Racing gloves
Nomex® racing gloves developed around SFI 3.3/5, made on a pre-curved racing block in single-layer and two-layer builds.
What SFI 3.3/5 asks of a glove
Gloves are graded by the TPP of the top of the glove: at least 19 cal/cm² for /5. The palm side must reach at least 7.6 and the forchettes (finger sides) at least 6.0. A glove that misses a value is downgraded until every section conforms.
Each finger and thumb needs its own section. Leather palms are allowed, but a fire-resistant layer must separate the leather from the hand.
Construction
Our gloves use a Nomex® fire-resistant construction with a grip-enhanced palm, made on a pre-curved block so the glove follows a hand holding the wheel. Two-layer gloves fit about half a size smaller than single-layer.
Cuff style, colours, palm grip and logos are made to your specification.
