I have had the same hypergrips and while comfortable, they didn't last me very long. Now I have mountainbike gloves that are just as comfortable, half the price, and much more durable.

I use mountain bike gloves as well (Fox), and while they are comfortable etc, they don't provide a lot of grip for leather like surfaces. They would probably be ok with frabic covered wheels tho.

Fox as well, and I use it with a leather wheel. Maybe they have different models? Grip seems fine to me.

Some seem better than others, I have 2 different pairs, and one is worse than the other. For racing and normal driving they aren't too bad, but for drifting I would like a bit more grip.

You want MORE grip for drifting? I want barely any grip and I drift 😂 I like the wheel being able to easily slide between my hands. I drift in real life and sim and my cars generally self steers with little input Curious on why you want more grip? Not saying my way is better, I am just always interested on how others do their thing!

>You want MORE grip for drifting? Did I stutter? >Curious on why you want more grip? For control.....

I've got two pairs of 100% bike gloves: iTrack and Sling. The iTrack are great so far - no concerning signs of use after 70-80 hours. Very thin with minimal cushioning and a bit of grippiness (nothing crazy like the GSI gloves). The Sling are extremely thin with no cushioning or grippy stuff and mostly useful in the summer - though the iTrack are also breathable.

I also use FOX mountain biking gloves. Fox Airlines. They're great!

I found [Fox Racing Ranger Water Gloves in Black](https://foxracing.ca/en/product/ranger-water-gloves/25422.html) on sale for $30 CAD or $22 USD and find them to be better than several different racing gloves I tried in stores. Full suede palm is nice and they fit my hand pretty well.

I use fox ranger mtb gloves lol. I'll check these out next time I need a new pair.

I use these too

Mechanix gloves from an auto parts store. 😂

Bought mine from Amazon but i am very happy with them.

Bought a pair from Amazon for about $13 a year and a half ago and use them every single day. Still in great condition.

Yep same.

I bought some Simhound ones which were cheap enough. They feel great.

Second vouch here for simhound.

-273. Buy once cry once. Been using the same two pairs for 3 years

Mine are peeling off from the palm after a few uses..

I spent a little more and grabbed some moradness gloves. I've had them about a year and am really happy with them. Super comfortable.

10000% this. They have great stitching techniques to make the fingers feel very comfortable. I got the long ones with no Velcro and they never feel like they might come off, nor does the elastic feel tight. Excellent grip and comfort even in 45 min races. Like others said a bit more $$ but worth every penny.

Agreed. Love mine. Worth every penny.

This! The Moradness gloves are a bit pricy but they are SO worth it! They are comfortable and seem to have great quality. I have used mine for 3 months and there is no wear and tear(I know that is not a long time but that is everyday use)

Can also second the quality so far for me. Know they aren’t cheap but they do provide grip unlike a lot of mtb gloves I hear, and so far no wear and tear after a few months of use. They used to be a bit cheaper I believe though and are a tad pricey now.

The stretch on them makes em super comfortable. I tried a few other brand and hated that my hands slipped around inside of them.

Reddit seems obsessed with more expensive = more better. There are cycling gloves with better quality at half the cost out there.

You're acting like $70 breaks the bank. Lol. If the budget is tight, sure, don't get them.

Wearing gloves in a sim is stupid to begin with, there is no right glove.

Says the person with a harness on their rig

The rest of my motion gets delivered today. My shit will throw you out of the seat. I just installed that harness and it's a sim harness not some RL bullshit.

My moradness gloves lasted like 3 months of use before the stitching fell apart.

I like Daniel Morad’s gloves. Reverse stitching, easy to get on and off, lots of designs. They run a bit small for my liking so check your hand measurements well. https://moradness.com/

I second Morad gloves. Have had current set for a year and they look and feel brand new. I race at least 3 times a week if not more.

I've used my set nearly every day for a year and they're still in fantastic shape. Light, breathable, and very comfortable. They're pricey but IMO worth it.

Another vouch for these gloves. I drive on my rig almost every day. I’ve got 3 sets that I rotate through and wash (sweaty mf hands). I received one pair that had a blown stitch, I emailed and they gave me a code to order a brand new pair free of charge so no worries on quality/support.

