OMP Racing OMP KS-X Kart Racing Gloves | FIA 8877-2022 $179.00
OMP KS-X Kart Racing Gloves The OMP KS-X Kart Racing Gloves are premium competition gloves developed for racers who demand precise steering feedback, dependable grip, and lasting comfort. Approved to the FIA 8877-2022 karting standard, the KS-X combines a lightweight stretch construction with external seams, pre-curved fingers, and strategically positioned silicone grip. Breathable mesh inserts help manage heat during demanding sessions, while the elasticated upper follows the shape of the hand for a close, responsive fit. The result is a high-performance kart glove designed to keep the driver connected to the steering wheel through rapid corrections, heavy steering loads, and extended races. Precision Grip for Competitive Karting Direct steering feedback is essential in kart racing, where every chassis movement is transmitted through the wheel. Silicone printing across the palm creates a secure contact surface that helps prevent unwanted hand movement during braking, cornering, and quick steering corrections. The low-profile grip pattern improves traction without placing a thick reinforcement layer between the driver and steering wheel. This helps preserve the detailed feedback needed to understand front-tire grip and chassis behavior. Pre-Curved Ergonomic Construction The KS-X uses a pre-curved shape that follows the natural position of the fingers around a kart steering wheel. This design reduces material bunching and minimizes the effort required to keep the hands closed during a race. By supporting a more natural hand position, the glove can help reduce fatigue and improve dexterity during long sessions, endurance events, and repeated on-track runs. External Seams for a Smoother Interior External finger seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother contact surface around the fingers and helps reduce pressure points during extended use. The external-seam construction also allows the glove to fit more closely around the hand, improving sensitivity and reducing distractions while driving. Stretch Fabric Upper Elasticated stretch fabric across the upper glove conforms closely to the hand while allowing unrestricted movement. The flexible construction supports repeated steering inputs without creating unnecessary stiffness or resistance. Its close-fitting design helps prevent excess material from shifting around the fingers, allowing the driver to maintain consistent control throughout each session. Breathable Mesh Inserts Strategically positioned mesh panels improve airflow and help reduce heat buildup inside the glove. This added ventilation is especially beneficial during warm-weather events and physically demanding races. The breathable construction helps maintain comfort without compromising the glove’s close fit or steering-wheel sensitivity. Internal Anti-Slip Silicone Points Silicone points positioned inside the glove help reduce movement between the driver’s hand and the glove lining. This creates a more stable fit when perspiration increases during intense competition. Reducing internal slipping allows the glove and hand to move together more consistently, helping preserve steering accuracy and tactile response. Elasticated Wristband An elastic wristband keeps the KS-X securely positioned without requiring a bulky adjustment strap. The flexible opening allows quick entry while creating a snug fit around the wrist. This streamlined closure helps prevent the glove from shifting and keeps the driver focused on the track rather than readjusting equipment. FIA 8877-2022 Karting Approval The OMP KS-X is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 standard for karting apparel. This approval makes it suitable for many national and international karting competitions requiring current FIA-compliant gloves. Drivers should confirm the exact equipment regulations of their championship, sanctioning organization, or event before competition.

OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Glove in blue, cyan, and black facing right
OMP Racing OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Gloves $59.00
OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Gloves The OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Gloves combine lightweight steering feel, dependable silicone grip, and distinctive printed graphics in an accessible karting glove for youth and adult drivers. Designed for competitive and recreational karting, the KS-4 ART helps drivers maintain a secure connection with the steering wheel without the bulk of a heavily padded palm. Internal seams create a clean exterior profile, while the lightweight palm improves responsiveness across changing grip conditions. A straight-cut wrist with elastic retention keeps the glove securely positioned, making the KS-4 ART a practical choice for practice sessions, club competition, rental karting, and drivers purchasing their first dedicated pair of kart gloves. Lightweight Palm for Responsive Steering Feel The KS-4 ART uses a lightweight palm construction that minimizes unnecessary material between the driver and steering wheel. This helps preserve the feedback needed to recognize changes in steering load, front-tire grip, and chassis movement. The streamlined design is particularly well suited to racers who prefer direct steering sensitivity rather than thick cushioning or substantial vibration-damping material. Silicone-Rubber Ultragrip Palm A silicone-rubber ultragrip pattern increases traction against the steering wheel. The grippy surface helps keep the hands securely positioned during braking, cornering, and rapid changes of direction. Improved traction can also reduce the amount of gripping force needed to control the wheel, helping the driver maintain a more relaxed hand position during longer sessions. Internal Seam Construction The KS-4 ART uses internal seams to create a smooth, streamlined exterior. This construction keeps the outside edges of the fingers clean and reduces exposed stitching that could contact the steering wheel. Correct sizing is important with internally stitched gloves. The glove should fit closely without allowing the seams to press uncomfortably against the fingertips or sides of the fingers. Close, Flexible Karting Fit The glove is designed to follow the shape and movement of the hand while steering. A close fit helps prevent loose fabric from shifting independently of the fingers or bunching between the palm and wheel. The fingertips should be filled without painful pressure, and the driver should be able to open and close the hand freely before using the gloves on track. Straight Wrist with Elastic Closure A straight-cut wrist gives the KS-4 ART a clean, simple opening. Integrated elastic helps keep the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop strap. The flexible wrist also makes the gloves quick to put on and remove between sessions while maintaining dependable retention once they are in place. Three Printed Graphic Designs The KS-4 ART is offered in three printed graphic designs that give the glove a more distinctive appearance than a basic solid-color karting glove. The graphic treatment adds visual impact without relying on thick decorative overlays. Drivers can choose a design that coordinates with their karting suit, helmet, kart graphics, or team colors. Adult and Youth Karting Sizes The KS-4 ART is available in both adult and children’s sizes. Dedicated smaller sizes provide young drivers with a closer and more functional fit than attempting to use an oversized adult glove. Glove size should be selected from the driver’s actual hand measurement rather than age alone, since palm width and finger length can vary considerably among junior racers. OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Glove Features Lightweight karting-glove construction Responsive palm preserves steering-wheel feedback Silicone-rubber ultragrip palm improves control Internal seams create a clean exterior profile Close fit reduces loose material and bunching Straight-cut wrist provides a streamlined opening Elastic wrist closure keeps the glove securely positioned Available in three printed graphic designs Offered in adult and children’s sizes Designed for competitive and recreational karting OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Glove Specifications Manufacturer: OMP Model: KS-4 ART Product Type: Kart Racing Gloves Product Code: KB0-2757-A01 Palm: Lightweight Silicone-Rubber Ultragrip Palm Seam Construction: Internal Wrist: Straight Cut with Elastic Closure Graphics: Three Printed Designs Adult Sizes: XXS through XL Children’s Sizes: 4, 5, and 6 Intended Use: Kart Racing How the KS-4 ART Differs from the Standard KS-4 The KS-4 ART uses a silicone-rubber ultragrip palm and a selection of printed graphic designs. The standard KS-4 is listed with a suede-leather palm and a simpler silicone-printed design on the back of the glove. Drivers seeking a more modern appearance and a more responsive silicone grip surface may prefer the KS-4 ART. Those wanting a traditional suede palm may favor the standard KS-4. How the KS-4 ART Compares with the OMP KS-2 ART The KS-4 ART uses internal seams and is positioned as a simpler, value-focused karting glove. The KS-2 ART uses external seams and a lightweight stretch-polyester construction intended to provide a more performance-oriented fit. Drivers who are sensitive to stitching inside the fingers may prefer the externally stitched KS-2 ART. Racers prioritizing affordability, lightweight grip, and bold graphics may find the KS-4 ART better suited to their needs. Who Should Choose the OMP KS-4 ART? The KS-4 ART is a strong option for junior racers, rental-kart drivers, club competitors, and recreational karters ready to move beyond general-purpose gloves. Its lightweight palm and silicone grip also make it useful for practice sessions where direct steering feel is important. Drivers entering a championship with mandatory