When you step into a kart, your apparel becomes your first line of defense. Unlike many sports, karting demands specialized gear that serves a dual purpose: protecting you from the inherent risks of racing while allowing the freedom of movement needed to control your machine at high speeds. From your helmet down to your shoes, every piece plays a role in keeping you safe on the track.
The right apparel is about performance and peace of mind. Proper safety equipment reduces fatigue, improves your ability to focus, and most importantly, can mean the difference between walking away from an incident unscathed or suffering serious injury. Whether you're a beginner hitting the track for the first time or a seasoned competitor, understanding what gear matters and why it matters is essential to getting the most out of your karting experience.
Your racing suit is the foundation of your safety kit. It's the barrier between your skin and the track, and in the event of a crash or contact with another kart, it's designed to protect you from abrasion. Since you are not belted into a kart, fire is not much of a concern and kart suits are designed for maximum abrasion resistance and are not fire retardant.
When evaluating racing suits, you're looking at multiple factors that go beyond just meeting minimum regulations. The fabric construction determines how the suit will perform in different conditions. Cordura offers superior abrasion resistance and durability, making it ideal if you're planning to race frequently or if you want gear that will last through multiple seasons. Nylon is softer, more breathable, and offers better comfort during long days at the track, though it won't hold up as well to repeated slides and contact. Many manufacturers blend these materials strategically, using Cordura in high-impact zones like the shoulders, elbows, and hips while incorporating nylon in areas where breathability matters most.
Ventilation is another critical consideration. Mesh panels positioned on the underarms, shoulders, and sometimes the seat area help keep you cool during intense sessions. Internal thigh vents and underarm vents make a real difference when you're sitting in the seat under the sun for hours. The better suits incorporate strategically placed stretch panels on the lower back and thighs, which aren't just about comfort. These panels allow you to move in the driving position without restriction, giving you better control of the kart and reducing fatigue as the day goes on.
Fit and sizing matter tremendously. A suit that's too loose will flap at high speeds and create drag, while one that's too tight will restrict your movement and become unbearable after an hour in the heat. Most manufacturers offer both adult and youth sizes, which is crucial because young racers need properly fitted gear just as much as adults do. Don't make the mistake of buying oversized gear thinking your child will grow into it. A poorly fitting suit compromises both safety and performance.
If you're just getting into karting and want to meet track requirements without a major investment, the K1 GK2 Level 2 Kart Racing Suit currently runs around $160 and delivers legitimate racing performance. It features level 2 abrasion-resistant double-layer Cordura fabric in the high-impact areas, which means it can handle contact and friction without tearing. The soft tapered collar won't dig into your neck during long sessions, and the breathable lightweight inner lining keeps you reasonably comfortable even when temperatures climb.
What makes this suit stand out at this price point is the engineering behind the stretch panels. The lower back stretch panel is positioned exactly where you need flexibility for karting, and the elastic underarms provide 360 degrees of movement so you can reach the steering wheel and adjust your inputs without fighting the suit. The boot-cut legs and adjustable belt allow you to dial in a personalized fit. It comes in both adult and youth sizes, so whether you're a parent getting your child started or an adult new to the sport, you can get a proper fit. K1's design philosophy focuses on delivering practical value without unnecessary complexity.
Once you've got some track experience and want to move beyond entry-level gear, the Alpinestars KMX-9 V2 Karting Race Suit at around $310 offers a significant step up in comfort and performance. Certified to CIK-FIA homologation standards, the KMX-9 V2 features aggressive design and vibrant colorways with two-layer construction for protection and lightness. The 100 percent polyester toweling liner provides excellent driver comfort over extended sessions. The suit features an angled front opening for easier on and off, stretch panels on the back, shoulders and waist for an optimized fit, and breathable mesh material on the crotch and underarms where you need it most. This design has proven itself across multiple seasons and racing formats.
The Sparco Thunder Adavanced Karting Suit is another solid choice in a similar price range. Made from two layer abrasion-resistant Cordura fabric and lined with Sparco's well-known soft cotton terry, the Thunder balances durability with comfort. The cotton terry lining really makes a difference. It's softer against your skin than synthetic linings, reduces chafing during long sessions, and actually helps wick sweat away more effectively. It features full floating sleeves and back stretch panels for mobility, plus internal thigh and underarm vents to dissipate heat during longer sessions. It's CIK-FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 approved and available in multiple colors and in both adult and youth sizes.
