Description
The RaceQuip 359 Series represents the pinnacle of driver comfort and safety, combining the preferred "outseam" construction of elite professionals with maximum forearm coverage. These double-layer gloves feature exterior stitching (reverse seams) that eliminates internal pressure points against the fingers. This specific design is the standard in top-tier series like NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA because it provides an unhindered "feel" for the steering wheel, allowing for micro-adjustments during high-speed maneuvers.
Constructed from two layers of high-quality knit Nomex®, the 359 Series exceeds SFI 3.3/5 safety ratings. What sets this series apart is the extra-long, angle-cut gauntlet, which offers an extended thermal barrier and ensures a secure overlap with race suit sleeves. The palms are outfitted with high-grip, supple black suede leather for superior vibration dampening and control, while mitered fingers provide a precise, anatomical fit.

Important Safety Information
In high-stakes motorsports, hand and arm protection are critical components of your safety cell. While Nomex is a premier fire-retardant material, all racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant" rather than "fireproof." These RaceQuip 359 Series gloves are specialized equipment designed to provide a vital window of escape time in the event of a fire. To ensure maximum safety and steering precision, please consult the official RaceQuip sizing chart to verify that a Small is the correct fit for your hand measurements.
