Just ordered these gloves for my next track day:


Alpinestars Tech 1 Start (Black)

They're FIA approved and seemed to have a reasonable price (£62/€77). :smiley:

Oooh, get you! :P

My not proper one takes up a lot less room, which is the main reason I got it. I dunno how they managed it, but the builders of my house managed to give it a 16'x16' kitchen with eff all storage space! Ideally, I'd like to get it remodelled, but fear the bill I'll end up with...

I much prefer the milwaukee red lithium ion range over makita and I've had both.

Collection now at 4"grinder, impact gun and drill and since the batteries are interchangeable I now have 6 batteries on the go at any one time!
