Description
The RaceQuip 355 Series Youth SFI 3.3/5 Racing Gloves are engineered to provide maximum thermal protection and a superior grip for the youngest competitors in motorsports. Sized in Kids 2X-Small (K6), these gloves are purpose-built for the specific needs of NHRA Junior Dragster and Quarter Midget racers. Constructed from soft, double-layer knit Nomex®, these gloves carry an SFI-5 rating, ensuring professional-grade fire resistance for youth drivers.
To ensure total control at the wheel, the 355 Series features a high-grip black suede leather reinforced palm. The knuckle pads and palm reinforcements are attached to the Nomex® backing in a specialized pattern that promotes flexibility and reduces hand fatigue.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The RaceQuip 355 Series SFI 3.3/5 gloves are a critical safety component designed to protect hands and wrists from thermal transfer. For optimal protection, ensure the gauntlet is positioned correctly over the sleeves of the racing jacket to eliminate skin exposure. To maintain the performance of the suede palms, keep the gloves free from oils, grease, and fuel. If cleaning is necessary, hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry to maintain the integrity of the Nomex® fibers and leather. Regularly inspect the gloves for any signs of seam failure or excessive wear before each event.
