FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for motorcycle riding?
No. These gloves are designed exclusively for sim racing and do not provide the impact protection or abrasion resistance required for motorcycle use.
Can I use these gloves with a keyboard and mouse?
Yes. The thin material and Lycra inserts between the fingers are specifically designed to allow for natural movement and precise input when operating a keyboard or mouse.
How do I choose the correct size?
Consult the official Alpinestars sizing guide for your specific region, measuring the circumference of your hand at the widest point just below the knuckles.
Will these work with all types of racing wheels?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard steering wheel materials including Alcantara, suede, leather, and rubber.
How often should I wash them?
Wash them whenever you notice a buildup of sweat or oil, or if you feel the grip texture becoming slick, to ensure long-term performance.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too loose during racing.
Verify you have selected the correct size based on the Alpinestars sizing chart; ensure the wrist cuff is pulled fully into position.
Touchscreen sensitivity is intermittent.
Clean the fingertip fabric with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove sweat or debris, and ensure the fabric is making full contact with the screen.
Grip is reduced after extended use.
Gently wash the gloves to remove skin oils and dust buildup on the palm, which can accumulate and reduce friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior tactile feedback for realistic steering control
- Excellent ventilation keeps hands cool during long sessions
- Highly flexible fabric allows for easy use of peripherals
- Secure grip on both rubber and suede steering wheel rims
- Low-profile design avoids wrist restriction
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor or road vehicle use
- Thin material may show wear faster than heavy-duty work gloves
- Specific fit requires accurate sizing to benefit from the ergonomic design
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Achieving the optimal fit is essential for these gloves to perform as intended. Ensure the stretch textile sits snugly against your skin without creating gaps at the fingertips. To maintain the grip performance of the Nanofront palm, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, oils, or heavy greases.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash in cold water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the grip texture.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from losing its elasticity.
- Store flat or hung in a cool, dry area to ensure the fabric retains its shape.
