Frequently Asked Questions About the PB1 Gloves
Why should I wear gloves for sim racing?
Sim racing gloves improve your grip on the steering wheel and help you maintain precise control during long sessions. They also reduce direct contact between perspiration and the wheel, helping protect its surface from premature wear.
Are the PB1 gloves compatible with all sim racing wheels?
The PB1 gloves are suitable for most sim racing steering wheels, including those covered in Alcantara, suede, leather or synthetic materials. Their high-grip microfiber palm provides reliable control, including when using Direct Drive wheels.
Do the PB1 gloves help protect Alcantara steering wheels?
Yes. Wearing gloves reduces direct contact between the Alcantara and perspiration or the natural oils present on your hands. This helps preserve the material’s appearance and feel for longer.
How do I choose the correct size?
Please consult our size guide and measure your hand as indicated. The PB1 gloves should fit closely enough to provide precise control without restricting your hand or finger movements.
Can I use a touchscreen while wearing the PB1 gloves?
Yes. The index finger, middle finger and thumb are touchscreen compatible. Reinforced conductive stitching on the index and middle fingers improves touchscreen response while helping reduce wear caused by gear-shift paddles.
