Pit and workshop kit is sized on the same ladders as driver kit, so if you already know your race suit or glove size you know this too. The one thing to watch is that overalls come in two systems: Sparco use letters and OMP use the numeric ladder.
| Letter | Equivalent | Chest (cm) | Waist (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 44 / 46 | 86 – 93 | 74 – 81 |
| S | 48 / 50 | 94 – 101 | 82 – 87 |
| M | 52 / 54 | 102 – 109 | 88 – 97 |
| L | 56 / 58 | 110 – 117 | 98 – 105 |
| XL | 60 / 62 | 118 – 125 | 106 – 113 |
| XXL | 64 / 66 | 126 – 133 | 114 – 121 |
These are the bands from Sparco’s own body size chart, which is what their letters follow. The OMP Proban race suit is also sold S to XXL and uses the same pattern.
| Size | Chest (cm) | Waist (cm) | Height (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 87 – 91 | 71 – 75 | 155 – 165 |
| 46 | 91 – 95 | 75 – 79 | 158 – 170 |
| 48 | 95 – 99 | 79 – 83 | 165 – 175 |
| 50 | 99 – 103 | 83 – 87 | 170 – 180 |
| 52 | 103 – 107 | 87 – 91 | 170 – 183 |
| 54 | 107 – 111 | 91 – 95 | 177 – 187 |
| 56 | 111 – 115 | 95 – 99 | 182 – 190 |
| 58 | 115 – 119 | 99 – 103 | 185 – 195 |
| 60 | 119 – 123 | 103 – 107 | 187 – 198 |
| 62 | 123 – 127 | 107 – 111 | 190 – 200 |
| 64 | 127 – 131 | 111 – 115 | 190 – 200 |
Measure around your knuckles, across the widest part of the palm, leaving the thumb out.

| L | 11 | 23.5 – 24.5 | 23.1 – 23.7 |

| XXL | 13 | 25 – 25.5 | 24.7 – 25.4 |
Sparco and OMP agree within half a centimetre throughout. A mechanics glove should be a little looser than a driving glove so you can get it on and off quickly with dirty hands, so if you are on a boundary take the larger.
The Sparco Fast and Chrono mechanics shoes use the standard Sparco ladder. Measure heel to longest toe, standing, and work from the bigger foot.
| EU | UK | Foot length |
|---|---|---|
| 37 | 4 | 24.3 cm |
| 38 | 5 | 25.0 cm |
| 39 | 5.5 | 25.7 cm |
| 40 | 6.5 | 26.3 cm |
| 41 | 7 | 27.0 cm |
| 42 | 8 | 27.7 cm |
| 43 | 9 | 28.3 cm |
| 44 | 9.5 | 29.0 cm |
| 45 | 10.5 | 29.6 cm |
| 46 | 11 | 30.3 cm |
| 47 | 12 | 31.0 cm |
| 48 | 13 | 31.6 cm |
The Alpinestars Radar V2 mechanics shoe uses the Alpinestars ladder instead, which carries half sizes Sparco does not: UK 7 is an EU 40.5, UK 9.5 is an EU 43.5 and UK 11 is an EU 45.5. Go by the UK size on that one. It also runs up to UK 14.
The Sparco Bermuda cargo shorts run S to XXL on the same letter bands as the overalls above, sized on your waist rather than your chest.
Some of this category is FIA 8856-2018 approved and some is not. The Sparco Tide Meca and R-Meca gloves, the OMP Pro Mech gloves and the Sparco Fast and Chrono shoes carry the driver-standard approval, which matters if you are working on a refuelling stop. The Workshop EVO gloves, the cargo shorts and the MS-4 and MS-5 overalls are workshop kit. The approval is listed on every product page.
