FAQs

Can I use these gloves for karting or track days?

No, these gloves are specifically designed for sim racing and do not meet the fire-retardant safety standards required for real-world automotive or karting events.

How do I determine my size?

Alpinestars gloves typically follow standard measurement guidelines based on palm circumference. Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for your specific model.

Will these work with a touch-screen tablet for telemetry?

Yes, the conductive material in the fingertips is designed to work with capacitive touchscreens like those found on tablets and smartphones.

How often should I wash them?

Depending on usage frequency, a light hand wash every few weeks will remove sweat and skin oils, helping to preserve the grip material.

Do they provide padding for vibration?

The gloves focus on thin, tactile feedback rather than heavy padding. They are designed to let you feel the Force Feedback from your wheel base clearly.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen responsiveness is poor

Ensure the finger tips are clean of debris and that the glove is pulled fully down toward the webbing of your fingers to ensure proper contact.

Grip is wearing down prematurely

Avoid using the gloves for activities outside of sim racing and ensure you are not gripping the wheel with excessive force that causes friction heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent tactile feedback for precision steering
  • High level of breathability for extended comfort
  • Superior grip pattern minimizes hand fatigue
  • Touchscreen friendly for easy menu interaction

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in real-world motor racing
  • Requires careful hand-washing to maintain material integrity
  • Size availability varies across different graphic variants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gloves, follow these maintenance practices:

  • Fitment: Ensure the glove is snug across the palm; the Lycra inserts should stretch comfortably without restricting circulation.
  • Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy chemical cleaners that could degrade the 3D-printed grip patterns.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the material from losing its elasticity.
  • Compatibility: These gloves are compatible with all major sim racing wheel bases, including Alcantara, leather, and rubber-rimmed wheels.
