX v2 uses internal stitching around the thumb to improve tactile feedback when operating multiple push-buttons commonly found on modern racing steering wheels.
The four fingers use external seams that move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This reduces pressure points and improves comfort, especially during endurance racing and extended track sessions.
Pre-Curved Ergonomic Fit
The ergonomic chassis and pre-curved fingers follow the natural position of the hands while holding a steering wheel. This helps reduce material bunching and driver fatigue while maintaining a secure and responsive fit.
An open-cuff design with a 180-degree elasticated wrist makes the gloves easier to put on and remove while keeping them securely positioned during competition.
FIA 8856-2018 Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v2 Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard. The extended cuff provides increased wrist and forearm coverage to help protect against fire and heat when worn with an approved racing suit.
Touchscreen Compatibility
Touch-sensitive material on the thumb and index fingertips allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen devices, including mobile timing applications and data acquisition equipment, without removing their gloves.

Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes | SFI 3.3/5
$169.00
Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes
The Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes are purpose-built for pit crews, mechanics, track workers, and racers who need durable footwear with greater cushioning and protection than a traditional thin-soled racing shoe. Their supportive high-top construction, reinforced wear areas, and high-grip rubber outsole make them well suited for fast-paced pit-lane work, off-road racing, and other demanding motorsports environments.
The upper combines soft suede with durable leather reinforcement panels around the toe box and heel. Perforated sections in the tongue and heel promote airflow, while the padded collar and anatomical insole provide the support needed for long days in the garage, paddock, or pit lane.
An internal lacing system helps keep the laces contained and protected from snagging on tools, vehicle components, or equipment. A wide adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap adds stability and helps maintain a secure fit during quick movements and physically demanding work.
Designed for Pit Crew and Over-the-Wall Use
The Sparco Pit Stop was specifically developed for motorsports crew members who need secure footing, ankle support, and added protection while working around race vehicles. Its durable construction is suitable for tire changes, fueling support, mechanical work, vehicle recovery, and other trackside responsibilities.
Durable Suede Upper
The upper is constructed from suede for a comfortable balance of flexibility, support, and abrasion resistance. The material allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot while maintaining the durability needed for regular motorsports use.
Reinforced Leather Toe and Heel Panels
Leather panels reinforce the toe box and heel, two areas that commonly experience wear during kneeling, walking, climbing, and working around vehicles. The reinforced construction improves durability and provides additional protection against contact with tools and equipment.
Protective Toe-Cap Design
The rubber sole extends upward around the front of the shoe to create a protective toe cap. This raised section helps shield the toe area when kneeling beside the vehicle or working close to wheels, jacks, bodywork, and other pit equipment.
Breathable Perforated Construction
Perforations in the tongue and heel encourage airflow around the foot. This targeted ventilation helps reduce heat buildup during long track days, warm-weather events, and extended periods of physical activity.
Internal Lacing System
The internal laces provide an adjustable fit while keeping most of the closure system protected beneath the upper. Containing the laces helps reduce the chance of snagging while moving quickly or working in confined areas around the race car.
Padded Collar and Adjustable Ankle Strap
Extra padding around the collar supports the ankle and improves comfort. A wide hook-and-loop strap allows the upper fit to be adjusted and helps stabilize the foot during quick movements, lifting, kneeling, and mechanical work.
Pre-Shaped Anatomical Insole
A pre-shaped cushioned insole supports the natural contours of the foot and helps distribute pressure more evenly. The added cushioning reduces fatigue during long periods of standing, walking, or working throughout the paddock.
High-Grip Rubber Outsole
The thicker rubber outsole is designed to provide dependable traction on pit-lane, garage, paddock, and off-road surfaces. Its durable construction offers more cushioning and walking support than the ultra-thin soles typically used on conventional driver racing shoes.
Anti-Static and Fluid-Resistant Sole
The outsole features anti-static properties and is resistant to fuel and oil. These characteristics make the Pit Stop Crew Shoes suitable for professional motorsports environments where contact with automotive fluids and equipment is common.

Are the Sparco Pit Stop Shoes suitable for off-road racing?
Yes. Their thicker outsole, reinforced construction, ankle support, and protective toe design make them a strong option for off-road racing and other applications involving rough or uneven surfaces.
What is the benefit of the internal lacing system?
The internal laces help keep the closure system contained and reduce the risk of snagging on tools, bodywork, suspension parts, or other equipment.
What does the ankle strap do?
The adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap stabilizes the upper foot and ankle. It also helps keep the shoe securely positioned during running, kneeling, lifting, and rapid pit-lane movements.
Do the Sparco Pit Stop Shoes provide toe protection?
Yes. Leather reinforcement protects the toe box, while the rubber outsole wraps upward to create a protective toe cap for added coverage when kneeling or working close to the vehicle.
Are the Sparco Pit Stop Shoes breathable?

