Alpinestars Tech-M V2 Mechanics Gloves, Black

A comfortable glove designed for high-pressure pit work, offering flame, heat and impact protection with FIA 8856-2018 approval. The Tech-M V2 combines aramid fibre construction, impact-absorbing zones and reinforced grip areas to improve safety and performance during critical tyre changes.The following features highlight the protective technologies and performance benefits built into the glove:Bonded aramid fibre main construction: Flame-resistant aramid fibres are bonded for improved comfort, thermal protection and durability, reducing heat transfer and risk of burns during prolonged contact with hot components.Silicone FRR coated impact zones: Silicone-coated flame-retardant rubber panels over knuckles and fingers are layered with energy-absorbing foam to minimise the effect of accidental knocks and direct wheel gun recoil, helping reduce hand fatigue and injury risk.Reinforced aramid thumb-to-finger patch: A Kevlar-reinforced aramid patch is integrated between thumb and index finger to resist wear and improve abrasion resistance under constant wheel gun use, extending glove life and preserving hand protection.Textured leather palm overlays: Abrasion-resistant leather is strategically placed on the palm to increase grip and shock absorption, maintaining better control of tools and improving confidence under load.Pre-curved finger and palm shaping: Ergonomic shaping throughout the glove helps reduce material bunching and strain when gripping impact tools, supporting comfort and dexterity during repeated pit stop tasks.180° elasticated wrist opening with silicone pull tab: The cuff design offers a tight, secure fit with easy glove removal even when hands are sweaty or under time pressure, ensuring fast transitions and consistent fit.Fully embroidered graphics: Stitched branding improves durability over printed alternatives, avoiding peeling or degradation from repeated washing or wear.FIA 8856-2018 approved: Full homologation ensures compliance with safety standards for use in environments requiring certified flame and heat protection.During high-pressure pit stops where you're handling hot components and operating wheel guns at speed, these gloves help protect your hands from impact, heat and flame exposure. The impact-absorbing zones cushion shock from tool recoil, while the aramid construction shields against high surface temperatures and brief flame contact. Reinforced grip areas give you consistent gun control when positioning or removing wheel nuts under load. The pre-curved shaping and secure fit help you stay focused and efficient without distraction.If you need reliable protection during race car pit work, this glove delivers heat resistance, impact cushioning and grip support in a certified, race-legal design. It helps you stay safe and comfortable while keeping your focus on completing fast, clean pit stop tasks.FIA 8856-2018 approved
