OMP First-S Race Gloves The OMP First-S Race Gloves combine dependable fire-resistant protection, secure steering-wheel grip, and everyday comfort in an affordable competition glove. Updated to meet the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, the First-S is designed for drivers who want modern safety and straightforward performance without stepping into a premium price category. Silicone printing across the palms and fingers improves traction and control, while redesigned finger inserts provide a closer, more comfortable fit. A straight-cut cuff with an elasticated wrist allows quick entry and keeps the glove securely positioned throughout each session. Affordable FIA-Approved Performance The OMP First-S is built for drivers who need certified protection and reliable control at a practical price. Its lightweight construction focuses on the features that matter most behind the wheel: grip, comfort, flexibility, and current FIA approval. This makes the First-S a strong choice for drivers replacing older equipment or purchasing their first pair of FIA-homologated racing gloves. Silicone Palm and Finger Grip Silicone printing is applied across the palm and fingers to create a secure connection with the steering wheel. The low-profile grip pattern improves traction without adding the bulk of a separate reinforcement layer. Extending the silicone onto the fingers also improves control of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and other cockpit controls. Improved Finger Inserts Redesigned finger inserts help the glove follow the natural shape of the hand more closely. The improved construction reduces excess material and supports better comfort around the fingers during repeated steering inputs. A more precise fit can also improve dexterity and reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions. Comfort for Extended Track Use The OMP First-S is designed to remain comfortable through repeated laps and long track days. Its lightweight materials allow natural hand movement while minimizing unnecessary pressure and bulk. The close-fitting construction helps the driver maintain a relaxed grip rather than squeezing the wheel excessively to stay in control. Straight-Cut Elasticated Wrist A straight-cut cuff gives the First-S a clean, traditional appearance and allows easy overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. The elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening also makes the gloves quick and easy to put on or remove between sessions. Modern OMP Styling The OMP First-S features updated graphics and is available in multiple color options. Drivers can coordinate the gloves with OMP suits, shoes, helmets, and other racing equipment for a consistent competition look. FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection The OMP First-S Race Gloves are homologated to FIA 8856-2018, the current standard for fire-resistant driver clothing used in many forms of automobile competition. Drivers should always confirm the exact equipment requirements of their sanctioning organization before entering an event.
