Sparco Sparco Eagle LT Driver Race Suit $699.00 $999.00

Sparco Eagle LT Race Suit The Eagle LT race suit is a limited-edition suit available only for the US market. The Eagle LT race suit features an all-new design in two colorways. This is a limited edition suit so only available while supplies last. SINGLE LAYER CONSTRUCTION, MULTI-LAYER PROTECTION The Eagle LT race suit is the result of over 3 years of research and development. Sparco has patented a new technology called HOCOTEX® which revolutionizes the way racing suits are made. This new exclusive Sparco technology creates a single layer fabric which has the protection of what is normally achieved by a multi-layer fabric. The Eagle LT race suit is FIA approved. SPARCO EAGLE LT RACE SUIT UNPRECEDENTED COMFORT Thanks to HOCOTEX®, the Eagle LT race suit is three times more breathable than a suit produced using traditional technology. The use of this relatively thinner fabric along with large side and back stretch panels and 360 degree arm gussets give the Eagle LT race suit ultimate flexibility and comfort. The Eagle LT race suit uses a new stretch material called Eagle fabric. This Eagle Fabric is lighter, more breathable and abrasion resistant than the traditional stretch material. SPARCO EAGLE LT RACE SUIT IMPROVED FIRE RESISTANCE Traditional racing suits have layers of fabric sewn together with a quilted pattern. The quilting provides air space between the layers which bloats in a fire, this provides thermal protection to the driver. HOCOTEX® creates a honeycomb structure with internal air cells that ensure the driver even more fire protection. Traditional box quilting creates an average of 300 air chambers in a size 52 suit. The Eagle LT has over 60,000 microcell air chambers which provide a 10 to 12% increase in heat protection performance.

Bell KC7-CMS Kart Racing Helmet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet. What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell KC7-CMS is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon/Kevlar shell, Snell-FIA CMR-2016 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers. Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement. How do I choose the right size kart racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at . What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?Look for the Snell K2020 certification for adult karting or the Snell-FIA CMR-2016 certification for youth karting (15 and under). These ensure your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), these standards are designed specifically for motorsports. Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition. How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every five years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately. Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue. How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching. Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting. Is the Snell-FIA CMR-2016 rating important?Yes. The CMR-2016 certification is the most widely accepted youth kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance. Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet?Yes. Wide eye ports make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free. Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers. Can I buy a used helmet for racing?It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like . How can I prevent helmet fogging during races?Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps. What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race. How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage. What is the difference between Snell K2020 and Snell-FIA CMR-2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR-2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards. Are tear-off visors necessary for kart racing?Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common. How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible. Can I customize my kart racing helmet?Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options for fit and aesthetics. However, any modifications should not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or safety certifications. Where can I buy a certified racing helmet?Buy from trusted experts like Discovery Parts, online or in-person at one of our retail locations.

The structured cooling vein design of Chillout Systems garments cools your core even at temperatures close to ambient (55o F optimum), cooling the whole body and boosting your mental acuity. Systems using ice water are often too cold for efficient cooling, causing the capillaries just below the skin surface to close, slowing blood flow back to your core. Ice water systems can give the perception of cooling by changing the temperature of the skin without actually lowering your body temperature. The Chillout Systems Pro Touring Sport SFI Cooling Shirt is fire-rated and specifically designed to contour to your torso, simulating a second skin to maximize contact between the cooling veins and your body. CHILLOUT SYSTEMS PRO TOURING SPORT COOLING SHIRT DETAILS Manufacturer: Chillout Systems SFI-rated Single layer Lightweight Triple the tubing ADD CONNECTORS TO FIT YOUR SYSTEM Chillout Pro Touring shirts do not come standard with hose-end connectors.
