Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Advance Karting Gloves
$49.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Advance Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Advance Karting Gloves combine lightweight construction, responsive steering-wheel grip, and a close ergonomic fit for drivers who want dependable performance throughout every karting session.
Polyester bonded with polymesh creates a flexible and breathable upper, while the synthetic suede palm delivers durability without sacrificing steering feel. Silicone grip zones across the palm and fingers improve control, and touchscreen-compatible fingertips make it easier to operate mobile devices and timing equipment between sessions.
Lightweight Comfort for Kart Racing
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Advance uses lightweight polyester bonded with polymesh to provide a comfortable balance of airflow, flexibility, and durability. The streamlined construction helps reduce unnecessary bulk between the driver’s hands and steering wheel.
This breathable design is especially beneficial during warm-weather races, indoor karting, and extended practice sessions where heat buildup can affect concentration and comfort.
Synthetic Suede Palm for Direct Steering Feel
A synthetic suede palm provides a durable contact surface while maintaining the sensitivity needed for accurate steering inputs. The material resists wear from repeated contact with the wheel without creating an excessively thick or padded feel.
The close palm construction helps drivers feel changes in steering resistance and maintain precise control through technical corners, braking zones, and quick directional changes.
Silicone Grip for Improved Wheel Control
Ergonomically positioned silicone printing across the palm and fingers increases traction against the steering wheel. The grip pattern helps prevent unwanted hand movement while allowing the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively tightly.
Improved traction can help reduce hand fatigue while supporting consistent steering inputs during longer races and practice sessions.
Mesh and Lycra Finger Construction
The finger fourchettes combine mesh panels with Lycra sections to create a balance of ventilation, stretch, and comfort. Mesh promotes airflow between the fingers, while Lycra allows the glove to flex naturally as the hand moves.
This mixed-material construction helps preserve a close fit without restricting finger movement or steering-wheel feedback.
Pre-Curved Race Fit
The fingers and palm are shaped in a pre-curved driving position that follows the natural form of the hand while gripping a kart steering wheel. This reduces excess material and helps prevent bunching across the palm and fingers.
The ergonomic shape supports a more natural hand position and helps the glove feel comfortable from the moment it is worn.
Internal-Seam Construction
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Advance uses internal seams for a traditional karting-glove fit. Lightweight materials, flexible finger panels, and the pre-curved design work together to minimize pressure points while keeping the glove close to the hand.
Open Cuff with Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the gloves easy to put on and remove. A 180-degree elasticated wrist stretches during entry and then fits securely around the wrist to help prevent the glove from shifting while driving.
The gauntlet-style cuff also provides comfortable coverage between the glove and karting suit sleeve.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate many smartphones, lap timers, and touchscreen electronics without removing the gloves.
This feature makes it easier to review timing data, adjust mobile applications, and use devices between heats.

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.

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 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.

