I had just seen a web site article on this, but cant find it now.

I remember seeing low profile "Chuck Taylors" on the list.

I have Adidas Adi Racer Low

Well those would be shoes not gloves but my jimmies are unfazed

We can discuss shoes as well. I have the Sparco Esse - so far so good. I think they look cooler than the Puma Speed cats and have about the same feel possibly a little bit less compared to speed cat

Don't laugh, but my bro-in-law bought me these gloves:

They look a little out of place compared with the typical Alpinestar and Simpson gloves most people use, but are actually very comfortable and offer a nice sticky grip on the wheel. I've thought about replacing them, but can't find a reason to.

I want Alpine Stars

CSG David 07-15-2015 03:29 PM

Did someone say gloving? Just kidding. I haven't tried all the gloves out. Alpine Stars, Sparco, etc. all making some good gloves.

The ones that fit best and are affordable enough that you can still go to that track day you wanted to go to. I run the top of the line GFORCE gloves, and I have no issues with them:

Love those dudes

Gloves are:

1) great for comfort as long as it suits your needs
2) like helmets, they vary as much as your hand size varies
3) not for everyone

And there's no fire protection unless you are wearing a full suit and have proper passenger compartment protection.

Sparco Tides RG9

They are on the pricey side, but they have these awesome mini suction cups for grip. Feels like glue on your wheel or shift knob, plus they're handmade in Italy

I bought these at the beginning of the season because they were cheap and I didn't know if I would like driving with a glove. These are SFI/FIA rated and reasonably priced. Turns out I do like gloves. I will spend about double what these cost for next year for a set with outside seams. Inside seams are a little uncomfortable if you are getting a glove that fits snug enough that there is no loose material.

I have some older sparco ones with the seam on the outside. Whatever gloves you get consider ones with that feature. It makes them much more comfortable to wear for long periods of time in the heat while sweating.


They are these but in bluehttp://s212.photobucket.com/user/Xcelratr/media/DSC_0028_zpsj2t1jajr.jpg.html

why did they / who removed my comment about wearing a nomex thong ?

Vracer111 07-23-2015 05:29 AM

Gloves with external seams are the best...you will never go back to ones with internal seams! I really like the Alpine Star Tech 1ZX's... especially since I got them for nearly half off retail!

Icanfaptothis86 07-23-2015 01:43 PM

^ This.

I have the Aplinestars 1-zx and I bought them because they fit me really well and the seams are on the outside, which I found more comfortable.

I recommend going to your local race gear shop and trying a bunch on - you'd be surprised how different they all feel.

Shinchu 07-25-2015 07:28 PM

yup. inside-out apline stars. i dont remember what kind because i bought them forever ago (10+ years?), and i havent been to a track event in about 3 years.

yes im old stfu.
