Was an Alpinestars loyalist in my motorcycle days, but OMP seems a better value/quality these days.

I have the Sparco Tide gloves and love them. Super lightweight and comfy; easily my favorite gloves of everything I've used to date.
As for helmet, I recently got a Stilo ST5 GT that I also like a lot. Comes in carbon or composite shells (composite costing about half as much for just a tiny bit more weight) and has ports for coms and hydration if you use either of those.

SPARCO Tide gloves are what I've used since last year
Save money by purchasing a Bell M8 carbon fiber helmet over the Stilo Lightweight, super comfortable,large field of view and easy to put glasses on |

I can also vouch for the Sparco Tide gloves. Super comfortable and really grippy. A lot better than my old Alpinestars gloves.

Just a quick question: Are gloves required in some racing, or do you wear them for more consistent steering wheel grip?

not required its a personal preference i know some fast guys that dont wear them for hpde but actually track days like nasa/scca require them
with the oem leather wheel its not needed but with the 1le/zl1 wheel i prefer them