For young drivers, the Alpinestars KMX-9 S Youth Karting Suit is engineered specifically for youth proportions rather than being a scaled-down adult suit. Certified to CIK-FIA homologation standards with an optimized youth fit, the KMX-9 S features an aggressive design and vibrant colorways with three-layer construction. Tech mesh panels are positioned on underarms, seat area and bottom leg for maximum ventilation. The lumbar stretch panel provides greater flexibility and a flat profile in the riding position. Knitted wrist and ankle cuffs provide a snug fit, and Alpinestars Formula 1 style shoulder epaulettes reinforce the shoulders. The adjustable waist belt allows a tight, personalized fit, and two flat pockets offer convenient storage.
For drivers committed to competitive karting at higher levels, the OMP Tony Kart Racing Suit represents the standard equipment for Tony Kart programs at around $765. This is the official team suit with OMP's hyper-technological materials engineered to be ultra-light without sacrificing durability. The fabric blend is specifically designed to breathe while maintaining structural integrity under the demands of competitive racing. The floating stretch sleeves are a premium feature that allows your arms complete freedom without any binding, which matters when you're making quick steering inputs lap after lap. Strategic stretch inserts on the lower back and thighs give you exceptional mobility without creating weak points in the suit.
Mesh inserts on the shoulders and under the sleeves maximize ventilation in areas that get the hottest. Inner knee pads reduce fatigue and the impact sensation from bumps and curbs during long competition days. The suit is completely printed with Tony Kart's distinctive green graphic design. It's available in both youth sizes (120-160) and adult sizes (42-58), so competitive young drivers in Tony Kart programs can get the exact same equipment as the professionals.
The OMP Kosmic Racing Kart Suit OTK serves the same role within Kosmic Kart programs, offering similar technology and quality with Kosmic's distinctive livery. Like the Tony Kart suit, it's built with OMP's advanced materials and features floating stretch sleeves, strategic ventilation panels, and inner knee pads.
Comet also offers the OMP suits for other OTK Brands like the LN Lando Norris Suit, Carlos Sainz CS55 Kart Suit and OTK RedSpeed brands. All these OMP OTK suit brands can be special ordered through Comet.
Don't overlook rain suits. The Alpinestars Kart Rain Suit is a clear, waterproof over-suit that you wear on top of your regular racing suit at around $110. Constructed from 100 percent waterproof materials with taped seams, it's engineered to keep you dry in heavy downpours. The elasticized cuffs on the wrists and ankles prevent water from seeping up your sleeves, and the high-profile collar provides a complete seal against the elements. The inner v-shaped gusset enables use during heavy rain without creating bunching or discomfort. Heavy-duty, heat-resistant textile sleeve panels add durability where you need it. If you're racing in any climate where rain is a possibility, this needs to be in your gear bag.
Your budget will be the primary driver of your decision, but think long-term. A suit in the $160 range like the K1 GK2 will serve you well if you're racing recreationally a few times a year. If you're racing every weekend or planning to move up the competitive ladder, investing in a mid-range option like the Alpinestars KMX-9 for around $310 or Sparco Thunder Advanced Karting Suit around $279 makes sense. The better fit, superior comfort, and improved materials will actually make you faster because you're not fighting your suit and you won't be as fatigued at the end of a long day. For drivers on established kart programs or competing seriously, the premium OMP suits around $765 are what the top drivers are wearing. Always make sure you're getting the right size, and don't hesitate to contact Comet if you need sizing guidance. A suit that doesn't fit properly compromises both your safety and your ability to control the kart at the highest levels.
Your helmet is the most critical piece of safety equipment you'll ever wear. Unlike enclosed auto racing where drivers benefit from roll cages, safety cells, and SAFER barriers, karting puts you in direct contact with the racing environment. In an open kart with minimal bodywork protection and no enclosed cockpit, your helmet becomes your primary defense against impacts, debris, and the elements. When speeds can exceed 80 mph and wheel-to-wheel racing puts you inches from other drivers, a quality helmet can mean the difference between walking away from an incident and serious injury.

