FAQs

Can I use these gloves for real-world go-karting?

No, these gloves are developed specifically for SIM racing and do not offer the protective flame-retardant or abrasion-resistant properties required for real-world racing.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles and compare it against the official Alpinestars sizing guide to ensure a tight, ergonomic fit.

Does the grip material wear down quickly?

The Nanofront palm is designed for durability against sim-specific wheel rims, but longevity depends on the abrasiveness of your wheel rim and your intensity of grip.

Are they machine washable?

Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the 3D-printed grip details and the structural integrity of the lightweight fabric.

Do these gloves work with all touchscreen devices?

They are compatible with most standard capacitive touchscreens, including tablets, smartphones, and some dedicated racing dash displays.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding to glove inputs

Ensure the conductive material on the fingertips is clean and in full contact with the screen. You may need to press slightly firmer due to the protective screen film.

Material feels loose after prolonged use

Wash the gloves according to the care instructions to help the synthetic fibers contract and return to their original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tactile feedback for precise steering inputs
  • Highly breathable construction keeps hands cool during endurance races
  • Touchscreen functionality eliminates the need to remove gloves to adjust software
  • Close-fitting design mimics the feel of professional racing gear

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor or real-vehicle racing environments
  • The thin material may show wear faster than heavy-duty karting gloves
  • Fit must be precise to maintain optimal tactile sensation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, verify your hand size matches the specific sizing chart to achieve the intended 'second-skin' fit.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most simulator steering wheel materials, including suede, Alcantara, and rubber.
  • Designed for use with standard smartphone and tablet touchscreens.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash in cool water using mild detergent to preserve the 3D-printed grip texture.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the Nanofront palm.
  • Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the stretch material from losing its elasticity.
