Wet weather shouldn't sideline your young racer — and with the Alpinestars Tempest V3 Waterproof S Gloves, it won't. Sized specifically for smaller hands, the Tempest V3 S brings the same race-proven construction as its full-size counterpart, scaled to fit junior drivers and smaller-statured racers without sacrificing a single feature.
At the core is a three-layer build: a windproof, durable ripstop outer shell sheds wind and rain on contact, while an internal waterproof membrane blocks moisture from working its way through during extended wet-race conditions. A soft micro-fleece lining rounds out the package, keeping hands warm and comfortable when temperatures drop. Cold, stiff hands lose feel — this glove is designed to prevent exactly that.
The strategically positioned silicone palm print provides exceptional grip and tactile feedback through the steering wheel, even when things get slippery. Pre-curved fingers and a pre-curved palm construction ensure a natural hand position that reduces fatigue over long stints, while the straight-cut gauntlet cuff with 180° elasticated wrist and adjustable Velcro strap locks everything in place cleanly and securely.
Certified to the FIA 8877-2022 homologation standard, the Tempest V3 S is competition-legal for organized karting events and club racing. Whether you're suiting up a junior driver for their first wet race or looking for a properly fitting glove for smaller adult hands, this is the one to reach for.