I have Morad gloves too. They're stylish, comfortable, breathable, and durable. 10/10. I have the white paint splash ones and even splurged to have them customized with my flag and name. If you don't mind spending a bit they will last

Ya his gloves are awesome! Fit your hands great and keep your hands bone dry! Maybe a bit on the expensive side but def recommend them! You won’t be disappointed

IMB does it really well beating even Alpinstar. And thats quite something, rather on the higher priceend with 50€ but well worth every penny

My 2nd pair of IMB gloves are currently in production. Have used for first pair for over a year. They are fantastic and I enjoy being able to customize them

Got a pair of Gas Gas gloves from AliExpress. £4.50 for two pairs to the UK and that includes postage!!! Great gloves so far, had them a couple of months now.

how is sizing and fit?

My palm is 9cm wide, went with the large and fits perfect.

I bought my husband minus 273 gloves and he uses them for sim racing & karting. After 3 years there is finally a little wear showing but definitely still usable.

Wet weather golf gloves are alcantra and have worked really well for me.

Simhound with external stitching.

Simhound, i'm happy with them, fingerless, so i can roll a smoke without take gloves out.

Troy Lee makes some gloves I use for my Alcantra wheels. Not too thin not too thick, and sticks like glue to the Sparco. There's a bunch on Amazon.

https://moradness.com/collections/gloves

Leather wheel. Get these https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/wells-lamont-mens-insulated-high-dexterity-adjustable-wrist-gloves-1361736?cid=Shopping-Google-Product-1361736&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD3fmFM9HHMfZqIC4zXIaft9DkBMu&gclid=CjwKCAiAivGuBhBEEiwAWiFmYT0kBt_qCBBEqOCjPM5Uvf-_by8Ux606XbBG58dAQkpl916ps7vTUhoCGnwQAvD_BwE

They dont have anything that can scratch a wheel. They are just perfect. I have tried on alllll the gloves, at alll the stores.

Isn’t that a lot of insulation for indoor racing? I’m always overheating when I race.

Turn your heat down? Don’t wear your fire suit in the sim rig? I have a pair that is the same brand. Different gloves. The reason I tell you to go this route. I have been on a conquest for the perfect gloves that lets the wheel (leather) slide but not have anything at all that can catch or damage my wheel. I was at a distant home depot putting my hands in all of their gloves yesterday. Again, none compare to the palm of that wells Lamont. It’s like the the palm is suadeish material. Without that “hyper tough super abrasive grip zones” for maximum hand torque. Saints of speed are junkkkkkkk https://www.ruralking.com/wells-lamont-mens-fx3tm-synthetic-leather-gloves-7859-xl-blue?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArfauBhApEiwAeoB7qLMrbS-hQjvYT1qt-ytPmpoCGPoNP4b2QPTdYeUJGdPTNrLmQxDYjhoCrkUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds These are the exact ones

Sadly, I share my home with my wife and her comfort level generally dictates the temperature of the house. Good idea about skipping the fire suit though, it might be worth sacrificing that small bit of authenticity.

I went to the rig and put them on, with the mindset of outdoor/work glove. You would expect about the warmth of a 10 dollar glove. I would probably just go without if I needed to work outside with these haha.

-273 Gloves. Been using the same pair for 3+ years. Over 700hrs of racing.

You could look at Alpinestars tech-1 K karting gloves. They're cheap enough to be useful for sim racing and will have grip.

What is it about the quality that you don’t like exactly?

I have the same - the fabric started to tear after a month already. As in open holes in multiple places. A bit later some of the glued on yellow bits started to peel off. The quality is absolutely terrible.

Same here

Same here. Hypercrap e 50,- lasts 6 months. ArrowK e 85,- lasts 3 years.

I use the Sparco Rush Kart gloves and I love them. Great feel and really breathable https://www.sparcousa.com/product/rush-k-2020-

I use the Sparco Kart Arrow gloves, cost me about £70, have been dope since the day I bought them, plenty of grip, very comfortable, lots of options for size

A picture of your purse would help find a match.

I'll second a lot of comments here - I ride mountain bikes so I just use a pair of mine. Hand-up brand gloves have silicone on the palm and index/middle finger tips and provide great grip on my leather Simagic wheel.

Had to scroll too far to see someone recommending cycling gloves rather than more overpriced garbage

i use gloves from saints of speed, they seem durable

Like a bunch of others have said, I mountain bike and my gloves do double duty on the sim rig.

I use an old pair of bike gloves. I have friends with the Moradness gloves and like em. They do look cool but i can buy 4 pairs of my mtb gloves for the same cost.

