Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does SFI 3.3/5 mean for racing gloves?
A: SFI 3.3/5 is the certification standard for multi-layer racing gloves. It specifies minimum flame resistance and thermal protection requirements. Most sanctioning bodies that require certified gloves accept SFI 3.3/5.
Q: How do I measure for the correct RaceQuip glove size?
A: Make a fist and measure the circumference of your hand over the knuckles, excluding the thumb. K8 youth small fits 5 to 6 inches. See the full RaceQuip size chart for all youth sizes.
Q: Are these gloves legal for NHRA competition?
A: The 3550092 carries SFI 3.3/5 certification accepted by NHRA. Always verify glove requirements for your specific class in the current rulebook.
Q: Are these only for junior drivers?
A: The K8 youth small sizing is intended for junior competitors. Adult drivers with smaller hands may also find this size appropriate if it fits correctly.
Q: How do I care for my RaceQuip racing gloves?
A: Hand wash gently with mild soap and cool water. Air dry flat. Do not machine wash or place in a dryer. Avoid exposure to petroleum products or chemicals which can degrade the SFI-certified materials.
Q: Do racing gloves expire like harnesses?
A: SFI glove certifications do not carry the same two-year expiration as harnesses. However, gloves should be inspected regularly and replaced if the fabric shows signs of wear, burns, or contamination that could compromise protection.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: RaceQuip covers the 3550092 under their standard limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can these gloves be used for karting?
A: Yes. SFI 3.3/5 gloves are widely used in karting in addition to drag racing and oval track competition. Verify your specific karting series rules for glove certification requirements.
