What stands out
32 g per pair. Only the GCOM SRG1 publishes a lower figure, at 31 g. Both sit well under the roughly 40 g mark where a glove stops registering as a layer between palm and rim. See lightest sim racing gloves.
Grip across the whole palm. Most gloves place grip where the designers expect your hand to sit: silicone dots on the SRG1, multi-pattern zones on the Moradness, a rubber coating with padding on the Sparco. L-Grip covers the full palm instead. If you move your hands around the rim — hand-over-hand in rally, or shifting grip on a GT wheel — there is no zone to find.
Eight sizes. 2XS to 3XL is the broadest range in this field, ahead of F33L's seven. Most brands run S to XL, which leaves the smallest and largest hands choosing between too tight and too loose. See size and fit.
Motorsport background. FREEM builds race suits and FIA-rated gloves; the SIM21 is the sim derivative. That does not make it a better sim glove on its own, but the brand has measured hands and fabrics for a long time.
The data gap
FREEM publishes weight, sizes and price, but not seam position, back fabric, cuff design or care instructions; the palm description and touch zones above come from a third-party test.
Seam position is the gap that matters most, because it decides whether a stitched ridge sits between your palm and the rim. GCOM, Moradness, Syncmesh, F33L and SRS all state theirs.

Eight: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL — the widest range in this comparison.
