The OMP Dijon race glove, homologated to FIA 8856-2018, in Nomex throughout. Part number IB0-0746-C01.

Retro styling with a current homologation

That combination is the whole point. The Dijon is part of OMP’s retro line, so it looks like a period glove, but it carries the current FIA standard and will pass scrutineering anywhere a modern glove will.

If you are running a historic car and want kit that suits it without compromising on safety or legality, this is the answer. A great many historic competitors end up in modern black gloves that look wrong in a period cockpit.

The cut is different from a modern glove

Mid length cuff with a straight cut and an elasticated closure, rather than a long gauntlet with a strap. That is closer to how gloves were made when these cars were new, and it is quicker to get on and off.

Suede on the palm and fingers for grip.

Colours

Black, red, navy blue, and cream and brown. The cream and brown is the one that gives the vintage look properly, and if the period aesthetic is why you are here, that is the variant to consider.

Sizes S to XL. Racing gloves should be snug with no loose material in the palm. Tell us your hand measurement.

Racing glove size guide

Glove letters are the least consistent sizing on the site. An Alpinestars M and a Sparco M are nowhere near the same glove. One measurement sorts it out, and it takes about ten seconds to take.

Measure your palm

1Wrap the tape round your knucklesAcross the widest part of your palm, at the base of the fingers. Leave the thumb out of it.

2Make a loose fistNot clenched. Just closed enough that the hand is in a driving shape.

3Use your dominant handIt is usually the slightly bigger one, and gloves are sold in pairs to one size.

4Write down both cm and inchesSome brands label in one, some in the other, and the numeric sizes are inches.

The numeric ladder is the common referenceSparco, OMP, MOMO, Sabelt and P1 all size gloves on the same numeric ladder, 4 up to 13, and Sparco and OMP both publish what each number means in centimetres. One numeric step is roughly half a centimetre of palm, not a whole size, which is why gloves are worth measuring rather than guessing.

Your size in each brand

Find your palm measurement on the left. The three main brands do not agree, and the gap is not small.

Palm (cm)	Palm (inch)	Numeric	Sparco	OMP	Alpinestars
19 – 20.5	7½ – 8	7	XXS	2XS	S
20.5 – 21.5	8 – 8½	8	XS	XS	M
21.5 – 22.5	8½ – 8.9	9	S	S	L
22.5 – 23.5	8.9 – 9.2	10	M	M	L / XL
23.5 – 24.5	9.2 – 9.6	11	L	L / XL	XL
24.5 – 25	9.6 – 9.8	12	XL	XL	XXL
25 – 25.5	9.8 – 10	13	XXL	XXL	XXL

Alpinestars run two letters bigger

Sparco and OMP put their letter row two steps up the numeric ladder, so a Sparco XS is a numeric 8. Alpinestars map their letters straight onto it, so their M is the same numeric 8. The result is that the same hand takes an Alpinestars M and a Sparco XS.

Letter	Sparco palm	OMP palm	Alpinestars palm
S	21.5 – 22.5 cm	21.6 – 22.3 cm	17.8 – 20.3 cm
M	22.5 – 23.5 cm	22.4 – 23.0 cm	20.3 – 21.6 cm
L	23.5 – 24.5 cm	23.1 – 23.7 cm	21.6 – 22.9 cm
XL	24.5 – 25.0 cm	23.8 – 24.8 cm	22.9 – 24.1 cm
XXL	25.0 – 25.5 cm	24.7 – 25.4 cm	24.1 – 25.4 cm

If you already own a pair of Sparco or OMP gloves that fit, go up roughly two letters for Alpinestars. A Sparco S is about an Alpinestars L. The two brands only converge at XXL, where both land on a ten inch palm.

Alpinestars publish measurements for S to XXL only. The XXXL on the Tech 1-ZX V3 race glove and the Tech-M V2 mechanics glove is a genuine size, it is simply not on their chart, so ring us with your palm measurement rather than working it out from the XXL row.

Sabelt and P1Both on the numeric ladder. Neither publishes a measurement chart.▼

The P1 Grip 2 is sold in 7 and 8. Read those off the numeric column in the table above, so a 7 is a 19 to 20.5 cm palm and an 8 is 20.5 to 21.5 cm.

The Sabelt Geckotech TG-11 is listed here as XS to XL. Sabelt do not publish hand measurements for it, so rather than convert from someone else’s chart, send us your palm measurement and we will confirm the size with the supplier before it ships.

How a race glove should fit

Tight, with no spare material

A driving glove wants to feel like a second skin. Any slack across the palm rolls up under your hand on the rim and you lose feel through the wheel, which is the entire reason for wearing them. If it feels slightly tight new, that is usually right. Leather and suede give a little in the first few sessions. Nomex knit does not, so buy that one to fit on day one.

External seams

The better gloves put the palm seams on the outside so nothing presses into your hand against the rim. It is worth having if you do long stints, and it is the single feature most likely to stop a hot spot developing across the base of the fingers.

Between two sizes

Take the smaller one on a leather or suede glove and the larger one on a knitted glove. That is the opposite of the advice for boots and suits, and it catches people out.

Send us your palm measurementGive us the number in centimetres and the glove you are looking at and we will confirm the letter. Gloves are the easiest thing on the site to get wrong and the most annoying to send back. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

What size should I order?
Sizes run from S to XL. Measure around your palm at the knuckles, and aim for a snug fit with no spare material at the fingertips, as loose fabric between you and the wheel costs feel. Our racing gloves guide includes sizing advice, or send us your measurement and we will confirm.

Are they legal for competition?
These gloves are homologated to FIA 8856-2018, the current FIA standard, so the label is there when scrutineers ask for it. Our racing gloves guide explains what the approvals mean.

Why do some racing gloves have external seams?
Stitching on the outside leaves the inside of the glove smooth against your skin, so there are no pressure lines on the palm or fingers over a long stint. It looks inside-out the first time you see it, and it is one of the things you are paying for as gloves get more serious.

How do I wash them?
As rarely as you can, and gently when you do: cool hand wash, no bleach or softener, air dry. Grip coatings and fire-resistant fabrics both suffer in a machine. Our racewear care guide has the full routine.