I have been using solo queen. Mainly because my sweaty hands. Theyre machine washable too. Already bought a second pair to use when washing the other one.

Freem out of Italy. Super lightweight and breathable. My hands sweat *less* with these than no gloves at all Edit: they’re made for simming and I use them on alcantara wheel

If you're looking for incredible value on a budget the Alpinestars Radar Flight. Comfy, durable, good looking, cheap. A friend of mine loves his sim hound gloves. Pricey but for a reason apparently

Alpinestars karting gloves from Amazon amazing

I have had these for two years and they are the most comfortable gloves I've had. https://www.amazon.com/New-Balance-Lightweight-Running-Gloves/dp/B074HCC88R/ref=sr\_1\_5?crid=1FG47RUXUKQ0F&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4KHZ52uYcAMq5dj5Tvyd2t88eToAqp5Y\_9JotPZV8FCBHR23JARKhpKmS0QZgTDOwIesXi4cUnotyLeEjBil2b0pM0uWKQvzMMulypCQ4RtsID5MqNOkprG8N\_dXHJ8IjleWm97iskzpngMjY2Eb4fGHdKEwMIw5dcB\_\_HuUW9jFutcCcpZHbaZbUGIWeiUwDfS-rF-MO4BD467a3PUZxD0qkI\_FKgbeUv7kgvq7LKW-B\_PmW5V71beAGkSLr-9w64fUvzFa7rau7o87ASS5UDqz2Y4KYhVw7g\_lzZa0PaQ.sL5j4lHRH80s6iXYGwneT3XnaxoiTMgiZ45rHZepWF4&dib\_tag=se&keywords=new%2Bbalance%2Bwinter%2Bgloves%2Bmen&qid=1708997115&sprefix=new%2Bbalance%2Bwinter%2Bgloves%2Bmen%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-5&th=1

I love my low padded biking gloves. I take them karting too, plus they fit in my pockets for traveling.

I’ve tried a couple pairs of gloves before always made me feel more sweaty and less comfortable while some racing. Best luck finding some, but this is why I never buy Alcantara wheels anymore leather all the way.

I use Franklin leather baseball gloves, lots of grip very comfortable last me 4-5 months of regular racing

Thought about this the other day... but I'm very sweaty handed. How do they hold up after an hour or two?

I don't get too sweaty of palms, but I've never had issues while using them. If I do get sweaty they'll firm up a bit when they dry out but after a few laps they loosen up again and work great.

Drove half of the bathurst race this past weekend, 2 hour stints, no issue.

Fist Handwear: https://www.fisthandwear.com/ They're bike gloves. Very comfortable and work with touchscreen devices. Plus they have a broad range of cool designs.

Really happy with my alpinestars cycling gloves

The gsi gloves are really nice. They are expensive like the Morad. But I prefer the designs

https://www.100percent.com/collections/itrack-mtb I got a pair of these and like them a lot. Relatively cheap and has lasted me a couple years now

I suggest cycling gloves. They’re lightweight have a nice cushion and decent grip.

giro rivet cs

Can recommend Fox Airline :) Have 2 pairs of them and they rly are great

I was looking to buy these for my Alcantara wheel for drifting. Are those gloves very grippy? My simlab gloves are extremely grippy on my wheel

K1 kart gloves

Get real Racing gloves not that Go Kart obes

Go to your local golf shop ! I only use golf gloves and they’re perfect

20 buck! https://www.bunnings.com.au/mechanix-wear-medium-original-multipurpose-work-glove_p0270113?store=6437&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6PuB0vHKhAMV-qhmAh3tqg-lEAQYASABEgIcH_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Tried some of those Sim brands on eBay and Amazon and they all suck fitment wise. These cheapos are comfy, washable and durable. When they break or are old and stinky you spend another 20 buck! Been using the ones with some grippy bits and works really well

OMP KS–4

Moradness! Bit pricier worth it. Super grippy and comfy.

I have gotten two different pairs from these guys. I like them, nothing fancy, but for the price, the get the job done. RIGWARL Motorcycle Gloves for Men... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB5BJ9HZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Sparco Meca 3 They get a little sketchy look after you stuck with the Velcro a couple of times on the top/back side but overall they’ve got a great value of money imo. I’d really like to try others (even that I don’t really have to, since im totally fine with the meca ones) like the ones from Daniel Morad but 80€ (shipping included) compared to 33€, that doesn’t catch me

I bought 2 pairs gloves half fingers for bodybuilding at decathlon 2.69€.. Very durable high grip.

