This bundle covers the three-piece OMP First underwear set: balaclava, long-sleeve top, and long johns, all in white and all carrying FIA 8856-2018 approval. Note that despite appearing under the Sparco brand grouping in the store, these are OMP products from the OMP First range.
Each item is made from double-layer soft-knit Nomex. OMP use flat seams throughout, which reduces pressure points during long stints. The First range is OMP’s entry-level FIA racewear line and represents solid value for club and practice racing without spending on performance treatments.
Sizing works independently for each item. The balaclava available in this bundle runs to size M only; if you take a large balaclava size, the individual OMP First balaclava listing carries larger sizes. The top and long johns run XS through to XXL.
At £145 for the full set this sits at a similar level to the Sparco RW-4 bundle. Both meet FIA 8856-2018. The OMP First uses knit Nomex; the Sparco RW-4 uses a soft-touch interlock Nomex construction. Both are comfortable; the preference between them usually comes down to which fits better against your race suit. Ask us if you want to compare before deciding.
Part numbers: balaclava IE0-0770-A01-071, top IE0-0771-A01-071, long johns IE0-0772-A01-071.
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.
Can I mix sizes across the items?
Yes. Each part of the bundle is picked in its own size when you order, so a large suit with medium gloves and size 44 boots is no problem. If any combination shows as unavailable, ask us and we will sort it.
Is everything in the bundle homologated?
Each item carries its own approval, shown in the specification above, and it is the individual labels a scrutineer checks, exactly as if you had bought the pieces separately. If your championship has specific requirements, tell us which series you run in and we will confirm the whole bundle passes.
Can I swap an item in the package?
Usually, yes. If you want a different colour, model, or spec for one of the pieces, get in touch before ordering and we will quote the bundle with the swap, so you keep the package saving where we can give it.
Is a bundle the right way to buy my first kit?
For most first-time buyers, yes: the pieces are chosen to work together and it takes the guesswork out of matching approvals. Our track day kit guide and race suit guide cover what you need for your level.
