Alpinestars TECH-1 RACE v4 Glove, FIA 8856-2018
The Tech 1 Race glove from Alpinestars is designed for comfort through light weight. Instead of leather padding, printed grip areas on the palm and fingers provide a firm grip with uncompromised feel. All graphics are printed instead of embroidered for lighter weight. Even the FIA homologation tag is printed on the gauntlet. The entire back of the glove is cut from a single piece of fabric to eliminate seams and bulk.
Pre-curved fingers and external seams on the palm side of the fingers minimize bunching and pressure points when you grab the wheel. The outer layer of fire-resistant aramid fabric is bonded to an inner flame-retardant liner for comfortable protection. Features a straight-cut gauntlet and elastic inside the wrist for security. The v4 revision has an extended gauntlet to meet the latest FIA requirements. FIA 8856-2018 approved.
Available in Black/Blue, Black/Grey, Black/Orange, Black/Red, Black/Yellow, and White/Red. The first color (e.g., Black on Black/Orange) is the main color, covering the back of the hand and gauntlet. The second color in the name (e.g., Orange on Black/Orange) appears on the back of the first finger, in the printed graphics, between the fingers, and on the inward-facing panel of the gauntlet. Black gloves have white graphics and logos; White gloves have black graphics and logos. All colors have a black palm and finger grip material.
To find glove size, measure around the largest part of the hand over the knuckles while making a fist, excluding the thumb.