glove homologation should confirm the event rules before purchasing, since OMP does not list FIA 8877-2022 approval for this model. OMP KS-4 ART Kart Racing Gloves Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Are the OMP KS-4 ART Gloves FIA 8877-2022 approved?OMP does not list FIA 8877-2022 homologation for the KS-4 ART. Drivers competing in events with mandatory certified gloves should confirm eligibility with their championship before ordering. Are these fire-resistant gloves for automobile racing?No fire-resistant automobile-racing approval is listed. The KS-4 ART is a karting glove and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved Nomex gloves when flame-resistant equipment is required. Does the KS-4 ART have a suede palm?No. The official KS-4 ART specification identifies a silicone-rubber ultragrip palm. The standard OMP KS-4 is the related model listed with a suede-leather palm. Are the seams inside or outside the fingers?The KS-4 ART uses internal seams. Drivers who strongly prefer stitching outside the fingers should consider an externally stitched model such as the OMP KS-2 ART. Will the internal seams be uncomfortable?They should not cause discomfort when the glove is correctly sized. A glove that is too short or narrow may press the seams against the fingertips and finger sides. Is the KS-4 ART heavily padded?No. Its lightweight palm emphasizes steering response and sensitivity rather than substantial vibration damping. How does the ultragrip palm feel on a suede steering wheel?The silicone-rubber pattern creates a secure, tacky connection with common kart steering-wheel materials. The exact grip level will vary with wheel condition, cleanliness, and moisture. Will the grip make hand repositioning difficult?The palm is designed to resist slipping, so drivers may need to lift the hand slightly rather than drag it across the steering wheel during repositioning. Are dedicated children’s sizes available?Yes. OMP lists children’s sizes 4, 5, and 6 in addition to adult sizes XXS through XL. Should I buy a larger youth size so my child can grow into it?Oversized gloves can leave loose material at the fingertips and reduce steering control. Choose the size that fits correctly now rather than allowing substantial room for growth. How should the KS-4 ART fit?The glove should fit closely around the palm and fingers without restricting circulation or movement. There should be little empty space at the fingertips. Is the KS-4 ART suitable for indoor rental karting?Yes. Its lightweight construction, silicone grip, and elastic wrist make it a practical choice for indoor and outdoor recreational karting. Can the KS-4 ART be used for sim racing?Yes. The low-profile palm and silicone grip can provide good wheel control for sim racing, although the glove is designed primarily for karting. How should the gloves be cleaned?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid bleach, machine drying, radiators, and direct high heat. How can I prevent the silicone palm from wearing prematurely?Use the gloves mainly for driving and avoid handling rough bodywork, tools, chains, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces while wearing them.

OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Glove in orange and black facing right
OMP Racing OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves | CIK-FIA Level 2 $119.00
OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves The OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Gloves combine vivid sublimated graphics with the steering feel, flexibility, and comfort required for competitive karting. Lightweight stretch materials allow the gloves to follow the movement of the hands, while silicone printing across the palms and fingers provides dependable traction on the steering wheel. A pre-curved finger shape supports the natural driving position, and externally stitched seams reduce pressure against the fingers during long sessions. The KS-2 ART is an appealing choice for racers who want proven OMP karting performance with a more distinctive visual design. CIK-FIA Level 2 Karting Homologation The OMP KS-2 ART is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 2 karting standard. This certification has been widely accepted in club, regional, national, and international karting competition. Some championships have introduced newer FIA 8877-2022 equipment requirements. Drivers should confirm the currently accepted homologation with their series, track, or sanctioning organization before purchasing these gloves for regulated competition. Silicone Grip Across the Palm and Fingers Silicone printing is positioned across the palm and fingers to improve traction against the steering wheel. The grip pattern helps keep the hands securely positioned during heavy steering loads, rapid direction changes, braking, and cornering. Because the silicone is applied as a low-profile print, it improves grip without creating a thick layer between the driver and wheel. This preserves the steering feedback needed to recognize changes in front-tire grip and chassis balance. Pre-Curved Finger Construction The fingers are shaped around the position the hands naturally assume while holding a kart steering wheel. This pre-curved design reduces material bunching through the palm and finger joints. Reducing resistance when closing the hand can help the driver maintain a secure grip with less effort, improving comfort during qualifying sessions, long races, and repeated track sessions. External Seams for Long-Session Comfort Externally stitched finger seams place the bulk of the stitching outside the glove rather than against the driver’s fingers. This creates a smoother internal surface and reduces the likelihood of pressure points or irritation. The external-seam construction is especially beneficial for racers who find that conventional internally stitched gloves become uncomfortable during extended use. Lightweight Stretch-Fabric Chassis The elasticated upper material conforms closely