What gloves do NASCAR drivers wear?
NASCAR drivers wear fire-retardant gloves made with rugged materials such as Nomex and Kevlar. These gloves must meet strict safety standards, including SFI 3.3 and 3.5 specifications. Simpson racing gloves are built to these standards.
Do racing gloves make a difference?
Yes. Racing gloves improve grip, protect hands from heat and wear, and provide lasting comfort by regulating temperature and maintaining a proper fit.
How do I choose a racing glove?
Select a glove that fits snugly without being too tight. For grip, look for patches on the palm and undersides of the fingers rather than full palm coverage—this allows greater flexibility. Features like pre-curved fingers and external stitching offer a more natural feel on the wheel. Finally, choose gloves with an FIA or SFI safety rating to ensure advanced heat and flame resistance.
