Karting Gloves for Grip, Feel and Protection

Karting gloves have to do two things at once. They protect the hands in a discipline where the driver can be thrown clear of an open chassis, and they hold grip on a wheel that has no power assistance and transmits every kerb and bump straight to the palms. That is why karting gloves are built with padded or silicone printed palms, reinforced knuckles and short cuffs that sit under the suit sleeve, and why they are homologated by the CIK-FIA for abrasion resistance rather than for fire. We supply karting gloves in cadet, junior and senior sizes for club racers, rental drivers and parents kitting out a young driver, and we deliver across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide.

What This Collection Covers

• CIK-FIA homologated race gloves: competition gloves carrying the karting homologation clubs and organisers look for.
• Cadet and junior gloves: youth sizing with the same palm protection scaled to smaller hands.
• Padded palm gloves: extra padding across the palm and base of the thumb for long stints and rough surfaces.
• Silicone and rubber grip gloves: printed or moulded grip patterns for wet weather and sweaty conditions.
• Practice and rental gloves: hard wearing everyday gloves for testing, coaching and arrive and drive sessions.
• Wet weather gloves: constructions that keep grip when the wheel and the gloves are soaked.
• Inner and liner gloves: thin under gloves that reduce blistering on long race days.

Why It Matters

Kart steering is direct and heavy, with no assistance and no damping, so the hands take a constant workload that most road and circuit drivers never experience. Gloves that grip properly let a driver hold the wheel lightly instead of squeezing it, which delays arm fatigue and keeps steering inputs clean at the end of a stint. The protective side matters just as much: hands are usually the first thing to hit the ground, and a homologated glove keeps the palm intact where a fashion or work glove would not. Blisters are the other quiet performance killer, and they come almost entirely from gloves that fit badly.

How to Choose the Right Karting Gloves

Fit first. A karting glove should be snug with no loose fabric across the palm and no spare length at the fingertips, because slack material is what causes blisters and dulls feel through the wheel. Measure the hand width across the knuckles and the length from wrist to fingertip, and remember junior hands grow fast, so check the fit at the start of each season rather than assuming last year's pair still works. Then choose the grip type by conditions: silicone printed palms suit heat and humidity, and heavier padding suits bumpy circuits and long stints. Send us the hand measurements, the driver age and the class. WhatsApp us on +971 50 308 5760 or send us an inquiry and we will confirm sizing and stock.

Shipping and Availability

We deliver karting gloves across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide. Common sizes are usually in ready stock and ship quickly, and because gloves are light they are one of the easier items to send internationally. Less common sizes, team colours and personalised pairs are sourced to order, with the lead time and the price confirmed before payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick the right size, and what do you need from me?
Send the hand width measured across the knuckles, the length from the wrist crease to the middle fingertip, and the driver age. Tell us the class as well, since junior categories usually require gloves carrying the current CIK-FIA karting homologation rather than general purpose gloves.

Can I use car racing gloves for karting?
They are different products. Car racing gloves are homologated for flame resistance and karting gloves for abrasion resistance and grip, and a karting scrutineer will look for the karting standard. If you compete in both, you will need a pair for each.

Do you ship to India and outside the UAE?
Yes. We deliver across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide, with tracked shipping and the cost confirmed before you order.

Are these genuine gloves?
Yes. Every pair is genuine equipment from an established motorsport clothing manufacturer with its homologation label intact. We do not sell unbranded copies or gloves with labels we cannot verify.

What if my size or colour is not shown?
We can usually get it. Send us an inquiry with the size, the colour and the class and we will confirm the price and how long it will take.

Cannot see the pair you want here? We can source almost any karting glove, in youth or adult sizing and in team colours. WhatsApp us on +971 50 308 5760 or send us an inquiry with the size and the class it is for, and we will come back with a price and a lead time.