Are these shoes comfortable for long track days?
Yes. The padded collar, pre-shaped anatomical insole, thicker outsole, and supportive high-top design provide greater walking and standing comfort than many traditional thin-soled racing shoes.
How should Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes fit?
The shoes should fit securely without painful pressure points or restricted circulation. The heel should remain stable, and the ankle strap should provide support without limiting natural movement.
How should the Sparco Pit Stop Crew Shoes be cleaned?
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after use. Remove dirt with a soft suede brush or damp cloth, keep them away from direct heat, and use cleaning products intended for suede and leather materials.
Durable Protection for the Pit Lane and Beyond

Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Gloves
$139.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Racing Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Nomex Gloves are engineered to deliver lightweight protection, direct steering feedback, and a close anatomical fit. A newly developed single-panel upper and reduced-material finger construction help minimize bulk without sacrificing the coverage required for competitive motorsport.
The Tech-1 Start v4 is built around the way a driver naturally holds the steering wheel. Box-cut fingertips, strategically printed silicone grip zones, and a straight extended cuff work together to improve comfort, control, and ease of entry.
Certified to the SFI 3.2/5A standard, these gloves are a strong choice for drivers who want dependable protection and a clean, performance-focused design.
Reduced-Material Finger Design
The Tech-1 Start v4 uses an innovative finger construction designed to reduce excess fabric around the hand. Removing unnecessary material helps the glove feel lighter and improves sensitivity when operating the steering wheel, shifter, switches, and other cockpit controls.
The streamlined construction also reduces bunching inside confined cockpits, where precise hand movement and consistent steering feel are especially important.
Single-Panel Upper Construction
A single upper panel creates a smoother, more uniform fit across the back of the hand. Fewer material transitions help reduce pressure points and allow the glove to move naturally as the fingers flex around the steering wheel.
This simplified construction also contributes to the glove’s low overall weight and clean exterior appearance.
Box-Cut Fingertips
The ring and middle fingers use a box-cut fingertip design without traditional fourchettes. This construction eliminates unnecessary side panels in key areas and creates a more anatomical shape around the fingertips.
The result is a closer fit with less material between the driver and the controls, helping improve dexterity in tight cockpit environments.
Silicone-Printed Palm Grip
Ergonomically positioned silicone zones are printed across the palm to improve steering-wheel traction. The grip pattern is placed in the areas that experience the greatest contact during cornering, braking, and rapid steering inputs.
The silicone surface provides control without adding a thick layer between the hand and the wheel, preserving tactile feedback and helping the driver maintain a relaxed grip.
Straight Extended Cuff
The Tech-1 Start v4 features a close-fitting, straight extended cuff that provides additional wrist coverage and dependable overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve.
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place while keeping the entry opening flexible enough for quick on-and-off use between sessions.
Lightweight Cockpit-Focused Fit
Every major design feature is intended to reduce unnecessary weight and bulk. The single-panel upper, compact finger construction, and low-profile grip zones create a glove that feels responsive without becoming restrictive.
This close fit is especially beneficial for drivers working with small steering wheels, paddle shifters, radio controls, data-system buttons, and other tightly packaged cockpit equipment.
SFI 3.2/5A Certified Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v4 Gloves are certified to the SFI 3.2/5A standard. This certification makes them suitable for many racing organizations that require approved fire-resistant driver gloves.
Drivers should confirm the exact certification requirements of their sanctioning body before competition.

Single-panel upper reduces seams and excess material

Why the Tech-1 Start v4 Feels Different
Many entry-level racing gloves rely on traditional multi-panel finger construction that can create extra material around the fingertips. The Tech-1 Start v4 takes a different approach by simplifying the upper and reshaping the fingers around the driver’s natural hand position.
This design helps the glove feel lighter, cleaner, and more connected to the steering wheel. The silicone palm adds traction where it is needed, while the extended cuff and elasticated wrist keep the glove securely positioned throughout a session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the single-panel upper?The single-panel design reduces seams, bulk, and material transitions across the back of the hand, creating a smoother and lighter fit.
What does box-cut fingertip construction mean?The ring and middle fingers are shaped without traditional side-panel fourchettes, reducing excess material and improving the anatomical fit.
Do the gloves have silicone grip?Yes. Silicone zones are printed across the palm in areas selected to improve steering-wheel traction and control.
Are the Tech-1 Start v4 Gloves SFI approved?Yes. They are certified to the SFI 3.2/5A standard.
How should these gloves fit?They should fit closely around the fingers and palm without restricting movement. There should be minimal excess material at the fingertips.
Do the gloves use a wrist strap?No. The extended cuff uses an elasticated wrist to provide a secure fit without a separate closure strap.
Are these gloves designed for small cockpits?Yes. Their reduced-material finger construction and close anatomical fit are specifically beneficial in confined cockpit environments.
Will the silicone palm reduce steering feel?The silicone zones are low profile and strategically positioned to add grip while preserving tactile feedback through the steering wheel.
