KS-3R Art Kart Racing Suit | CIK-FIA Level 2
KS-3R Art Kart Racing Suit | CIK-FIA Level 2
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.
