The Sparco Tide racing glove is a premium FIA-certified glove that delivers professional-grade grip, comfort, and touchscreen compatibility for serious motorsport competition. Designed with input from Sparco's extensive racing experience, the Tide glove features revolutionary technologies that enhance driver control and reduce fatigue during demanding track sessions.
3D HTX Palm Technology:
The palm and fingers feature Sparco's exclusive 3D HTX material, a revolutionary surface treatment that utilizes hollow volcano-shaped structures to provide exceptional grip and shock absorption. These cone-shaped elements vary in size and are strategically positioned based on wear patterns, with higher peaks in high-stress areas. The HTX material delivers maximum grip on both suede and leather steering wheels while absorbing vibrations transmitted through the wheel, significantly reducing driver fatigue during extended sessions.
