Understanding Racing Suit Sizes

Racing suits should fit snugly but not restrict movement. The suit should allow you to comfortably reach all controls while seated in your racing position. Remember that racing suits are designed to be worn over underwear or a base layer, not regular clothing.

Important: If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort, especially for endurance racing.

How to Measure Yourself

For the most accurate measurements, have someone help you and use a flexible measuring tape. Wear only underwear or a thin base layer when measuring.

Chest

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso, about 1 inch above your belly button.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Height

Stand straight against a wall without shoes. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.

Racing Suit Types

FIA Approved Suits

FIA approved suits meet strict safety standards for professional racing. These suits are mandatory for most sanctioned racing events. Sizing tends to run true to size with a performance fit.

Karting Suits

Karting suits are designed for maximum mobility and comfort. They typically have a slightly more relaxed fit than FIA suits while still providing excellent protection.

F1 Replica Suits

F1 replica suits mirror the designs of professional Formula 1 drivers. These suits combine authentic styling with practical racing protection, perfect for enthusiasts and collectors.
