Collection: SIM Racing Gloves

Sim racing gloves are specialized gloves designed for simulator racing that enhance grip, control, and comfort during extended racing sessions. They feature anti-slip palms for better wheel control, touchscreen-compatible fingertips for adjusting settings, and breathable materials to prevent hand fatigue. While not required, they provide a more authentic racing experience and improved precision during competitive sim racing.

Yes, Alpinestars sim racing gloves are designed to work with all major racing wheel brands and rim materials including leather, Alcantara, and suede. The gloves feature specialized palm materials that provide optimal grip across different wheel surfaces without causing wear or damage. They're suitable for both direct drive and belt-driven wheel systems used in home sim racing setups.

Sim racing gloves are purpose-built for virtual racing environments rather than physical motorsport. Unlike motorcycle or karting gloves, they don't require impact protection, abrasion-resistant materials, or safety certifications. Instead, they prioritize touchscreen compatibility, enhanced grip for wheel control, and lightweight breathability for comfort during long racing sessions. They draw on Alpinestars' motorsport heritage while being optimized specifically for the unique demands of simulator racing.

Yes, most Alpinestars sim racing gloves can be hand washed with mild detergent and cold water. Gently clean the gloves, rinse thoroughly, and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing, bleach, or tumble drying as these can damage the specialized grip materials and touchscreen-compatible fingertips. Regular cleaning helps maintain grip performance and extends the gloves' lifespan.

Sim racing gloves should fit snugly without restricting movement or circulation. Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart for accurate sizing. A proper fit ensures maximum control and feedback from the wheel while preventing bunching or slipping during racing. If between sizes, consider your preference for tighter precision fit versus slightly more comfort during extended sessions.
