Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Pure Gloves Anthracite/Red

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Pure Gloves Anthracite/Red

Part of the Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 line, the Pure version is a lightweight performance glove that the manufacturer lists in the Asphalt/Red colourway. Polyester and polyester mesh form the main structure, which aims to combine durability and a close fit with clear steering wheel feel, including on hot race days. Sizes S, M, L, XL and 2XL are available.

The back of the hand and the cuff are anthracite with a cool grey-blue tint. A large red Alpinestars star logo runs diagonally across the back of the hand towards the base of the fingers. A smaller dark logo sits by the index finger, and vertical brand lettering on a dark strip appears on the outer side of the cuff. The inner cuff carries a dark star logo, and the cuff edge has a black trim.

The black palm is made of synthetic suede for grip and feel, with seams placed on the inside. Fine white silicone dots and translucent strips along the fingers and the base of the thumb add flexibility and control. Black inserts between the fingers combine mesh on half of the fingers with Lycra on the other half, balancing ventilation and stretch. The open cuff with an elastic 180° wrist strap makes the gloves quick to put on and take off in the pits while keeping them securely in place.

With its mesh construction and restrained anthracite and red scheme, this pair suits drivers who prefer a light, sensitive glove over a thick multi-layer build, and it pairs easily with race suits and helmets in many colours.
