The OMP First long johns, homologated to FIA 8856-2018. Part number IAA-772.

Double layer soft knit Nomex in the natural ecru fabric, and this is the approved bottom half of a race kit rather than a comfort layer.

Why they have to be full length

Approved underwear covers the leg to the ankle, and that is not arbitrary. The layer underneath a suit adds protection time in a fire and keeps the suit off your skin, and direct contact is what turns heat into a burn. A short or a bermuda garment leaves the part of your leg closest to the pedals and the bulkhead uncovered, which is why no short will satisfy a scrutineer checking for 8856-2018 no matter what it is made of.

The First range

OMP’s entry level line, aimed at clubman racers who want current FIA standards without professional prices. The range covers suit, gloves, boots, balaclava, top, bottoms and socks, all to 8856-2018, so a complete approved set comes from one place and matches.

Pair these with the First long sleeve top and the First socks.

Sizes

XS through XXL, in black or white.

Take your waist and inside leg rather than working from a trouser size. Too loose and the fabric bunches under a suit, too tight and you will not want to put them on.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: The OMP First Set: Suit, Boots And Gloves, And Which Colours Actually Go Together. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.

Do I actually need FIA underwear?
If your championship requires it, this is the layer scrutineers ask about, and it is strongly recommended under any suit regardless. These garments are homologated to FIA 8856-2018, the current FIA standard, so the label is there when scrutineers ask for it. Our guide on whether fireproof underwear is mandatory covers the rules championship by championship.

What size should I go for?
Sizes run from XS to XXL. Underwear layers should sit close to the skin without pinching, as loose fabric wrinkles under the suit and gets uncomfortable fast. Between sizes, take the smaller one for a base layer.

How do I wash it?
Underwear layers are the one bit of racewear you should wash after every use: cool and gentle, no bleach or fabric softener, air dry. That keeps the suit itself needing far fewer washes. Full routine in our racewear care guide.
