OMP Racing

OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Suit The OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Suit combines proven CIK-FIA Level 2 protection with the ventilation, flexibility, and comfort needed for long race weekends. Its lightweight three-layer construction provides durable karting protection without making the driver feel unnecessarily restricted behind the wheel. Breathable mesh panels help release heat from key areas, while the soft knitted inner lining improves comfort against the body. A low-profile collar, elastic rear insert, and purpose-built karting cut allow the suit to sit naturally when the driver is seated. CIK-FIA Level 2 Karting Protection The KS-3 is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 2 karting standard. Unlike an automotive racing suit, which is designed primarily for flame protection, the KS-3 is engineered to help protect a kart driver against abrasion during an on-track incident. Its three-layer design balances resistance and comfort, making the KS-3 a dependable choice for club racers, experienced competitors, and drivers moving into organized karting competition. Ventilation Where Kart Drivers Need It Kart racing places the driver close to the engine, track surface, and surrounding bodywork, making ventilation an important part of suit comfort. OMP places breathable mesh inserts along the legs, crotch, and underneath the sleeves to increase airflow while driving. The soft knitted lining helps create a more comfortable interior, while the lightweight exterior limits unnecessary bulk. Together, these features help reduce distraction during practice sessions, qualifying, and extended race-day use. Designed for Movement in the Kart An elastic insert across the back allows the suit to move more naturally as the driver leans forward, turns the wheel, and shifts body position through corners. The low-cut collar reduces excess material around the neck while seated, and the cuffs provide a secure fit around the wrists and ankles. The KS-3 also includes two practical outer pockets, an integrated belt design, and a motorcycle-inspired front zipper that gives the suit its distinctive OMP appearance.

It can be used for competition, driver development programs, organized practice sessions, and track-day karting where CIK-FIA Level 2 equipment is permitted. Before entering an event, drivers should confirm the required suit standard with their track or sanctioning organization. Some current championships require the newer FIA 8877-2022 karting standard rather than the earlier CIK-FIA Level 2 homologation. OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Suit Sizing Chart OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Suit FAQs Is the OMP KS-3 kart racing suit FIA approved?The OMP KS-3 is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 2 karting standard. Because equipment requirements vary between tracks and racing organizations, verify that CIK-FIA Level 2 suits are accepted by your specific series before ordering. What is the difference between the OMP KS-3 and KS-3X?The original KS-3 carries CIK-FIA Level 2 homologation. The newer OMP KS-3X is certified to the FIA 8877-2022 karting standard. Drivers competing under newer regulations should check whether their series specifically requires FIA 8877-2022 equipment. Is the OMP KS-3 fire resistant?No. The KS-3 is a karting suit designed primarily for abrasion protection and is not a fire-resistant auto racing suit. Drivers participating in automotive competition should use an appropriately certified FIA 8856-2018 or SFI-rated racing suit. How many layers does the OMP KS-3 have?The adult OMP KS-3 uses a three-layer construction designed to provide karting protection while maintaining manageable weight and flexibility. Where are the ventilation panels located?Breathable mesh inserts are positioned along the legs, crotch, and underneath the sleeves. These areas help increase airflow around common heat zones while the driver is seated in the kart. Does the OMP KS-3 have stretch material?The suit includes an elastic insert across the back to improve fit and mobility. This allows the upper body to move more comfortably when reaching for the steering wheel or leaning through corners. Does the KS-3 include pockets?Yes. The suit has two outer pockets for small personal items while away from the kart. Pockets should be emptied before driving whenever required by track or series regulations. What sizes are available?The adult KS-3 is produced in European sizes 42 through 62. Use the OMP sizing chart and compare your height, chest, waist, and other measurements rather than selecting a size based only on casual clothing. How should the OMP KS-3 kart suit be cleaned?Always follow the care label sewn into the suit. OMP generally recommends turning suits inside out, using cool water with mild detergent, selecting a delicate cycle or hand washing, and avoiding bleach and fabric softener. Is the KS-3 suitable for junior kart racers?The adult version is offered in European sizes 42 through 62. OMP also produces a separate youth KS-3 model in children’s sizes, so junior drivers should use the listing and sizing chart made specifically for the youth suit.

