The new B-Rookie long sleeve top
The B-Rookie is part of Sparco's karting underwear range. It is made from 100% cotton, which is soft and comfortable against the skin, has a high collar, and carries the Sparco logo on the neck.
It comes in five colours: yellow, black, white, blue and red. It is machine washable and made to be worn under a kart suit, for karting, track days and other events where FIA approval is not required.
The rest of the karting range
Sparco’s karting underwear covers long sleeve tops, short sleeve tops and balaclavas, each in a choice of colours, with sizes running from XXS to XL. The balaclavas are light and breathable, and make a helmet more comfortable to wear for a full day.
A base layer under a kart suit keeps sweat off the suit and stops it rubbing at the neck and wrists. Garreth’s advice is to buy at least two tops if you drive most weekends, so there is always a clean one in the bag.
FIA approved Sparco underwear
Karting underwear is not fire resistant, so for car racing and any event that asks for approved underwear you need FIA rated pieces. We have updated Sparco’s FIA ranges too, and grouped the matching tops, long johns, balaclavas and socks so a full set is easy to put together.
The RW-11 Evo is Sparco’s lightest FIA underwear. It is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3, uses a breathable seam-free knit to avoid pressure points, and has Sparco’s X-Cool Silver treatment, which feels cool on the skin and is anti-bacterial. The RW-10 Shield Pro carries the same approvals and is built from a combination of lightweight technical fabrics.