If you're just getting into karting, the Zamp FS-9 Solid Color Helmet at around $180 delivers professional-grade protection without breaking the bank. This helmet features a lightweight fiberglass shell meeting the Snell M2020 standard, offering superior fiberglass impact absorption. The FS-9 has adjustable chin and scalp vents with rear exhausts for customizable airflow, plus a plush removable and washable interior. Cheek pads and crown liners are interchangeable, allowing you to dial in a custom fit. It comes with an optically correct Z-19 shield with a lock button in closed position. The real story with the FS-9 is the value proposition: you're getting impact absorption characteristics typically only seen on helmets costing twice as much.
For youth drivers just starting out, the Zamp RZ-42Y Youth Racing Helmet at around $270 is purpose-designed for young racers. It's certified to the Snell CMR2016 standard specifically for karting drivers under 18 years old. Unlike adult helmets simply scaled down, the RZ-42Y is engineered with proper weight distribution for developing necks and smaller head circumferences. It features adjustable ventilation with multiple intake and exhaust channels, a removable and washable interior, and interchangeable padding for a growing child's fit.
Once you have more track experience and want a step up in ventilation and adjustability, the Zamp RZ-63S Solid Color Helmet at around $400 offers substantial upgrades. The RZ-63S features an aramid mix shell that's super lightweight combined with optimized aerodynamics including a chin bar and aero lips. The tri-tech air system lets you run natural air, forced air, or air plugs depending on conditions, with three adjustable inlets on top and both sides of the chin bar for maximum airflow control. Certified to Snell SA2025, this helmet is versatile enough for multiple racing disciplines while maintaining karting-specific engineering.
The Bell K.1 Pro Helmet at around $550 is a race-ready multi-use helmet with superior ventilation for the serious racer. Built with a lightweight composite shell and excellent fit, the K.1 Pro offers multiple ventilation options and modern styling. It's SA2020 certified and designed for drivers who want professional-grade protection in a helmet that performs across different racing environments.
For youth racers moving up in competition, the Bell KC7 EV CMR Youth Helmet at around $600 is an ultra-lightweight youth karting helmet. The advanced ventilation system features 14 intake and extraction channels that can be used with or without air intake covers to maximize cooling. The RS7 double screen anti-fog visor and rubber gasket seal ensures water won't enter the eye opening in rain. Certified to the FIA/Snell CMH standard designed specifically for karting drivers under 18.
For serious competitors and professional drivers, the Arai SK-6 Karting Helmet at around $680 is the gold standard. Constructed using Arai's proprietary "ScLc" (Super Complete Laminated Construction), the SK-6 is incredibly lightweight while providing incredible shell strength and flexibility. The stronger shell allows Arai to use an extremely soft interior EPS liner for maximum comfort and excellent impact energy management. It's designed specifically for karting use with a brushed nylon liner for comfort, breathability and ease of washing. Snell KA certified for karting-specific protection, the SK-6 is what you see on competitive drivers who take their safety seriously.
For youth drivers in serious competition, the Arai CK-6 Junior Karting Helmet at around $600 was one of the first helmets in the world to have CIK-FIA CMH approval. It's designed specifically for junior kart racers that are too small to comfortably support an adult-sized shell. The CK-6 incorporates Arai's Special Resin Construction (SRC) for ultimate safety while keeping the shell lightweight and comfortable. A standout feature is the removable and replaceable cheek pads that allow the helmet to "grow" with the junior driver as they develop, making it a long-term investment that actually adjusts to fit your child's changing proportions.
Your budget determines your starting point. Entry-level racers who visit the track a few times a year will be well-served by the Zamp FS-9 around $180. If you're racing weekly and planning to move up in competition, investing in a mid-range option like the Zamp RZ-63S around $400 or Bell K.1 Pro around $550 makes sense. The better ventilation and enhanced features will keep you more comfortable over longer sessions, which translates to better performance and safety. For serious competitors on established programs or racing at higher levels, the Arai SK-6 around $670 or Arai CK-6 around $600 for youth represent the pinnacle of karting-specific helmet design. Always prioritize proper fit over brand or style. Contact Comet if you're unsure about sizing. A helmet that doesn't fit properly defeats its purpose, no matter how much you spent on it.