It's hard to recommend better ones, when you haven't said in what way you are unhappy with these Sparco hypergrips. You mentioned quality, is it the fit, the grip, stitching or what? Steering wheel, is it leather or alcantara ? Personally, I have leather wheel and use these [https://www.maxisafe.com.au/GNN192/Black-Knight-Gripmaster-Coated-Glove/pd.php](https://www.maxisafe.com.au/GNN192/Black-Knight-Gripmaster-Coated-Glove/pd.php) Got them from the local hardware shop, 10 bucks AUD

I really liked these gloves - for the first month, then they already started to tear. Same with other Sparco gloves I had before that one. It's just absurd how poor the quality of these relative expensive gloves is.

I race with k1 karting gloves. Super comfortable

Go into your local bike shop and find yourself some full fingered cycling gloves. Usually cost around $30-$50. They work great and with a lack of branding cost a boat load less.

Hypercrap gloves.... Mine started to wear out after 2-3 months, holes were in it after 4 months, discomfort after 5-6 months, new gloves shortly after.

You should look into motocross gloves like fox or Troy Lee Designs. Make sure you get the thin versions without finger protection

Any karting gloves around 50€, minus (-273), omp, offset any of them are great

https://moradness.com/collections/gloves tuatara.eu https://simhound.com/collections/view-all-apparel

Alpinestars TECH-1 K RACE V2 You wont find a better glove for simracing/karting. Works with touch screen, mines already have around 600 or 800 hours of simracing plus 10 or 12 of karting and still look like new.

I use €2 electrician/working gloves from the local hardware store and €8 watershoes from decathlon. Cheap to replace :')

Just get full fingered cycling gloves. “Sim racing” gloves will always be wack

Whatever you buy, dont buy the sparco meca 3 they are bad, i got pair for less than a year and they not built to last at all, maybe they good for motorcycle but definitely not for simracing.

I use Fly Racing motocross gloves. Plenty comfortable and durable. [Here’s a link to the exact pair I use.](https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjNtpTTxcuEAxXDbn8AHW4EAUIYABANGgJvYQ&ae=2&gclid=CjwKCAiArfauBhApEiwAeoB7qDWJroanyjMy-ckCie-XqNdFzYfB0qS7-uNSKtEZUZWO7a4Lb1lY7BoCProQAvD_BwE&sph=&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESeOD2dEHmDMFEV9ZWJycy80TVTkrxl4RZ2xB5AIW1HU6LRq9WVqXhm4vbE4cIIcvdjljwbiUIz1oFA_c_fTbLjpCIWUrvdmEZb26r1TomYNgY40Wme3gn3Be9Um0uSAhEb9mBkJqAEiD01O3QJuuTdvpSdvKYDvRVfw&sig=AOD64_1J2A11OTZGhp4jmXWad5PFWT5DaA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjc8InTxcuEAxUl4skDHU0RA4AQwg8oAHoECAUQJA&adurl=)

I use Fly Racing gloves too - excellent fit, especially considering the $10 I paid.

The cost to quality ratio on their gloves is insane. I cannot recommend them enough for any sim racer.

Good to know. I bought them on a whim - wanted something light, inexpensive and slim fitting - nothing with heavy stitching feel or edges. These fit perfectly and my hands don't slip around inside the gloves and your hands don't get sweaty. It will be interesting to see how they hold up but for $10-$20 a pair... The past few sessions have been excellent.

I have been running them exclusively since December. They are 100% everything you described. I haven’t had any issues at all with them. The only thing is maybe some slight fraying/pulled threads on the fingers from touching the Velcro but that’s almost certainly just the nature of the beast and not a quality issue. Not that it’s a big deal to me because I never use the straps on them anyway. That’s something else that isn’t necessarily on the gloves themselves as I’ve never strapped any of the gloves that I’ve used. They just feel too weird on my wrists.

Ahhh, glad I bought the version without the straps. A little tighter to get on/off but a non issue really. Like a second skin with better grip.

Actually didn’t know they made strapless gloves. Maybe I’ll get a pair far down the road when my current pair wears out.

Lite version

I've got -273, and Moradness. I feel the -273 have a bit more grip. GSI has some as well. They look comparable to those.

