racing gloves

Grip for speedsters

Racing gloves are specialized handwear designed for motorsports, featuring thin leather or synthetic palms for grip on the steering wheel and fire-resistant materials for protection in crashes.

They fit snugly to preserve tactile sensitivity: He pulled on his racing gloves before climbing into the cockpit.

Similar gloves exist for cycling and other speed sports.