Your gloves are more important than many racers realize. In karting, your hands are constantly working the steering wheel with precision and force. Quality gloves provide grip, dexterity, and protection from abrasion during slides, contact with other karts, and exposure to engine heat. Poor grip leads to fatigue, slower inputs, and can cause blisters. The right gloves enhance your connection to the kart while keeping your hands safe.
Karting gloves differ significantly from general work or cycling gloves. Racing-specific gloves feature reinforced palms and fingers where you grip the wheel, with thinner material on the back of the hand to maintain tactile feedback and dexterity. Leather construction offers superior durability and abrasion resistance compared to synthetic materials. Wrist closures should be snug but not restrictive, keeping the glove in place during aggressive steering inputs without cutting off circulation. Seams and stitching matter more than people think. Poor seam construction will fail under the stress of racing, while quality stitching distributes pressure and prevents premature wear as well as improving comfort.
The K1 Racegear RS1 Kart Racing Gloves at around $39 are the industry standard for entry-level karting gloves. K1 designed these for maximum comfort with a rolled fingertip design that eliminates the bothersome 4-point stitch that normally bothers your fingertips. Soft vented mesh runs along all fingers to keep you cool under pressure, and reverse stitching throughout allows maximum comfort so you can focus on your race line instead of your gloves. Features include abrasion-resistant fabric, vented fingers, seamless fingertips, a slash-cut gauntlet, external stitching, and a padded leather palm for grip and comfort. Available in multiple sizes from 4XS to XL, these gloves work for both youth and adult drivers. The RS1 dominates the entry-level market for good reason.
The Racewear #500 Series Kart Gloves at around $20 offer rock-bottom pricing for racers on a tight budget. These black karting gloves come with an adjustable velcro strap and are available in both adult and child sizes. You get basic protection and adequate grip for casual kart time without spending much. While they lack some features of higher-tier options, they provide legitimate protection at exceptional value.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race V2 Pure Gloves at around $60 deliver Alpinestars quality at mid-range pricing. These gloves bring legitimate racing performance from a top manufacturer. Features include premium construction, advanced grip technology, and touchscreen compatibility. This is an excellent step up if you're racing regularly and want better feel and durability than entry-level options.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Vision Gloves at around $50 represent outstanding value for weekly racers. Alpinestars' proven Tech-1 construction with their characteristic external seams for comfort and performance. These deliver the reliability and grip that serious racers need without premium pricing. Available in multiple sizes and colorways.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 Graphic 1 Gloves at around $60 are the latest iteration with aggressive graphics. These maintain Alpinestars' proven Tech-1 K Race V2 platform with updated styling. External seams prevent pressure points, polyester bonded with polymesh offers superb durability, and internal seams with synthetic suede leather deliver excellent feel and grip. Mesh fourchettes on one half of the fingers blend with Lycra on the other for perfect ventilation and flexibility. Silicon surface treatment improves control, and they're touchscreen compatible.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V4 Gloves at around $170 represent the latest generation of premium karting gloves. These are what serious competitors wear. External seams offer superior comfort and prevent pressure points on fingers. Pre-curved finger construction with innovative palm design improves fit and reduces fatigue. Open weave mesh fourchettes maximize breathability. Ergonomic 3D grip print technology with silicon surface patterning delivers superior flexibility and control. Touchscreen compatible with Alpinestars' 180-degree elasticated wrist for easy entry and secure fit. These are the pinnacle of karting glove technology.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V3 Gloves at around $145 offer premium performance at discounted pricing. These deliver external seams for superior comfort, pre-curved fingers with innovative palm design that reduces fatigue, and ergonomic grip print with silicon patterning. Touchscreen compatible. Excellent option for serious competitors wanting top technology at a better price point.
Your budget and racing frequency should guide your decision. Recreational racers that run a few times per year should grab the K1 RS1 at around $39 or Racewear #500 Series at around $20. These provide solid protection and grip for casual kart time. If you're racing every weekend or planning to move up competitively, the Alpinestars Tech-1 Race V2 Pure or Vision models around $50-60 make excellent sense. You'll notice better grip, improved durability, and less hand fatigue over long days. For serious competitors on established programs, the Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V4 at around $170 is what top drivers wear for maximum performance.
