Sync Mesh Gloves Buyer’s Guide

Sync Mesh make sim racing gloves. That’s it. No wheelbases, no pedals, no cockpits – just gloves designed specifically for sim racers, by sim racers. Based in Denmark, they’ve built a reputation in the community for producing genuinely well-made, purpose-built gloves at prices that won’t make you wince. If you’re looking at sim racing gloves and wondering whether a dedicated glove brand is worth it over repurposed motorsport kit, this is the guide for you.

Sync Mesh gloves range from around $30 for their entry-level N7R1 line up to about $77 for the flagship M-PRO. They ship to the EU, UK, US and Canada. The whole range is sim-specific – outside stitching, silicone grip patterns, pre-curved palms, moisture-wicking fabric. No repurposed cycling gloves here.

Why Sync Mesh?

Look, the sim racing glove market has historically been a bit of a mess. You’d either buy motorsport gloves that were overbuilt and overpriced for sim use, or you’d grab some cheap cycling gloves and hope for the best. Sync Mesh spotted that gap. They’re a Danish company that designs gloves specifically for what we actually do – grip a wheel, press buttons, and sit in a chair for hours. That’s a different set of requirements to actual motorsport.

The engineering decisions reflect this. Outside stitching means no seams pressing into your palms during long stints. The silicone grip patterns are tuned for rubber and PU-based wheel rims, not leather racing wheels. Pre-curved palms reduce hand fatigue because your fingers aren’t fighting a flat glove all session. And the materials – 85% polyester, 10% silicone, 5% nylon on the M2X line – are chosen for breathability and moisture management rather than fire resistance. Because, well, you’re not on fire.

Community Sentiment

From the YouTube reviews I’ve watched, the consensus is genuinely positive. ThisKory Racing gave the M2X a 9 out of 10, with the only real criticism being some fingertip stitching that could be tighter. Race Beyond Matter compared them against actual FIA-rated gloves and rated them highly for comfort and grip – which says something when you’re benchmarking against kit designed for real cars. The store itself has a 4.92 rating from over 200 reviews.

The honest caveat? Breathability isn’t quite as good as perforated leather alternatives. But what I’ve read suggests they dry faster, which matters more for sim racers doing back-to-back sessions. If you want something with maximum airflow, you might prefer a mesh-heavy motorsport glove. For everything else, Sync Mesh delivers.

Flagship Gloves

Grip M-PRO

The M-PRO is Sync Mesh’s top-tier glove and, from what I’ve read, the one most competitive sim racers gravitate towards. It’s built on user feedback from earlier models, with improved outside stitching, enhanced silicone grip patterns, and what they call their Syncmesh ventilation technology. At around $71 for a single pair, it sits in that sweet spot where you’re getting genuinely premium construction without paying motorsport prices.

The M-PRO also has a Low Fuel Motorsport collaboration version – the M-PRO LFM – which is essentially the same glove with LFM branding at $77. If you race on LFM, it’s a nice touch. If you don’t, the standard M-PRO is identical in terms of performance.

• Upgraded silicone grip patterns
• Pre-curved palm with improved outside stitching
• Moisture-wicking technology
• Touchscreen-compatible index finger
• Available in Black, White, and Yellow colourways

Grip M2X

The M2X is the mid-range workhorse and arguably the most popular glove in the Sync Mesh lineup. It’s the one that most YouTube reviewers have tested, and the 9/10 rating from ThisKory was specifically for this model. Made from 85% polyester, 10% silicone, and 5% nylon, it hits a good balance between grip performance and all-day comfort. Six colourways available, so you can match your rig or your team colours.

The M2X shares most of the M-PRO’s construction DNA – outside stitching, pre-curved palm, silicone grip – but at a lower price point starting around $60. The practical difference between the M2X and M-PRO is subtle. Community feedback suggests the M-PRO has slightly better ventilation and a more refined fit, but the M2X is where most people land and stay happy.

• 85% Polyester, 10% Silicone, 5% Nylon
• Upgraded silicone printing for enhanced grip
• Improved fit around fingers
• Pre-curved palm with reinforced fabric
• 6 colourways: Midnight, Blaze, Nebula, Azure, and more

The Full Range

Beyond the M-PRO and M2X, Sync Mesh offers a few more options that cover different use cases. The full catalogue runs from entry-level racing gloves through to a mechanic’s glove for rig building, plus some bundles if you want to stock up.

N7R1 – Entry Level

At $32.49, the N7R1 is Sync Mesh’s entry point and it’s actually quite interesting. The palm uses the same M2X-grade silicone grip as the mid-range gloves, so you’re not sacrificing grip quality by going cheaper. The backhand is 90% polyester and 10% nylon – lighter and more breathable than the M2X. Three colourways with bold graphics aimed at a younger, streamer-friendly audience. Velcro cuff, touchscreen pad, pre-curved palm – all the essentials are here.

The trade-off versus the M2X? Less refined fit, simpler construction, and the overall feel is a step down. But for the price, it’s a solid first sim racing glove. If you’re trying gloves for the first time and don’t want to commit $70, start here.

S2X – Budget Mid-Range

Sitting between the N7R1 and M2X, the S2X line starts at around $45. These use a different material blend – 45% polyester, 40% nylon, 15% spandex – which gives them more stretch and a snugger fit. They’re positioned as the “gateway” glove for racers who want something better than entry-level without jumping straight to the M2X. Reinforced thumb joint and touch screen compatibility included.

RIGMEX – The Mechanic’s Glove

This is a clever product. The RIGMEX is designed for rig builders who also race – so it’s a mechanic’s glove that doubles as a sim racing glove. Reinforced index finger for tool use, durable palm fabric that resists friction, and a reinforced thumb-index joint where most gloves wear out first. At $43.99, it’s actually a practical choice if you’re constantly tweaking your setup between sessions. Material composition is 45% polyester, 40% nylon, 10% spandex, and 5% velcro closure.

Which Glove Is Right For You?

Well, it depends on what you need. Here’s how I’d break it down based on what I’ve read and the community feedback:

Just getting started with gloves? The N7R1 at $32 is a no-brainer first purchase. Same silicone grip as the premium models, and if you decide gloves aren’t for you, you haven’t lost much. The TRIO pack at $92 gets you all three colourways with a 20% saving.

Want the best balance of quality and value? The M2X is where most people end up, and for good reason. $60-74 depending on colourway, and reviewers consistently rate it 9/10 or higher. If you’re racing regularly and want something that’ll last, this is the sweet spot.

Competitive racer who wants the best? The M-PRO at $71 is only marginally more than some M2X colourways, so the price gap is small. Better ventilation, refined fit, and if you race LFM, the collaboration version is worth a look.

Build your own rig? The RIGMEX at $44 is genuinely useful. Most of us have separate work gloves and racing gloves – this handles both.

Sync Mesh also does bundles – the M2X Color Trio (pick any three colourways, 20% off) and the M-PRO Duo Pack (both colourways, 25% off) – which are worth considering if you know you’ll rotate gloves between sessions. Gloves wear out. Having spares is just practical.
