Driver Equipment at Go Kart Center

Good driver equipment makes karting safer and more comfortable, whether you drive at a rental track, take part in a karting school or race in a club series. In this section you will find kart and motorcycle helmets, driver suits for hobby and rental use, kart gloves from Speed and 32FIVE, kart shoes from Speed, Alpinestars and Sparco, neck collars and rib protectors, balaclavas with Go Kart Center designs, rain suits and bags. We help drivers choose the right size every day at our track, so ask us if you have any doubt.

The complete driver kit

Comfort and safety in a kart come from the whole kit working together: a helmet that fits, a suit that lets you move freely, gloves for grip, thin-soled shoes for pedal feel, and for many drivers a neck collar and rib protector. Each piece reduces fatigue, and a driver who is less tired is more consistent and safer on track. If you are building a kit from scratch, start with the helmet and gloves and add the rest as you drive more.

Gear for every kind of karting

Rental and leisure karting, karting schools and club racing all benefit from proper driver equipment. Many tracks provide basic gear, but your own equipment fits better, is more hygienic and gives more confidence. For official competitions, check the regulations of the championship, which define the homologation required for suits, helmets and other equipment.

Caring for your gear

Wash suits according to the label, usually at a low temperature with a mild detergent and without fabric softener, and let them dry in the shade. Gloves and shoes should be aired after every session so they dry out, and stored away from direct sunlight. Check seams, closures and soles regularly and replace equipment that is worn, since worn gear protects less and gives less grip.

Helmets and certification

A helmet must fit snugly, without pressure points, and must not move when you shake your head. For karting, helmets with Snell or FIA approval are required in competitions, while rental tracks usually provide helmets or require road-approved helmets according to their rules. Motorcycle helmets carry ECE 22.06 approval. Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows and compare it with the size chart of each brand.
