    Any of you guys looking for gloves?

    Just wondering if there are a couple of you looking for some FIA approved gloves or any type of racing gear, gloves, shoes, etc?

    I could use some driving gloves. I have a really good MOMO wheel but it can be really slippery when my hands get sweaty. Any suggestions

          If you check out www.k1racegear.com, they are my sponsor for my car. I just want to say that for the price, their quality is top notch....

          They also make suits, shoes, bags, etc.

            I've been considering a pair. Thanks for the link.

              The best gloves I've found are those that use Kangaroo skin. That type of leather seems to have more friction and the grip doesn't degrade with use. And Kangaroo skin stays supple even after being wet. Beats plain leather by a large margin.

                I wonder who makes K1's stuff for them.

                One thing I have found immensely important with racing gloves is OUTSIDE STITCHING!

                I wear SPARCO Fast-Tech gloves for that very reason. Hopefully K1 offers an outside stitching glove or will plan to soon.

                    For anyone buying gloves to use on the track, get a bright color so your hands are easier to see if you are doing a point buy or some other hand gesture. Red and yellow are good. Blue and black are bad.

                      Good Point. Mine are mostly white. But no issues yet. I get up and OUT the top. Hard to miss my point bys.

                      Not too many people get it though ;)
