RaceQuip Racing Gloves: Certified Protection at Every Level of Motorsport
When it comes to hand protection behind the wheel, RaceQuip has spent decades earning the trust of drivers from local dirt ovals to professional circuits. Founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1975, RaceQuip built its name on manufacturing high-quality auto racing safety equipment at a great value. That philosophy carries directly into their racing gloves lineup — a range that balances real-world durability, certified fire resistance, and a fit that doesn't compromise feedback at the steering wheel.
SFI-Certified Nomex Construction
Every serious RaceQuip racing glove starts with Nomex® — the industry-standard flame-resistant fiber used across professional motorsport. The RaceQuip 355 Series, for example, is a soft double-layer knit Nomex® SFI-5 rated glove whose high-grip black suede reinforced leather palm gives it a distinctive look and feel, with knuckle pad and palm reinforcements that attach to the Nomex® back in a way that promotes flexibility. Extra leather has been added between the index finger and thumb in the high-wear area, and the glove features a standard-length gauntlet with an adjustable hook-and-loop closure on the back to ensure a proper fit.
For drivers seeking an entry point into certified protection, the RaceQuip 350 Series is a basic entry-level, one-layer, Nomex back, white leather palm auto racing glove that meets the basic glove requirement with some motorsports groups. Meanwhile, the two-layer MOD racing gloves join two layers of soft knit Nomex® with a full leather palm featuring a long gauntlet SFI-5 rating, with mitered fingers providing unmatched comfort, feel, and steering wheel grip.
Key Features That Set RaceQuip Gloves Apart
Racing gloves need to stand up to intense friction, heat, and impact while maintaining grip lap after lap — RaceQuip addresses this with abrasion-resistant leather palms and reinforced Nomex stitching so the gloves won't fall apart mid-race. Silicone finger strips are also incorporated to maintain grip as the leather wears over time.
- SFI 3.3/5 Rating: Gloves carry the SFI 3.3 label indicating they passed this standard for flame resistance and durability.
- Suede Leather Palm: For drivers who like a more natural feel on the steering wheel, the suede leather palm enhances grip without being "too sticky".
- Youth Sizing Available: RaceQuip 355 Series Youth auto racing gloves are a soft double-layer knit Nomex® SFI-5 rated glove with a high-grip black suede reinforced leather palm.
- Broad Size Range: Gloves are available in Black, Red, or Blue in sizes X-Small to 3X-Large, as well as Kid's Sizes Small to Large.
Value Without Compromise
RaceQuip gear is built around the certifications racers actually need — SFI-rated apparel that meets sanctioned motorsports requirements — while being positioned as a value-forward safety brand delivering reliable protection at an approachable price. In 2022, Holley Performance Products acquired RaceQuip, adding institutional backing to what had already become one of the most recognized names in grassroots motorsport safety. Whether you're suiting up for your first autocross, running a local oval series, or chasing podiums in wheel-to-wheel competition, RaceQuip's racing gloves deliver the certified protection and steering feel that serious drivers demand.
