Alpinestars. Feel like form fitted pajamas! Probably the only better feeling glove is the Stand21. I've tried just about every type except Stand21 and just love my Alpinestars.

I've always been a no glove guy. I do have a pair of Puma driving gloves signed by Patrick Long that feel very nice but I can't say I've ever worn them outside of the house

God forbit I ever experience a fire in the cabin but if it happens I want the most protection for my hands available. I use Oakley gloves simply because they're made with Carbon X which resists flames and temperatures a lot better than Nomex....

+1. I'm of the mindset of better safe than sorry in this circumstance. But I'm also one of the guys that will be fully suited up at a track day. Not much point of having gloves with no other fire retardant gear on. Right now I run Alpinestars gloves and definitely like them. Just picked up some CarbonX underwear from Oakley as well. So far it seems good, no hotter than Nomex.

My daughter swears by the Oakley Carbon X. 100% better than the Alpinestars that she said started to show wear after 3 track days. The Alpinestars gave her blisters after 20 min. sprint races. No blisters with the Oakleys even after 1 hour enduros.
For me.. anything in red.

Which ones did she have? I have the Tech 1-ZX (their top of the line) and it has been an amazing glove. I have many DE's and club races under my belt with them and they still look new. Most comfortable glove I have ever worn (and I've gone through many).

Ps - I have stand 21 - not porsche collection - exterior seamed, very comfy and hardy