Always prioritize fit over brand. Gloves that are too loose will slip during aggressive inputs and won't protect properly. Gloves that are too tight will restrict circulation and cause hand cramps. Visit a local karting facility if possible to try gloves on before buying. If ordering online, check the sizing chart carefully and don't hesitate to contact Comet for sizing advice. Your gloves should feel snug but comfortable, with full finger mobility and secure wrist closure. Break them in for a few sessions before major races so they conform to your hands naturally. You are always welcome to visit Comet Kart Sales in Greenfield, Indiana, we stock most all sizes and colors in our store that are on our website, so you can get that perfect fit.
Your shoes are critical safety equipment that many new racers underestimate. Karting shoes serve multiple functions beyond just keeping your feet comfortable. They provide precise pedal feedback so you can feel exactly how much brake pressure you're applying and modulate throttle input with millimeter accuracy. Racing shoes have thin, flexible soles that transmit pedal sensation directly to your feet, allowing you to make micro-adjustments during hard braking or acceleration. This tactile connection improves consistency and helps you find the limit of grip faster. Quality karting shoes also protect your feet from any track debris like tire rubber marbles, small rocks and dirt.
Standard street shoes or sneakers are terrible for karting. Their thick, cushioned soles dampen pedal feedback and make it difficult to feel what the kart is doing beneath you. The flexible sidewalls allow your feet to roll during hard cornering, compromising your inputs. Karting-specific shoes feature rigid construction, thin soles for maximum feel, and reinforced heel and toe areas where your feet contact the pedals. Most racing shoes use suede or leather uppers for durability and breathability. The soles are typically rubber compounds designed to grip the kart floor and prevent your feet from sliding around. Laces or velcro closures keep shoes snug without restricting circulation, and many karting shoes include padding around the ankle for comfort during long days at the track.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K V2 Karting Shoes at around $190 are the foundation of quality karting footwear. Developed to withstand the stresses of kart racing, these shoes feature nubuck and microfiber upper for durability and support. The new anatomical design improves forefoot profiling, and an asymmetric lacing system provides progressive closure. External reinforcements on the heel and toe areas protect where your feet work the pedals hardest. The ultra-thin Formula 1 specification sole with rounded heel delivers unsurpassed grip and sensitivity on the pedals.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Start V2 Karting Shoes at around $143 are the entry point for drivers wanting genuine racing footwear. These feature a newly designed forefoot profile and Achilles-friendly collar design with breathable laser perforations. A reinforced external heel provides durability where you need it most. Constructed from durable and lightweight microfiber for optimized protection, comfort and performance fit. Perfect for recreational racers and youth drivers starting their karting journey.
The K1 Racegear Pilot 2 Karting Shoes at a budget friendly price around $100 are the newest edition in K1's safety gear line. Ultra-lightweight construction from microfiber, perforated leather and high-quality suede delivers budget-friendly pricing while maintaining structural integrity and extreme durability. The newly designed molded rubber compound sole offers excellent support and pedal feel for impressive grip. Allows racers of all ages to optimize throttle and braking inputs without excessive cost.
The Alpinestars Tech 1-KS Youth Karting Shoe at around $110 is aggressively styled specifically for youth drivers. Lightweight microfiber and 3D mesh inserts provide high levels of comfort, durability and breathability. Performance features include an innovative rounded heel for support and Alpinestars' exclusive rubber compound sole for improved pedal sensitivity and grip. Designed and developed specifically for the stresses of kart racing with youth-specific proportions and styling.
Your racing level and budget should determine which shoes make sense. Casual racers who only get out a few times per year should start with the K1 Racegear Pilot 2 at around $100 or Alpinestars Tech-1 K Start V2 at around $143. These provide genuine racing shoe benefits without major investment. If you're racing weekly or planning to move into competitive racing, the Alpinestars Tech-1 K V2 at around $190 is excellent. The improved sole design and reinforced construction will noticeably improve your consistency and reduce foot fatigue over long race days. Youth drivers should look at the Alpinestars Tech 1-KS for shoes designed specifically for developing feet and younger racers.
