A Look at Different Karting Suits

- Figuring out what a karting suit is like with only a photo can be difficult when you're trying to buy one online. I got together a few different brands of karting suits and described them so you'd have more info when you're trying to choose one. Sorry I don't have the specific models for all of them.
*Check with your local club or racing series for any certification requirements.
Your videos are so informative, thank you. As a noob to karting, it is not easy to find useful info on the internet.
+HugoMonster I hear you, that’s what this channel is all about, giving you info when you’re just getting started and growing together. I struggled finding info too and I’m glad these help! Thx for watching.
Thanks for doing this. It's so hard to find any good images/video of kart suits and unless you have a good shop nearby it's impossible to get a idea of how thick and what material the suits are made from
Do you look at the race certifications for these suits? Are you concerned about meeting SKUSA (as an example) requirements? Also, do you know about the cost of custom embroidery and/or screen printing and is this done at the factory level?
I don't look at the certifications. I don't know the cost to embroider but my friend does it at a private business he uses that does this type of work.
@@IllegalAlienRacing I would think that you should qualify yourself in these videos just in case someone is looking to make the investment and go beyond the club level. As for the safety certifications, they have to do with fire ratings and I suspect everyone would be interested in that. How about those interested in the Rotax program, that's in the club-level category.
@@VerhelstAssoc Never heard of a suit having to be fire resistant for karting. From SKUSA's 2019 Rulebook:
10.4.2.3.- Driving Suits: Must be manufactured for kart
racing. Suit must be constructed of heavy weight, abrasion resistant nylon or leather. Driving suits must be of sufficient length to cover entire leg and ankle when in seated driving position. No portion of the leg or ankle may be exposed when in the driving position. Jacket and jeans are not permitted.
@@IllegalAlienRacing Here's a published description of the certification rules. www.racedaysafety.com/kart-race-suit-buying-guide.html
I believe that it is up to the race director and the race series organizer to determine what certifications are required.
@@VerhelstAssoc - I agree. Both of my suits are FIA-CIK approved.
Like you said it was a “look” at suits. Not being in the sport yet, I would think you might want some fire and puncture protection. Is there a standard they have to meet?
The standard normally depends on the championship
Most of them have the same standard tho
Although there are a few tracks near by there are no stores that deal with karts where I am. Sizing is an issue in that it seems different makes have different fits. Can you give some advice on fitment.
Tony Kart suit from Pakistan bought off Ebay. Labeled Sparco, great quality FIA/CIK certified. $85 to my door. Same suit in the US cost $700.
Aren't those fake? (genuine question)
Do you recommend a place where to buy a race suit for my son he’s 4 1/2 years old but I’m looking online to get his gear I’m in Houston tx
For a 14 yr old, do they sell at DKC?
And for Club Races, can we rent suits and Helmets?
I'd call DKC and ask for Sean.
Awesome video, really hard to find info and video reviews on suits.
+LexusUK - Thanks! I hope it helped.
at 7:24, you showed a K1 suit . Can you tell me what model it is?
I tried finding the model on it and didn't see anything. I'll ask the person that owns it to see if they know.
They’re too expensive sometimes 😫😫
I found a full tonykart suit, including gloves and shoes for $125AUD, i had to pay another $40 delivery to the uk and then 20% import tax to the uk.
Where did you find it?
@@lennartsmits711 it was found on ebay, £68 uk btw and came from australia so had additional tax and delivery charges. I just checked and i cannot access the listing to find the seller, i presume its been removed. You can find some similar alternates though if you search for a CIK FIA LEVEL II suit on ebay, and be aware of those extra charges if you import from australia to UK ect.
Nice suit bro
I like your videos 👍🏽👍🏽

I have an auto racing suit, is it a bad idea to kart with this?
Axel Nussbaumer no it will be really good. But if you really care about it don’t because kart suits get dirty, especially in lo206.
We manufacture of kart racing suit we can help you
Why don’t they put a harness or seatbelt in racing karts.
If the kart rolls or catches on fire, you want to get out fast. With a seatbelt, you could get stuck.
Colton Underhill thanks for the reply. I’ve been wondering about that for a wjile
But seatbelt and a rolehope over your head. Safety first.
PKraemer81 but there could still be fire. Especially considering the fuel tank is in between you legs
@@TheThumbsUpChannel how fast do F1 drivers get out of the car??? A fia approved belt is almost fool proof. Racing car let's say tcr cars is a bit faster but kz2 is not fare behind in speed so why no belt or anything at all in karting especially in like kz2 or rotax125.
i like yr videos 👍
Thank you for watching them.
