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. That's where the Simpson AIR Strike karting suit comes into play. I’ve put this suit through its paces on the track, and I can tell you, it’s a game changer.

First off, the fabric is a lightweight yet durable polyester that feels great against your skin. It’s got an ultra-soft knitted liner that keeps you comfortable even when the sun is blazing down on those summer race days. No more awkward bunching or sticking—this suit really lets you focus on what matters: driving.

One of the standout features is the AIRvent mesh panels strategically placed in the elbows and knees. These little guys do wonders for airflow, helping to keep you cool when things heat up. Plus, there’s an exhaust panel on the upper back that helps release heat, which is a lifesaver during those long races.

Flexibility? You bet. The X-Tech stretch panels in the lower back and crotch area give you a fit that feels secure but also allows for that crucial range of motion. You’ll appreciate this when you’re leaning into those tight turns or hitting the accelerator hard.

And let’s not forget about the style—this suit comes in four bold colorways that really pop, so you can express yourself on the track. It’s available in both Adult and Youth sizes, which is great for those of us with kids who are just starting out in karting.

Quality is key here, and Simpson has really nailed it. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and if you’re looking for something a bit more personalized, they even offer options for custom karting suits that can match your unique style. Plus, it’s all made right here in California, which is a nice touch.

In short, if you’re looking for a karting suit that combines comfort, durability, and style, the Simpson AIR Strike is definitely worth considering. It’s gear that works as hard as you do, and trust me, you’ll feel the difference on the track.

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”.
