Sync Mesh 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.

The range starts at around $30 for the entry-level N7R1 and tops out at $71.49 for the M-PRO flagship. Shipping covers the EU, UK, US, and Canada. Every glove is built sim-specific from the ground up: outside stitching, silicone grip patterns, pre-curved palms, moisture-wicking fabric. Not a repurposed cycling glove in sight.

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. Being Danish-based, they’ve built the whole product around what sim racing actually involves: gripping a wheel, hitting buttons, and grinding through stints in a chair. That demands a different glove to what you’d use in a real car.

The engineering decisions reflect this. Stitching on the outside keeps seams off your palms through longer 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 scored the M2X a 9/10 – the only knock being fingertip stitching that could be tighter. Race Beyond Matter put them up against FIA-rated gloves and came away impressed on comfort and grip, which is a meaningful benchmark. On the store side, 4.93 stars 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 airflow is your priority above all else, a mesh-heavy motorsport glove will beat them. For most sim racing purposes though, Sync Mesh hits the mark.

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 $71.49 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. Racing on LFM makes the collaboration version worth a look. Outside that platform, the standard M-PRO performs identically.

• 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, Starlight, and Aurora

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 the entry point and it’s worth paying attention to. The palm silicone is the same M2X-grade material used in the mid-range, meaning grip quality doesn’t suffer because the price dropped. Backhand is 90% polyester and 10% nylon – lighter and more breathable than the M2X. Bold graphics across three colourways, aimed at a younger crowd. Velcro cuff, touchscreen pad, pre-curved palm – the fundamentals are covered.

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. A different material blend – 45% polyester, 40% nylon, 15% spandex – gives the S2X noticeably more stretch and a closer fit than the N7R1. It’s the “gateway” option for anyone wanting a step up without going straight to M2X pricing. 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. For $43.99, it makes real sense if you’re regularly wrenching on your rig between sessions. Material breakdown: 45% polyester, 40% nylon, 10% spandex, with a velcro closure accounting for the rest.

Which Glove Is Right For You?

Depends what you’re after. Based on what I’ve read and what the community consistently says, here’s how it breaks down:

Just getting started with gloves? Start with the N7R1 at $32 – you get the same silicone grip as the higher-end gloves, and if you decide gloves aren’t worth it, you’re not out of pocket by much. The TRIO pack at $92.49 gets you all three colourways with a 20% saving.

Want the best balance of quality and value? The M2X is where most people land, and the reviews back it up – 9/10 or better pretty consistently, at $60–74 depending on colourway. Race regularly and want something durable: this is the one.

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.