Always prioritize fit and feel over brand name. Your shoes should be snug enough that your foot doesn't shift inside the shoe during hard inputs, but not so tight that circulation is restricted. The sole should feel thin and responsive, transmitting pedal feedback clearly. Visit a local karting facility if possible to try shoes on before buying. If ordering online, size carefully using the manufacturer's chart and don't hesitate to contact Comet for sizing guidance. Proper shoe fit directly impacts your ability to modulate inputs consistently, so it's worth getting right.
Over the last couple decades, kart design and tire grip technology has advanced a lot, which has resulted in increased grip levels on track, with that increase in grip Rib Protectors have almost become a required safety item for racers. Rib protectors help distribute the side loads and g-forces that your ribs and torso receive when cornering as well as helping absorb the impact of curbs and bumps. They also shield your torso from the most dangerous impacts in karting. During hard crashes or contact with other karts, your ribs and chest absorb tremendous force. Without proper protection, broken or bruised ribs can end your season. Quality rib vests distribute impact forces across a wider area, preventing concentrated trauma to your ribs and torso. A good rib vest should be snug enough to stay in place during aggressive cornering but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement. You need full mobility to control the kart effectively, so the vest can't impede your ability to move the steering wheel or reach the pedals. You also don’t want an improperly fitting vest riding up and pushing against your arm pits.
The K1 Pro Lite Rib Protector Vest at around $90 is an affordable entry point for rib protection. Basic protection with lightweight construction that doesn't restrict movement. Good for recreational racers or younger drivers starting out who need legitimate protection without excessive cost.
The Armadillo Adult Ribvest at around $123 offers straightforward adult-sized rib protection. Simple design with protective padding throughout the torso and rib cage areas as well as an integrated chest pad. Provides solid impact protection for adult racers moving into regular competition.
The Ribtect 4 Karting Ribvest at around $199 offers engineered padding and better impact distribution than basic vests. Maintains good mobility and ventilation. A step up for drivers racing weekly who want improved protection without premium pricing.
The Alpinestars Bionic Karting Ribvest at around $180 brings premium engineering with sophisticated padding placement. Better ventilation and mobility than basic vests. Excellent for weekly racers wanting higher-end protection from a top manufacturer.
The New! K1 Racegear Ballistic Carbon Fiber Rib Protector at around $225 represents premium protection with carbon fiber construction. Carbon fiber provides maximum impact resistance while keeping weight minimal. Excellent ventilation and mobility. For serious competitors wanting the best protection available.
For Junior, Cadet and Kid Kart racers, almost all karting series have adopted the rule that they must use an SFI Approved Chest Protector Plate at the very least, even if they do not use a Rib Protector Vest. Ribtect makes a Chest Plate Only that can be used with or without a ribvest. Other manufacturers like Armadillo have a ribvest with a built in Chest Plate for youth racers. Keep this in mind when purchasing a ribvest for younger racers.
The Armadillo Junior SFI Ribvest with Chest Protector at around $142 is designed specifically for youth drivers with SFI certification. Proportioned for younger racers with protective padding throughout. Allows young drivers to race safely with equipment designed for their size.
The Alpinestars AK1 Youth Kart Rib / Chest Protector at around $500 is premium youth protection with Alpinestars technology. Advanced materials and design for young drivers in serious racing programs. Maximum protection and performance for competitive youth racers.
Your racing level and budget determine which vest makes sense. Recreational racers starting out should grab the K1 Pro Lite at around $90 or Armadillo Adult at around $123. These provide solid basic protection without major investment. If you're racing weekly or moving into competitive racing or even for serious competitors, the Ribtect 4 at around $199 or Alpinestars Bionic at around $180 are excellent choices along with the K1 Racegear Ballistic Carbon Fiber at around $225 which delivers maximum protection with premium materials.
Youth drivers should prioritize getting properly sized vests designed for their age and size. Check your kart series rules for ages that require chest protectors. The Armadillo Junior SFI at around $142 is a solid entry option, while the Alpinestars AK1 at around $500 delivers premium protection for competitive youth programs. You can also go “chest plate only” with Ribtect. Oversized adult vests won't protect properly and will impede movement as well as not having an approved chest protection plate.
Always ensure your rib vest fits snugly without restricting breathing or movement. You should be able to comfortably reach the steering wheel and pedals without the vest riding up or shifting. SFI certification indicates the vest meets established safety standards for youth racers.
