Simpson Air Strike Karting Suit - Lightweight Polyester, Adult & Youth Sizes, 4 Colors
$349.95

If you're serious about karting, you know how crucial it is to have gear that not only looks good but also performs under pressure. The Simpson AIR Strike karting suit is one of those pieces of gear that just gets it right. Made from a lightweight yet tough polyester fabric, it's got this ultra-soft knitted liner that feels great against your skin. Trust me, when you're out on the track, the last thing you want is a suit that sticks to you or bunches up. This suit keeps you cool and comfortable, even when the sun's blazing down on you during those summer races.

What really sets the AIR Strike apart is its thoughtful design. It’s engineered for airflow with mesh ventilation strategically placed in the elbow and knee gussets. Plus, there's an exhaust panel on the upper back that helps release heat. So, you can focus on your driving without feeling like you’re in a sauna.

Flexibility is key when you're navigating tight turns, and the X-Tech stretch panels in the lower back and crotch give you that freedom of movement you need. It fits snugly but allows for enough stretch to adapt to your driving position—no more feeling restricted when you're trying to push your kart to the limit.

And let’s talk style. The AIR Strike comes in four bold colorways, so you can find one that matches your vibe. Whether you're an adult or need a youth size for the next generation of racers, there's something for everyone. Plus, if you’re looking to customize, Simpson offers options for custom karting suits, so you can really make it your own.

Crafted right here in California, this suit combines quality craftsmanship with performance. It’s durable, lightweight, and those vibrant sublimated graphics? They won’t crack or fade on you, even after countless laps. If you’re a kart racer who demands gear that works as hard as you do, the Simpson AIR Strike karting suit is definitely worth checking out.

Who is Simpson?

Simpson Performance Products is a world-renowned company that supplies parts for the motorsport industry. Based in the US, the company offers safety equipment used in racing such as driver suits, helmets, harnesses, head restraint, racing shoes, and more. Today, they have been the market leader, and their products can be seen in almost all racing disciplines anywhere in the world.

Built Out of Realization

During the early years of motorsport racing, safety is not the prerogative of most racing drivers and race organizers. In 1958, the company’s founder who was only 18 at that time got involved in a racing accident and broke both his arms, realizing the need for safety equipment to eliminate these mishaps. After years of trial and error, they were able to perfect their product. Thus Simpson products were born.

Years of Perfection

The very first prototype Simpson created was a chute made out of military surplus parts. This ended up putting their car up the tree and them in jail. But with continuous research and development, they were able to create a great product that has been noticed by Racing Legend “Big Daddy” Don Garlits. From then on they introduced other safety apparels that have now become the standard gear for all motorsport racing.

Pioneers of Technology

Simpson has always tried to stay ahead of its game when it comes to safety. They help in designing the first umbilical cords for NASA. They also introduced the very first fire suit for motorsport racing which was used by 30 out of 33 racing drivers during the 1967 Indianapolis 500. Simpson has since been dubbed as the father of a fire suit. Hence, it is often referred to as “Simpson suit”.