OMP KS-4 Kart Racing Gloves The OMP KS-4 Kart Racing Gloves give new and recreational drivers a straightforward combination of steering feel, durable palm construction, and unmistakable OMP styling. Designed as an entry-level karting glove, the KS-4 delivers the essential features drivers need without the complexity or price of a premium competition model. A suede leather palm creates a durable contact surface against the steering wheel, while internal seams provide a traditional close-fitting feel. The elastic wrist stop helps keep the glove securely positioned, and the silicone-rubber graphics across the back add a bold modern appearance. A Practical First Karting Glove Drivers purchasing their first dedicated karting equipment need a glove that feels comfortable, stays securely in place, and provides better wheel contact than an ordinary work or athletic glove. The OMP KS-4 is built specifically for that role. Its uncomplicated construction makes it suitable for driver schools, rental-kart leagues, recreational track days, club practice, and racers assembling an affordable karting gear package. Traditional Suede Leather Palm The KS-4 uses a suede leather palm rather than a heavily padded or highly technical grip system. Suede provides a familiar steering-wheel feel while helping the glove withstand repeated contact during regular karting use. The relatively direct palm construction allows the driver to recognize changes in steering load and maintain consistent hand placement without excessive bulk between the hand and wheel. Internal Seams and Close Hand Fit Internal stitching gives the KS-4 a traditional karting-glove profile. Keeping the seams inside creates a clean exterior and allows the glove to maintain a straightforward, close-fitting shape. Drivers who prefer the familiar feel of conventionally stitched gloves may find this construction more natural than an externally stitched performance glove. Elastic Wrist Retention An elastic wrist stop helps secure the glove without requiring a separate hook-and-loop strap. The cuff stretches as the glove is pulled on and then fits closely around the wrist to limit unwanted movement while driving. This simple closure also keeps the wrist area streamlined where the glove meets the sleeve of a karting suit or jacket. Silicone-Rubber Back Graphics The prominent printed design across the back of the hand gives the KS-4 a more modern visual identity than a basic solid-color karting glove. Silicone-rubber graphics add dimensional detail while maintaining the glove’s lightweight, flexible character. Multiple color combinations allow racers to coordinate their gloves with a helmet, karting suit, team colors, or kart graphics. OMP KS-4 Kart Racing Glove Features Entry-level glove designed specifically for karting Suede leather palm for durability and steering-wheel feel Internal-seam construction Elastic wrist stop helps maintain a secure fit Silicone-rubber printed design across the back Available in adult and children’s sizes Multiple color combinations Suitable for recreational, rental, practice, and club karting Product Specifications Manufacturer: OMP Model: KS-4 Product Code: KB0-2750-A01 Product Type: Kart racing gloves Palm: Suede leather Seam Construction: Internal Wrist: Elastic wrist stop Exterior Design: Silicone-rubber printed graphics Sizing: Children’s and adult sizes Where the KS-4 Fits in the OMP Karting Glove Range The KS-4 is positioned as an accessible entry point into OMP karting gloves. Its traditional suede palm favors durability and familiar steering feel, while its internal seams and elastic wrist keep the construction simple. Drivers seeking more specialized silicone palm grip, external seams, or current competition homologation should compare the KS-4 with OMP’s higher-level karting glove models and confirm the requirements of their racing organization before purchasing. Who Should Choose the OMP KS-4? The KS-4 is a strong option for beginners, junior drivers, rental-kart racers, driving-school participants, and experienced drivers who want an affordable backup or practice glove. Its broad sizing range also makes it useful for families and teams that need the same basic glove design for both youth and adult drivers. OMP KS-4 Kart Racing Glove Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Is the OMP KS-4 an entry-level karting glove? Yes. OMP positions the KS-4 as an entry-level model designed to provide the essential fit, palm durability, and wrist retention needed for karting. What material is used on the palm? The KS-4 uses a suede leather palm. This provides a traditional contact surface with useful durability and direct steering-wheel feel. Does the KS-4 use internal or external seams? The glove uses internal seams, giving it a conventional close-fitting karting-glove construction. How is the glove secured around the wrist? An elastic wrist stop helps hold the glove securely in place without using a separate adjustment strap. Does the back of the glove provide steering-wheel grip? No. The silicone-rubber printing on the back is primarily part of the glove’s design. Steering-wheel contact is provided by the suede leather palm. Is the current OMP KS-4 CIK-FIA Level 2 homologated? OMP’s current official KS-4 product listing does not state CIK-FIA Level 2 or FIA 8877-2022 homologation. Drivers competing under rules that mandate certified gloves should verify eligibility with their sanctioning organization before ordering. Can the KS-4 be used for automobile racing? No. The KS-4 is a karting glove and should not replace flame-resistant auto racing gloves when FIA or SFI certification is required. Are junior sizes available? Yes. Children’s sizes 004, 005, and 006 are offered in addition to the adult size range. Can these gloves be used for indoor rental karting? Yes. Their simple construction, suede palm, and elastic wrist make them well suited to indoor rental karting, leagues, practice sessions, and recreational driving. Are the KS-4 gloves suitable for outdoor kart tracks? Yes. They can be used for outdoor karting, provided they meet the equipment requirements established by the track, race organizer, or sanctioning body. How should the gloves fit? They should fit closely around the hand without limiting finger movement. Excess material in the palm can reduce steering feel, while an overly tight fit may cause discomfort. How does the standard KS-4 differ from the KS-4 ART? The standard KS-4 uses a suede leather palm and silicone-rubber graphics on the back. The KS-4 ART is a different model featuring a silicone-rubber ultragrip palm and updated printed designs.