to the hand while allowing natural finger and wrist movement. Its close fit helps prevent loose material from shifting during quick steering corrections. The lightweight construction also preserves dexterity and keeps the glove from feeling unnecessarily bulky around the steering wheel. Breathable Construction for Warm Conditions Breathable fabric helps promote airflow and manage heat inside the glove during physically demanding sessions. This makes the KS-2 ART particularly useful for warm-weather karting and indoor tracks where cockpit temperatures can rise quickly. The stretch material also helps moisture escape more effectively than a heavier, less flexible glove construction. Sublimated ART Graphics The ART version features graphics applied through a sublimation process that integrates the design into the fabric. Unlike a heavy surface graphic, the sublimated treatment does not add noticeable thickness or stiffness to the glove. This process also helps the design resist cracking and peeling while delivering the bright colors and detailed patterns that distinguish the KS-2 ART from the standard KS-2. OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Glove Features CIK-FIA Level 2 karting homologation Silicone-printed grip across the palm and fingers Low-profile grip preserves steering-wheel feedback Pre-curved fingers support a natural driving position External seams reduce pressure against the fingers Lightweight elasticated upper construction Breathable fabric helps manage heat and moisture Close fit improves dexterity and steering sensitivity Sublimated ART graphics resist cracking and peeling Designed for competitive kart racing OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Glove Specifications Manufacturer: OMP Model: KS-2 ART Product Type: Kart Racing Gloves Upper Construction: Lightweight Elasticated Fabric Palm Grip: Silicone Print Finger Grip: Silicone Print Finger Shape: Pre-Curved Seam Construction: External Graphics: Sublimated ART Design Homologation: CIK-FIA Level 2 How the KS-2 ART Differs from the Standard KS-2 The primary difference is the graphic treatment. The KS-2 ART uses detailed sublimated designs that give the glove a more distinctive appearance while retaining the lightweight construction, silicone grip, pre-curved shape, and external seams associated with the KS-2 platform. Drivers choosing between the two models can generally base their decision on preferred styling, color availability, sizing availability, and price rather than expecting a dramatically different steering feel. Who Should Choose the OMP KS-2 ART? The KS-2 ART is well suited to racers who prioritize direct steering feedback and external-seam comfort but also want a glove with more expressive graphics. Its lightweight construction makes it particularly attractive for sprint racing and warm-weather competition. Racers entering championships with newer equipment regulations should verify whether CIK-FIA Level 2 gloves remain accepted or whether FIA 8877-2022 homologation is required. OMP KS-2 ART Kart Racing Glove Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Is CIK-FIA Level 2 still accepted by my karting series?Acceptance varies by championship and event. Some organizations continue to allow CIK-FIA Level 2 gloves, while others may require equipment meeting the newer FIA 8877-2022 standard. Check the current technical regulations before ordering. What is the difference between the KS-2 ART and regular KS-2?The ART version is distinguished primarily by its sublimated graphic designs. It retains the lightweight stretch construction, silicone grip, external seams, and pre-curved shape associated with the KS-2 platform. Will the printed graphics crack or peel?The graphics are sublimated into the fabric rather than applied as a thick surface layer. This makes them less likely to crack or peel during normal use. Does the silicone cover both the palm and fingers?Yes. Silicone printing extends across the palm and fingers to improve traction during steering and hand repositioning. Are the KS-2 ART Gloves heavily padded?No. They emphasize lightweight construction and direct steering feedback rather than thick vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting substantial palm cushioning may prefer a model designed specifically for vibration absorption. Are these gloves a good choice for hot-weather karting?Yes. Their lightweight stretch fabric and breathable construction help manage heat during warm outdoor events and indoor karting sessions. Do external seams make the gloves fit wider?External seams reduce bulk inside the fingers, but the gloves are still intended to fit closely. Drivers with wider hands should use their hand measurement rather than automatically selecting their usual casual-glove size. What should I do when my measurement falls between two sizes?A racer who prefers a very close competition fit may favor the smaller size, provided finger movement is not restricted. Drivers with broader hands or longer fingers may be more comfortable in the larger size. Can younger drivers wear the KS-2 ART?That depends on the available size range. Compare the driver’s hand measurement with the OMP chart rather than selecting by age alone, since hand proportions vary considerably among youth racers. How can I prevent the silicone grip from wearing prematurely?Avoid pulling the gloves across rough bodywork, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Use them primarily for driving and allow them to air dry fully after each session. Can the OMP KS-2 ART be used for sim racing?Yes, but it is designed and priced as a competition karting glove. Its lightweight feel, external seams, and silicone palm can provide good sim-racing control, though homologation is unnecessary for that use. How should the KS-2 ART Gloves fit at the fingertips?The fingertips should be filled without painful pressure or curled fingers. Excess empty material can reduce steering sensitivity and may allow the glove to shift during aggressive inputs.

OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Glove in black and grey facing right
OMP Racing OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves | CIK-FIA Level 2 from $99.00
OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves The OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Gloves are performance-focused karting gloves designed to deliver secure steering-wheel grip, unrestricted hand movement, and lasting comfort. A silicone-rubber palm provides dependable traction, while external seams keep bulky stitching away from the fingers for a smoother interior feel. Flexible bellows at the knuckles and fingers allow the glove to move naturally through rapid steering corrections and heavy steering loads. Breathable mesh inserts help manage heat, and the slanted wrist with an elastic band creates a secure fit without making the glove difficult to put on. Silicone-Rubber Grip for Precise Steering Control The KS-2R uses silicone rubber across the palm to improve traction against the kart steering wheel. This high-grip surface helps reduce unwanted hand movement during braking, cornering, and aggressive changes of direction. Improved traction also allows the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively. A more relaxed grip can reduce strain in the hands and forearms during long races or repeated sessions. External Seams Reduce Finger Pressure The fingers use external stitching to move the seam bulk away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother contact surface around the fingers and reduces the pressure points that can develop with conventional internal seams. External seams are particularly useful during extended karting sessions, where repeated steering movement can cause internal stitching to rub against the fingers. Articulated Knuckle and Finger Bellows Flexible bellows are positioned around the knuckles and fingers to improve freedom of movement. These stretch sections allow the glove to flex naturally as the driver grips, releases, and repositions the hands on the steering wheel. The articulated construction reduces resistance through the finger joints, supporting quick steering inputs without making the glove feel stiff or restrictive. Breathable Mesh Inserts Mesh fabric inserts improve airflow and help reduce heat buildup inside the glove. This ventilation is valuable during warm outdoor races, indoor karting events, and physically demanding sessions where perspiration can affect comfort and grip. The breathable sections are strategically positioned to improve cooling while maintaining the glove’s close performance fit. Silicone Finger Protection Additional silicone-rubber sections on the fingers provide targeted protection and durability in areas exposed to frequent steering-wheel contact. These sections also contribute to grip when the driver wraps the fingers firmly around the wheel. The low-profile treatment adds useful reinforcement without the bulk of a heavy padded layer. Slanted Wrist with Elastic Retention The KS-2R uses a slanted wrist opening that follows the natural angle between the hand and forearm. This shape makes the glove easier to put on and creates a more ergonomic fit around the wrist. An elastic band helps keep the glove securely positioned throughout the session without requiring a bulky external adjustment strap. Long Gauntlet Coverage The extended gauntlet provides additional wrist coverage and creates a clean overlap with compatible karting-suit sleeves. This design helps keep the glove securely positioned during repeated hand and wrist movement. The longer cuff also gives the KS-2R a professional competition appearance while supporting a stable fit. Durable Printed Graphics OMP combines silkscreen and sublimation printing to create the KS-2R’s detailed graphics and wide range of color options. These processes allow the design to remain lightweight and flexible rather than adding thick decorative panels. The available color combinations allow drivers to coordinate the gloves with their karting suit, helmet, shoes, kart graphics, or team colors. OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Glove Features High-grip silicone-rubber palm External finger seams reduce pressure points Flexible bellows at the knuckles and fingers Breathable mesh inserts improve airflow Silicone-rubber finger protection Slanted wrist cut supports an ergonomic fit Elastic wrist band provides secure retention Extended gauntlet offers additional wrist coverage Silkscreen and sublimation printed graphics Designed specifically for kart racing OMP KS-2R Kart Racing Glove Specifications Manufacturer: OMP Model: KS-2R Product Type: Kart Racing Gloves Palm: Silicone-Rubber Grip Finger Seams: External Flex Zones: Bellows at Knuckles and Fingers Ventilation: Breathable Mesh Inserts Finger Protection: Silicone Rubber Wrist: Slanted Cut with Elastic Band Graphics: Silkscreen and Sublimation Printing Available Sizes: XXS through XL, with select child sizes Intended Use: Kart Racing Available Color Combinations Black Navy Blue and Cyan Red and Black White and Red Yellow and Black How the KS-2R Compares with the OMP KS-3 The KS-2R is positioned above the entry-level KS-3 and places greater emphasis on external-seam comfort, articulated finger movement, silicone grip, and breathable mesh construction. Drivers looking for a simpler, lower-cost kart glove may prefer the KS-3. Racers