Description
The RaceQuip 355 Series auto racing gloves are engineered to provide a professional balance of fire protection and tactile steering response, even in smaller sizing. These gloves are constructed from a soft, double-layer knit Nomex, allowing them to achieve a rigorous SFI 3.3/5 safety rating. The design is centered around a high-grip black suede reinforced leather palm, offering a premium feel and superior control compared to standard entry-level racing gloves.
RaceQuip has prioritized driver ergonomics in the 355 Series; the knuckle pads and palm reinforcements are attached to the Nomex backing in a strategic manner that promotes natural hand flexibility and dexterity. To ensure longevity, extra leather reinforcement is added to the high-wear zone between the index finger and the thumb. The gloves are finished with a standard length gauntlet and a secure hook-and-loop adjuster strap on the back to provide a tailored, stay-put fit in the cockpit.

Important Safety Information
While Nomex is a high-performance fire-retardant material, all racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant" rather than "fireproof." These RaceQuip 355 Series gloves are critical safety equipment designed to provide a vital window of protection in the event of a fire. For the highest level of safety and precision, verify your hand measurements against the official RaceQuip sizing chart to confirm that an X-Small is the appropriate fit for your hands.