OMP KS-4 Karting Suit – CIK-FIA Level 1 (2026 Expiry) The OMP KS-4 Karting Suit is a value-focused choice for kart racers who need durable abrasion protection, breathable comfort, and dependable freedom of movement. This closeout model features four-layer construction and CIK-FIA Level 1 homologation with a 2026 expiry, making it an affordable option for eligible racing series, practice sessions, and recreational karting. A resistant polyester exterior helps protect the driver from abrasion, while the soft cotton-sponge interior improves comfort during long sessions. Ventilated mesh inserts and flexible arm bellows help reduce restriction and heat buildup when driving in a seated karting position. Four-Layer Karting Protection at a Closeout Price The KS-4 uses a four-layer construction designed specifically for kart racing. Its durable polyester outer material provides abrasion resistance, while the soft interior creates a more comfortable surface against the driver’s clothing or karting base layers. This is not a flame-resistant auto racing suit. It is purpose-built for karting, where protection from contact with the track surface is the primary concern. CIK-FIA Level 1 Homologation This version of the OMP KS-4 is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 1 karting standard and carries a 2026 expiry. Because individual championships may require newer FIA 8877-2022 equipment, drivers should confirm the accepted suit standard with their track or sanctioning organization before purchasing. The certification label sewn into the individual suit should always be treated as the final reference for its homologation and expiration information. Breathable Construction for Hot Karting Sessions OMP places ventilated mesh inserts around the legs, shoulders, and pocket areas to improve airflow through common heat zones. These breathable sections help make the KS-4 more comfortable during indoor karting, warm-weather practice sessions, and extended race weekends. The low-cut collar also reduces excess material around the neck when seated, helping the driver remain comfortable while wearing a helmet and neck support. Flexible Fit Behind the Wheel Elastic knitted arm bellows allow the sleeves to move more naturally as the driver steers through tight corners. The kart-specific fit reduces restriction across the shoulders and upper body, while the adjustable waist belt helps create a secure and personalized fit. The straightforward design makes the KS-4 especially suitable for newer racers, budget-conscious competitors, rental-kart league drivers, and experienced drivers looking for a dependable backup suit.

