Designed as an entry-level driving glove, the 350006 delivers genuine Nomex fire-resistant protection without the premium price of an SFI-rated glove, making it an accessible choice for drivers who want improved grip and basic thermal protection at track days and non-sanctioned events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Nomex Gloves Matter for Track Days and Competition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNomex is a meta-aramid fiber developed specifically for high-heat environments. Unlike standard leather or textile gloves, Nomex does not melt or drip when exposed to sudden heat or flame, which is a critical distinction in an automotive environment where fuel, oil, and hot surfaces are present. For drivers participating in track days, autocross, time attack, or high-performance driving events (HPDE), wearing Nomex gloves provides a meaningful layer of thermal protection for the hands, which are among the most exposed body parts in a cockpit emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond fire resistance, Nomex gloves contribute to grip quality. The leather palm reinforcement on the 350 Series reduces slippage on a steering wheel, improving tactile feedback and control during aggressive driving. Even for drivers who will never experience a fire event, the grip and durability benefits alone justify the upgrade from standard street gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction Detail\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 350006 is built with a single-layer Nomex knit construction on the back of the glove, providing flame-resistant coverage across the dorsal surface of the hand. The palm is reinforced with white leather, chosen for its durability, breathability, and steering wheel grip characteristics. The single-layer build keeps the glove lightweight and flexible, preserving the tactile sensitivity that drivers need when working the wheel, shifter, and controls. Hook-and-loop wrist closure provides a secure, adjustable fit to keep the glove in place during spirited driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNon-SFI Rating Disclaimer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 350006 carries \u003cstrong\u003eno SFI rating\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The brand's product line spans racing suits, helmets, gloves, shoes, arm restraints, harnesses, and head restraints, covering the full spectrum of driver safety needs from entry-level club racing to professional competition. RaceQuip products are sold through authorized dealers and distributors across North America and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 350006 have an SFI rating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The 350006 is constructed from Nomex, which is an inherently flame-resistant fiber, but the glove itself does not carry an SFI 3.3\/1 or any other SFI certification. It is a non-SFI glove. Drivers who need an SFI-rated glove for a sanctioned event should look at RaceQuip's 351 Series or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Nomex and leather racing gloves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNomex is a meta-aramid synthetic fiber that resists ignition, does not melt, and self-extinguishes. Leather by itself is not flame-resistant in the same way. A Nomex glove provides thermal protection that a standard leather glove cannot match. The 350006 combines both: a Nomex knit back for flame resistance and a leather palm for grip and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat events can I wear the 350006 at?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 350006 is appropriate for track days, HPDE sessions, autocross, time attack, and any non-sanctioned event that does not mandate SFI-rated gloves. It is not permitted in sanctioned races (NHRA, NASCAR, SCCA, NASA, and similar series) that require SFI 3.3\/1 or better. Always confirm the glove requirements with your specific event organizer or sanctioning body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose the right size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo find your glove size, measure the circumference of your dominant hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand flat. Compare that measurement to RaceQuip's published glove size chart. The 350006 is the X-Large size. If you are between sizes, RaceQuip generally recommends sizing up for comfort, though a racing glove should fit snugly without restricting movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I wash or care for these gloves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is the recommended approach for Nomex gloves. Avoid machine washing on hot cycles, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the Nomex fibers and reduce their flame-resistant properties over time. Air dry flat. Do not tumble dry on high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the package include one glove or two?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 350006 includes a full pair: one left-hand glove and one right-hand glove, sold together as a set of two gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the left and right gloves different, or are they the same glove on each hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, racing gloves are typically handed, meaning the left and right gloves are cut and sewn to fit their respective hand. The 350006 ships as a matched left\/right pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"Non-SFI\" actually mean, and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSFI (SFI Foundation Inc.) is an independent organization that tests and certifies motorsports safety equipment against specific performance standards. An SFI 3.3\/1 glove rating means the glove has passed standardized tests for heat resistance and protection time. A non-SFI glove like the 350006 has not been submitted for or has not passed that certification process, even if the materials used (such as Nomex) are genuinely flame-resistant. Sanctioning bodies use SFI certification as a verifiable, standardized benchmark for required safety gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the 350006 for karting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 350006 can be used for recreational and club karting where glove requirements are minimal. However, competitive karting series that mandate specific ratings may require a certified glove. Check with your karting organization's rulebook before using any non-rated glove in competition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Racequip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45948272148559,"sku":"RQP350006","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/racequip-350006-black-xl-racing-gloves.png?v=1782236658","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/racequip-350006-350-series-basic-race-gloves-non-sfi-black-x-large","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
