Yes, all auto racing gloves in this collection meet FIA 8856-2018 homologation requirements, ensuring they provide certified flame-resistant protection for professional and amateur motorsports competition. FIA certification guarantees the gloves have passed rigorous testing for heat resistance, flame retardancy, and structural integrity under racing conditions. Always verify specific homologation details for your racing series requirements.

Alpinestars auto racing gloves utilize premium fire-resistant materials including Nomex®, a meta-aramid fiber known for exceptional thermal protection and durability. Many gloves feature kangaroo leather in high-wear areas for superior grip and tactile feel, combined with silicone palm printing for enhanced steering wheel control. Strategic stretch panels and pre-curved construction ensure optimal fit and reduced hand fatigue during extended racing sessions.

Selection depends on your racing discipline and personal preferences. Consider glove length based on your suit design—longer cuffs provide better overlap with suit sleeves for enhanced protection. Evaluate grip patterns and palm construction for your specific vehicle type: single-seater drivers often prefer external seams for maximum sensitivity, while GT and touring car racers may prioritize reinforced palms for durability. Touch-screen compatible fingertips and varying insulation levels are additional factors based on racing conditions and data system requirements.