OMP KS-4 Karting Suit Sizing Chart OMP KS-4 Karting Suit FAQs What does the 2026 expiry mean?The suit’s CIK-FIA Level 1 homologation is marked with a 2026 expiration. Acceptance can still vary by championship, so confirm the required standard with your track or racing organization before ordering. Can I use the OMP KS-4 in FIA-sanctioned kart racing?That depends on the event regulations. Some organizations may continue accepting CIK-FIA Level 1 suits through their labeled expiration, while other series now require FIA 8877-2022 homologation. Is this the new OMP KS-4 MY2026 suit?No. This is the previous four-layer KS-4 model with CIK-FIA Level 1 homologation. The redesigned MY2026 version has a different product number, material package, ventilation system, and overall construction. Is the OMP KS-4 fire resistant?No. The KS-4 is an abrasion-resistant karting suit and is not designed to provide flame protection. It must not replace an FIA- or SFI-certified fire-resistant suit in automotive racing. How many layers does this KS-4 have?This previous-generation OMP KS-4 uses four-layer construction. That specification applies to the CIK-FIA Level 1 version shown in this listing and not necessarily to newer suits carrying the same KS-4 name. Where are the ventilation panels located?Mesh inserts are positioned around the legs, shoulders, and pocket areas to increase airflow and help reduce heat buildup during karting sessions. Does the KS-4 provide good arm movement?Yes. Elastic knitted bellows around the arms help the sleeves move with the driver while steering, reducing pulling and restriction across the shoulders. Is the OMP KS-4 suitable for indoor karting?Yes. Its abrasion-resistant construction, ventilation panels, and comfortable interior make it suitable for indoor karting leagues and practice sessions, subject to the facility’s clothing requirements. Should I size up when wearing a rib protector?Take your measurements while accounting for any rib protector or protective gear worn underneath the suit. When measurements fall between sizes, the larger option will usually provide more room while seated. How should I wash the OMP KS-4?Follow the care label attached to the suit. Use a mild detergent and cool, gentle wash when permitted. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and allow the suit to air dry rather than using high heat. Can closeout karting suits be returned?Return eligibility depends on Competition Karting’s current closeout policy. Keep the suit clean, unused, and fully tagged until the fit and certification have been confirmed.

OMP KS-3R ART Kart Racing Suit The OMP KS-3R ART Kart Racing Suit combines certified abrasion protection with a lightweight, fully printed design created for competitive kart racers. Its soft knitted interior, strategically placed mesh ventilation, and ergonomic seated fit help drivers remain comfortable and mobile through practice, qualifying, and race sessions. Unlike traditional suits assembled from numerous contrasting fabric panels, the ART construction uses printed graphics to create its distinctive appearance. This gives the suit a smooth, modern look while reducing unnecessary decorative panel seams and preserving a flexible feel behind the wheel. CIK-FIA Level 2 Karting Protection The KS-3R ART is homologated to the CIK-FIA Level 2 karting standard. This certification is intended for abrasion protection in kart racing and allows the suit to be used in many competitive karting events that accept the CIK-FIA Level 2 standard. Drivers should always compare the homologation label sewn into the suit with the current rules of their track, championship, or sanctioning organization before competing. Lightweight Construction for Demanding Sessions OMP uses lightweight exterior fabric to provide durability and abrasion resistance without making the suit unnecessarily heavy or restrictive. The streamlined construction helps reduce bulk around the torso, hips, and legs while the driver is seated. This balance makes the KS-3R ART suitable for sprint racing, club competition, driver training, and longer track sessions where heat and fatigue can affect concentration. Soft Knitted Inner Lining A soft knitted lining creates a comfortable interior surface between the driver and the abrasion-resistant outer fabric. The liner helps reduce irritation and gives the suit a more refined feel than an unlined recreational karting suit. The lining also supports a more consistent fit as the driver moves through steering, braking, and pedal inputs. Ventilation Through High-Heat Areas Breathable mesh inserts are positioned in the legs, crotch, and beneath the sleeves. These areas commonly retain heat when a driver is seated low in a kart with limited airflow around the body. The mesh panels encourage cooling air to circulate without replacing the main protective fabric in the suit’s primary abrasion zones. Ergonomic Fit for the Karting Position The body of the suit is shaped to work with the driver’s seated posture. Its ergonomic construction helps reduce excess fabric around the waist, hips, elbows, and knees, limiting material bunching during long sessions. A properly shaped karting suit allows the driver to move more naturally and reduces distractions caused by loose or restrictive fabric. Rear Elastic Insert for Greater Mobility An elastic insert across the back allows the suit to expand as the driver leans forward toward the steering wheel. This improves mobility through the shoulders and torso while helping the suit maintain a close overall fit. The flexible rear section is especially useful during aggressive steering inputs and when entering or exiting a tight kart seat. Low-Cut Collar for Reduced Neck Bulk The low-profile collar reduces unnecessary material around the neck and helmet area. This helps limit interference between the suit, neck protection, and helmet while preserving comfortable coverage. The collar design also promotes airflow and gives the suit a streamlined competition appearance. Printed No-Belt Design The KS-3R ART features an exclusive printed waist treatment that creates the appearance of a traditional belt without using a separate exterior belt. Removing the external belt reduces bulk around the driver’s midsection and contributes to the suit’s clean visual design. The printed construction also allows the graphics to flow continuously across the suit rather than being interrupted by conventional stitched color panels. Motorcycle-Inspired Front Zipper OMP uses a distinctive front closure inspired by motorcycle racing suits. The zipper layout supports convenient entry while complementing the aggressive ART graphics. The design helps the suit open widely enough for easier dressing without adding a bulky overlapping front flap. Two Practical Exterior Pockets Two exterior pockets provide convenient storage while the driver is away from the kart. They are useful for small paddock items such as keys, identification, or gloves between sessions. Hard or bulky objects should be removed before driving if they could cause discomfort or restrict movement. Fully Printed ART Graphics The ART version separates itself from the standard KS-3R through its fully printed exterior. The graphics create a bold competition appearance without relying on multiple decorative overlay panels. Four color combinations allow drivers to coordinate the suit with their helmet, gloves, kart graphics, or team identity.