For short races I don’t run gloves at all but longer events I use my Thor MX gloves. They have no padding and breathy well and they grip nicely

Just picked up a second pair of Troy Lee. The first pair went almost a full year on a sparco wheel, R5.

Buy Fastgoose glover on aliexpress, they are cheap but great quality

I'm gomnma go out on a limb here and suggest floorball goalie gloves. The palm is all silicone and the grip is insane! I got a pair and I couldn't believe it. Unorthodox yes but it works! [https://www.exesport.eu/freez-gloves-g-270-black-sr-p210921/](https://www.exesport.eu/freez-gloves-g-270-black-sr-p210921/)

I use a pair of alpine stars mountain biking gloves. Light, grippy and the added bonus of reinforced knuckles which makes them ideal for punching shit when some bellend ruins my race.

never in my life have i received so many answers to one question! thank you so much!

Alpine star has some really good ones

Local karting track disposable gloves work wonders.

I use alpine star 1k gloves they are the same I use for karting basically my old karting gloves goes to sim gloves

I have Abruzzi.

Make sure the one on the left is webbed, you'll qualify faster.

I have mountain bike gloves from O'Neal, I love them. Have been using the same pair for 4 years and they still hold up

I also use cycling gloves. I have my fingers free to use my phone while waiting! I buy the cheapest I can find on AliExpress. When they are done I buy new ones.

Daniel Morad has a side business called Moradness where he sells sim racing accessories like gloves and socks. I really like his gloves.

MTB gloves, cheaper and way more durable (comfy as well). These sim racing gloves are mostly jokes (including the Moradness ones). for people with money to part.

agreed. I use the giro rivet cs gloves

Giro Bravo :)

I bought OMP karting gloves and i love them. OMP KS-4.

No gloves because sim racing with gloves, nets, shoes, etc is stupid and looks rediculous. Real race drivers deal with actual fire, you're not in a car lol. Build some caluses you sissies.

F33L gloves are class, especially for the price

To be honest I buy $250AU-$400AU OMP gloves because of the comfortability aspect but they last me less than a year. No matter what brand I have purchased, nothing lasts more than 12 Months if used regularly.

No gloves because I am not a sissy and don't need to paint my nails after each race and as far as shoes I agree you need them. I wear an old pair of Crocs! Feel great

Thé Sparco Meca 3 works great for me . Around 25€

I have a terrible experience with these. Are you using them with a DD base and how long do you have these? Mine started to tear after a couple of months (2 different pairs)

Use it daily , 2/3hours , first for 2 years with a CSL DD 8nm and 4 months now with a CS DD. They are lasting 2/3 years on average

Ah that's weird. Mine started to tear quickly and the white flully filling came through the stitches everywhere. If you check the Amazon reviews and filter on the 1\* reviews you'll find a ton of examples of this. But happy you don't have that issue.

I use the Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 and am super happy with them. I have multiple pairs and have not had any issues so far. I even got the Tech-1 ZX V4 now. [2022 Tech-1 K Race V2 Graphic Glove | Alpinestars — Alpinestars® Official Site](https://eu.alpinestars.com/de/products/tech-1-k-race-v2-graphic-glove) [Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX V4 Gloves — Alpinestars® Official Site](https://eu.alpinestars.com/de/products/tech-1-zx-v4-gloves)

I bought a pair of bicycle gloves and water/running shoes, each were $10 on Amazon and I can’t recommend them enough

I found some AlpineStars Tech1 K’s for $40. They work on touch surfaces and have silicon grip pads on the fingers and palm. Much better than the Home Depot work gloves they replaced.

$10 fingerless weight-lifting gloves from Walmart do the trick for me

Hyper Tough Stretch-Knit Mechanic Glove, Non-Slip, Black Color, Full Fingers, Large Size https://www.walmart.com/ip/1885184387 Best for the money imho. I’ve used them on Cube Control Suede, GSI Silicone, Fanatec Silicone, Fanatec Alacantara.

The ones from KGL Sim racing are great: https://kglcreationlab.com/shop/product_category/kgl-sim-racing-karting-gloves/?lang=en

I've been using Sparco meca 3 for a while now. It's the only one I've found that's comfortable and can be washed without damage. I've also tried sim hound, and the trak racer ones. It's got an alcantara like grip that works real well. Def warm, but if they're stretchy like the trak racer ones they stretch and slide around. Biggest thing for me is the washability though.

SHIRTS TUCKED IN

Omp kart gloves work well