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.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Future Karting Gloves
$49.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Future Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Future Karting Gloves deliver lightweight comfort, dependable steering-wheel grip, and bold motorsport styling for recreational and competitive kart racers. Their flexible polyester and polymesh construction provides a close, responsive fit while promoting airflow during warm-weather races and extended track sessions.
A durable synthetic suede palm preserves steering sensitivity, while ergonomically positioned silicone printing increases traction across the palm and fingers. Pre-curved shaping, flexible finger fourchettes, touchscreen-compatible fingertips, and Alpinestars’ elasticated open cuff complete a practical karting glove built for control and comfort.
Lightweight Construction for Warm-Weather Karting
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Future uses lightweight polyester bonded with polymesh to balance durability, flexibility, and ventilation. The streamlined upper conforms naturally to the hand without creating unnecessary bulk between the driver and steering wheel.
This breathable construction helps manage heat during indoor karting, summer race weekends, and long practice sessions where hand comfort can affect concentration and consistency.
Synthetic Suede Palm for Steering Feedback
The palm is constructed from synthetic suede to provide a durable contact surface while maintaining the sensitivity needed for precise steering inputs. The material resists wear caused by repeated contact with the wheel without feeling overly thick or padded.
This close connection helps drivers feel changes in steering resistance and make accurate corrections through braking zones, technical corners, and fast direction changes.
Silicone Grip for Confident Wheel Control
Ergonomically designed silicone printing is applied across key palm and finger areas to increase traction against the steering wheel. The grip treatment helps reduce unwanted hand movement during aggressive steering inputs and high-load corners.
Improved traction also allows the driver to maintain control without squeezing the wheel excessively tightly, helping reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
Mesh and Lycra Finger Fourchettes
The glove combines mesh fourchettes on selected fingers with Lycra panels on the remaining fingers. Mesh encourages airflow between the fingers, while Lycra provides the stretch needed for natural hand movement.
This combination creates a balanced fit that supports ventilation, flexibility, and durability without sacrificing steering-wheel feel.
Pre-Curved Finger and Palm Shape
The fingers and palm are formed in a pre-curved driving position that follows the natural shape of the hand while holding a kart steering wheel. This design helps reduce excess material and minimizes bunching around the palm and finger joints.
The shaped construction supports a more natural grip and helps the glove remain comfortable during repeated steering inputs.
Internal-Seam Construction
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Future uses internal seams for a traditional close-fitting karting-glove feel. Lightweight materials, flexible finger panels, and the pre-curved design work together to maintain comfort while keeping the glove securely positioned on the hand.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design allows the glove to slide on easily, while a 180-degree elasticated wrist provides a secure fit around the wrist. The cuff helps prevent the glove from shifting during use without requiring a separate closure strap.
The extended gauntlet also provides comfortable coverage between the glove and karting suit sleeve.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate many smartphones, lap timers, and touchscreen devices without removing the gloves.
This feature makes it easier to review timing data, adjust mobile applications, and use trackside electronics between sessions.
Future Graphic Styling
The Future edition features a clean, technical digital graphic with prominent Alpinestars branding and contrasting color details. Its streamlined design gives the glove a modern racing appearance while preserving the lightweight construction and flexibility of the Tech-1 K Race v2 platform.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves
$49.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical Karting Gloves combine lightweight construction, responsive steering-wheel grip, and a bold digital design for recreational and competitive kart racers. Polyester bonded with polymesh provides a flexible, breathable feel while helping the gloves withstand regular track use.
Internal seams create a traditional close-fitting profile, while the synthetic suede palm offers durability and direct steering feedback. Ergonomically positioned silicone printing across the palm and fingers increases traction, helping drivers maintain confident control throughout practice sessions, qualifying runs, and races.
Lightweight Performance for Warm Karting Conditions
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical uses a lightweight polyester-mesh construction designed to provide excellent feel and enhanced comfort in warm weather. The flexible upper follows the shape of the hand without adding unnecessary bulk between the driver and steering wheel.
This breathable construction makes the glove especially useful for indoor karting, summer competition, and extended track sessions where heat and moisture can reduce comfort.
Synthetic Suede Palm for Durability and Feel
The palm is constructed from synthetic suede to balance wear resistance with steering sensitivity. It creates a durable contact surface without the heavy or padded sensation that can reduce feedback from the wheel.
The close palm construction allows drivers to feel subtle changes in steering resistance and make precise corrections through technical corners.
Ergonomic Silicone Palm Grip
Strategically placed silicone printing across the palm and fingers improves traction against the steering wheel. This added grip helps limit unwanted hand movement during aggressive steering inputs, braking zones, and high-load corners.
Because the silicone surface helps hold the wheel securely, drivers can maintain control without squeezing excessively tightly, which may help reduce fatigue over longer sessions.
Mesh and Lycra Finger Fourchettes
The finger construction combines mesh fourchettes on one half of the fingers with Lycra panels on the other half. This combination provides a balance of airflow, flexibility, and durability.
The mesh sections encourage ventilation between the fingers, while the Lycra panels stretch naturally as the hand opens, closes, and moves around the steering wheel.
Pre-Curved Finger and Palm Design
The fingers and palm are shaped in a pre-curved driving position that follows the natural form of the hand while holding a kart steering wheel. This design helps reduce material bunching around the fingers and palm.
A more natural driving shape supports consistent steering feel and reduces the resistance that can occur when a flat glove is forced into a gripping position.
Internal-Seam Construction
The Tech-1 K Race v2 Vertical uses internal seams for a traditional karting-glove fit. The lightweight materials, flexible fourchettes, and pre-curved shape work together to maintain comfort while keeping the glove close to the hand.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
Alpinestars’ open-cuff design makes the glove easy to put on and remove. A 180-degree elasticated wrist stretches during entry and then fits securely around the wrist to help prevent movement while driving.
The streamlined gauntlet cuff also provides comfortable coverage between the glove and kart suit sleeve.
Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Touch-compatible printing on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate many smartphones, lap timers, and touchscreen electronics without removing the gloves.
This makes it easier to review lap data, adjust timing applications, or use a mobile device between sessions.
Distinctive Vertical Graphic Design
The Vertical edition features an aggressive digital print that gives the glove a recognizable appearance on the track. The graphic treatment complements the performance-focused construction without adding weight or restricting movement.