who want a more technical fit, improved mobility, and a more aggressive grip surface will generally favor the KS-2R. Who Should Choose the OMP KS-2R? The KS-2R is well suited to club racers, competitive kart drivers, endurance competitors, and drivers who prefer the smoother feel of externally stitched fingers. Its articulated construction also makes it a good option for racers who find conventional gloves restrictive around the knuckles. Drivers who experience substantial steering vibration and want thick palm cushioning may prefer a dedicated vibration-damping glove. The KS-2R prioritizes grip, flexibility, and direct steering feedback rather than heavy padding. OMP KS-2R Kart Glove Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Is the OMP KS-2R currently FIA 8877-2022 approved?The current OMP product page does not list FIA 8877-2022 homologation for the KS-2R. Racers entering an event with mandatory glove certification should confirm acceptance with their championship or sanctioning organization before purchasing. Is the KS-2R a fire-resistant auto-racing glove?No. It is designed specifically for karting and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved fire-resistant gloves in automobile competition requiring flame protection. How does the KS-2R differ from the OMP KS-2 ART?The KS-2R uses articulated bellows around the knuckles and fingers, breathable mesh inserts, silicone finger protection, and a slanted wrist. The KS-2 ART focuses more heavily on lightweight stretch fabric and bold sublimated graphics. Does the silicone palm feel extremely sticky?The silicone rubber is designed to provide strong traction against the steering wheel. Drivers may need to lift the hand slightly when repositioning rather than sliding it across the wheel. Does the KS-2R have palm padding?The glove prioritizes direct steering feel and silicone grip rather than thick vibration-damping padding. Racers wanting significant cushioning may prefer a glove designed specifically to absorb steering vibration. What do the bellows on the fingers and knuckles do?They provide flexible expansion at high-movement areas, allowing the fingers and knuckles to bend more naturally without pulling tightly against the glove material. Will external seams catch on the steering wheel?External seams sit around the edges of the fingers and are intended to improve comfort without interfering with normal steering-wheel use. Proper sizing is important to prevent loose excess material. Are the KS-2R Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Yes. External seams, flexible joints, breathable mesh, and the secure elastic wrist make them well suited to longer races and repeated driving stints. Are child sizes available?OMP lists select child sizes in addition to adult sizes from XXS through XL. Availability may vary by color. How should the KS-2R fit around the fingers?The fingers should fill the glove without painful pressure or excess space at the tips. Loose fingertips can reduce steering sensitivity, while an overly tight fit can restrict movement and circulation. What should I do when my hand measurement falls between sizes?Drivers with wider palms or longer fingers will usually be more comfortable in the larger size. A close fit is desirable, but the glove should not force the fingers to curl or limit knuckle movement. Can the KS-2R be used for sim racing?Yes. The silicone palm, breathable construction, and external seams can provide good wheel control and comfort for sim racing, although the glove is primarily designed for kart competition. How should the gloves be cleaned?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid bleach, machine drying, radiators, and direct high heat. How can I extend the life of the silicone grip?Use the gloves primarily for driving and avoid handling rough bodywork, tools, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Allow them to dry fully before storing them.

OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Glove in red and black facing right
OMP Racing 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. OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Glove Features Lightweight karting-glove construction Rice-grain-textured AirFlow upper improves ventilation Silicone palm grip enhances steering-wheel traction Low-profile palm preserves detailed steering feedback Pre-shaped fingers support a natural driving position External seams reduce internal pressure points Finger forchettes improve fit and flexibility Straight-cut wrist provides a streamlined opening Elastic wrist band offers secure retention Available in adult and junior sizing Designed for indoor and outdoor kart racing OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Glove Specifications Manufacturer: OMP Model: KS-3 Product Type: Kart Racing Gloves Upper Material: Rice-Grain-Textured AirFlow Fabric Palm: Lightweight Silicone Grip Finger Construction: Pre-Shaped Seams: External Finger Side Panels: Forchettes Wrist: Straight Cut with Elastic Band Size Options: Adult and Junior Intended Use: Kart Racing OMP KS-3 Available Colors Black – 071 Yellow and Black – 059 Orange and Black – 096 Red and Black – 060 Blue and Black – 146 White and Black – 129 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. OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves Size Chart 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.
