The OMP Pro Mech is an FIA 8856-2018 approved mechanics glove for pitlane work. The Nomex construction has padded impact protection across the knuckles and between the thumb and forefinger, where tools and components catch the most force. The palm uses a silicone grip print rather than leather or suede, which maintains grip in wet or damp conditions without stiffening the material. Hi-vis yellow accents are built into the design for visibility during refuelling and other pitlane operations. Part number IB/758E.

For sanctioned motorsport pitlane operations where FIA-approved flame-retardant gloves are required, the Pro Mech is the correct choice. For general workshop and crew use without a formal FIA requirement, the OMP Mechanic Short Technical Gloves at £8 cover the basics at far lower cost. Available in Black, sizes S to XL.

At £123.85 these are professional-grade gloves. The price reflects the FIA approval and the padded construction. If you are fitting out a team for a regulated event, they are what the regulation requires.

Crew and mechanics wear size guide

Pit and workshop kit is sized on the same ladders as driver kit, so if you already know your race suit or glove size you know this too. The one thing to watch is that overalls come in two systems: Sparco use letters and OMP use the numeric ladder.

Overalls

Sparco MS-4 and MS-5, and the Proban suitLetters, XS to XXL.▼
Letter Equivalent Chest (cm) Waist (cm)
XS 44 / 46 86 – 93 74 – 81
S 48 / 50 94 – 101 82 – 87
M 52 / 54 102 – 109 88 – 97
L 56 / 58 110 – 117 98 – 105
XL 60 / 62 118 – 125 106 – 113
XXL 64 / 66 126 – 133 114 – 121

These are the bands from Sparco’s own body size chart, which is what their letters follow. The OMP Proban race suit is also sold S to XXL and uses the same pattern.

OMP Summer and Blast EvoNumeric, 44 to 64. The same ladder as OMP race suits.▼
Size Chest (cm) Waist (cm) Height (cm)
44 87 – 91 71 – 75 155 – 165
46 91 – 95 75 – 79 158 – 170
48 95 – 99 79 – 83 165 – 175
50 99 – 103 83 – 87 170 – 180
52 103 – 107 87 – 91 170 – 183
54 107 – 111 91 – 95 177 – 187
56 111 – 115 95 – 99 182 – 190
58 115 – 119 99 – 103 185 – 195
60 119 – 123 103 – 107 187 – 198
62 123 – 127 107 – 111 190 – 200
64 127 – 131 111 – 115 190 – 200
Mechanics overalls are meant to be roomierUnlike a race suit, you want room to crouch, reach and kneel in these all day. If you are between two sizes take the larger one, which is the opposite of the advice for a driving suit.

Gloves

Measure around your knuckles, across the widest part of the palm, leaving the thumb out.

Letter Numeric Sparco palm (cm) OMP palm (cm)
XS 8 20.5 – 21.5 20.8 – 21.5
S 9 21.5 – 22.5 21.6 – 22.3
M 10 22.5 – 23.5 22.4 – 23
L 11 23.5 – 24.5 23.1 – 23.7
XL 12 24.5 – 25 23.8 – 24.8
XXL 13 25 – 25.5 24.7 – 25.4

Sparco and OMP agree within half a centimetre throughout. A mechanics glove should be a little looser than a driving glove so you can get it on and off quickly with dirty hands, so if you are on a boundary take the larger.

Shoes

The Sparco Fast and Chrono mechanics shoes use the standard Sparco ladder. Measure heel to longest toe, standing, and work from the bigger foot.

EU UK Foot length
37 4 24.3 cm
38 5 25.0 cm
39 5.5 25.7 cm
40 6.5 26.3 cm
41 7 27.0 cm
42 8 27.7 cm
43 9 28.3 cm
44 9.5 29.0 cm
45 10.5 29.6 cm
46 11 30.3 cm
47 12 31.0 cm
48 13 31.6 cm

The Alpinestars Radar V2 mechanics shoe uses the Alpinestars ladder instead, which carries half sizes Sparco does not: UK 7 is an EU 40.5, UK 9.5 is an EU 43.5 and UK 11 is an EU 45.5. Go by the UK size on that one. It also runs up to UK 14.

Shorts

The Sparco Bermuda cargo shorts run S to XXL on the same letter bands as the overalls above, sized on your waist rather than your chest.

A note on approvals

Some of this category is FIA 8856-2018 approved and some is not. The Sparco Tide Meca and R-Meca gloves, the OMP Pro Mech gloves and the Sparco Fast and Chrono shoes carry the driver-standard approval, which matters if you are working on a refuelling stop. The Workshop EVO gloves, the cargo shorts and the MS-4 and MS-5 overalls are workshop kit. The approval is listed on every product page.

What size should I order?
Sizes run from S to XL. Crew kit gets worn over normal clothes for long days, so if you are between sizes, take the larger one for comfort. Ask us if you want measurements checked before ordering.

Is this pit-lane legal?
It is homologated to FIA 8856-2018, the fire-resistance standard, which is what series that require fireproof crew kit for refuelling and live pit work look for. Check your series regulations for exactly who on the crew needs it.

How do I wash it?
Cool and gentle, no bleach or fabric softener, air dry. That preserves any fire-resistant treatment and keeps embroidery and badges in shape season after season.
