PCI Race Radios FIA 8856-2018 Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX V3 Gloves
$249.99

If you're serious about racing, you know how important it is to have gear that not only protects but also enhances your driving experience. That’s where the Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v3 Gloves come into play. These gloves aren’t just another piece of equipment; they’re a game changer. With nearly a 20% improvement in heat transmission, they keep your hands cooler when the pressure’s on. And let’s be honest, when you're battling it out on the track, every little bit helps.

These gloves were developed alongside some of the top drivers in F1 and Endurance racing, so you know they’ve been tested in the trenches. The dual-sided honeycomb two-layer fabric is a standout feature, giving you the perfect balance of protection and breathability. You’ll notice the difference right away—your hands won’t feel like they’re in an oven, even during those long, intense laps.

One of the coolest things about these gloves is the new 3D silicon print palm. It’s designed for grip without sacrificing feel, so you can really connect with the wheel. The pre-curved shape has been tweaked from previous versions, which means less bunching up and more comfort when you're gripping that wheel tight. And let’s not forget the sleek Black/Anthracite color scheme—it looks sharp without being flashy.

Now, if you’re wondering how to get the right fit, it’s pretty straightforward. Just wrap a measuring tape around your hand, behind the knuckles but not including the thumb. Keep it snug and measure both hands. Use the larger measurement to ensure you get the best fit possible.

Construction

  • Made from advanced, breathable, and flame-resistant honeycomb aramidic fiber, these gloves have a bonded aramidic lining to keep things comfortable and under control.
  • The 3D grip technology on the palm and fingers is ergonomically designed with silicon surface patterning, giving you flexibility and control when you need it most.

Features

  • These gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, so you know they meet the highest safety requirements.
  • External seams mean no annoying pressure points while you’re driving, just pure comfort.
  • The pre-curved fingers and palm design help reduce fatigue, so you can focus on the race rather than your hands.
  • With outer grip zones, you’ll have superb control over all the cockpit's controls.
  • And for those moments when you need to check your phone or adjust something, the thumb and second fingertip are touchscreen compatible.

So, if you're looking to step up your racing game, the Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX v3 Gloves are definitely worth considering. They blend safety, comfort, and performance in a way that few other gloves can.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.

Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
