FAQs
Are these gloves fireproof?
No, these are designed specifically for SIM racing and do not offer the fire-retardant properties required for real-world track use.
Can I use these with a VR headset?
Yes, their lightweight and ergonomic design makes them excellent for VR setups where touch and feel are vital.
How do I choose my size?
These gloves feature a close ergonomic fit. Refer to the manufacturer's size guide and measure your palm width carefully before choosing.
Can I use these with my tablet for dash software?
Yes, the touchscreen-compatible fingertips allow for seamless interaction with tablets or laptop screens while sitting in your rig.
How should I store the gloves?
Store them in a cool, dry place and ensure the 3D-printed palms are not folded against each other for extended periods to prevent sticking.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding to input
Ensure the finger pads are clean and free of oils; if the issue persists, ensure you are using the specific touchscreen-enabled fingertips.
Gloves feel too tight during long sessions
The gloves are designed for a close racing fit; if restriction occurs, take short breaks between sessions to allow for circulation and airflow.
Grip feels slippery on the wheel rim
Clean the palm area with a damp cloth to remove skin oils or dust that may have accumulated on the 3D-printed grip patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size, as the bonded stretch construction is designed for a tight, ergonomic fit. To put them on, utilize the inner pull tab to slide the hand in without stretching the seams. These gloves are compatible with almost all racing wheels, including Alcantara, leather, and rubberized rims. To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the 3D-printed grip patterns.
