The ITALIA Story

The -273 ITALIA karting gloves are -273’s tribute to the country that makes karting what it is — these colorways are iconic in karting and motorsport more broadly, drawing on the kind of liveries and color combinations that have defined the sport for generations.

Construction

Built with external seam construction, the ITALIA moves the stitching to the outside of the glove rather than the inside — removing the seam lines that would otherwise sit against your palm and fingers, for a cleaner, less bulky contact point with the wheel. Combined with a bonded, layered, textured upper, ITALIA karting gloves offer the same fitted, conforming character -273 is known for, but tuned for a more controlled, race-ready feel — less stretch-to-fit, more precision-fit.

Performance

The pre-curved, fully perforated palm features a color-matched silicone texture engineered for grip, paired with -273’s exclusive perforation pattern for ventilation and a continuous dry-fit through long stints on track. A fully sublimated graphic treatment carries the bold ITALIA colorway through the entire upper without adding weight or restricting the four-way stretch poly-spandex fabric’s flexibility — because in karting, every gram matters.

Also available in: Blue/Tricolore · Navy/White/Red

Fit note: -273 gloves run on the smaller side. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Please check our Size Guide carefully before ordering.