The KS-3R ART is a strong option for club racers, regional competitors, junior drivers, driving-school participants, and experienced recreational drivers who want certified abrasion protection with a distinctive printed design. Its soft lining, ventilation zones, rear stretch insert, and low-bulk waist make it particularly appealing to drivers who spend long periods in the kart or frequently compete in warm conditions. How the KS-3R ART Differs from the Standard KS-3R The KS-3R ART uses a fully printed exterior and a no-belt graphic treatment for a smoother, more modern appearance. It retains the lightweight construction, soft lining, ventilation inserts, rear elastic panel, low collar, and practical pockets associated with the KS-3R platform. Drivers choosing between the versions will primarily be deciding between their available graphics and styling rather than a dramatically different intended use. Kart Suit Versus Auto Racing Suit The KS-3R ART is designed to protect against abrasion in kart racing. It is not constructed as a flame-resistant automobile racing suit because karting and enclosed-car competition involve different safety requirements. For automobile racing, select a suit carrying the FIA 8856-2018, SFI 3.2A, or other flame-resistance approval required by the event. OMP KS-3R ART Kart Racing Suit Size Chart Frequently Asked Questions Is the OMP KS-3R ART CIK-FIA certified? Yes. OMP lists the KS-3R ART with CIK-FIA Level 2 homologation. Is the KS-3R ART approved to the newer FIA 8877-2022 standard? No. The KS-3R ART is listed under the earlier CIK-FIA Level 2 standard. Drivers whose championship requires FIA 8877-2022 should select an in-date suit carrying that specific approval. How many layers does the KS-3R ART have? OMP describes the suit as using lightweight exterior fabric with a soft knitted inner lining but does not specify a three-layer construction for this model. It should not be advertised as three-layer unless the product label or official documentation confirms it. What does ART mean in the product name? ART identifies the suit’s fully printed graphic design. The colors and shapes are printed across the exterior rather than created entirely from separately stitched decorative panels. Where are the ventilation inserts located? Breathable mesh inserts are positioned in the legs, crotch, and beneath the sleeves. Does the suit have floating sleeves? OMP’s current official KS-3R ART description does not list fully floating sleeves. It specifies an elastic rear insert to improve fit and mobility. Does the suit include a waist belt? No separate exterior belt is used. The KS-3R ART features an exclusive printed no-belt waist design. What is the advantage of the rear elastic insert? It allows the back of the suit to stretch as the driver reaches forward, reducing resistance through the shoulders and torso. Does the KS-3R ART have pockets? Yes. It includes two practical exterior pockets for use while the driver is outside the kart. Are youth sizes available? Yes. Youth sizes are offered from 120 through 160 and correspond to the driver’s approximate height in centimeters. What adult sizes are available? OMP lists adult European sizes 42 through 62, subject to current color and inventory availability. Is the KS-3R ART flame resistant? No. It is a kart racing suit designed primarily for abrasion protection and should not be treated as flame-resistant auto racing apparel. Can it be used for automobile racing? No. Automobile competition requires an appropriately certified flame-resistant suit that meets the rules of the sanctioning organization. How should the KS-3R ART fit? The suit should provide enough room to sit, bend, steer, and operate the pedals without pulling tightly across the shoulders, knees, or crotch. Avoid excessive loose material that could bunch while seated. Where is OMP equipment produced? OMP is an Italian motorsport equipment company headquartered in Genoa. Manufacturing locations can vary by product, so the individual garment label should be used to confirm the country of manufacture for a specific suit.
