Racing Suit

So, I posted this on AMG private lounge in the two separate sections but got no response. My old racing suit is pretty much towards the end of its life, and I was looking at getting something new. I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendation, could use some help. I got a few races coming up this year that I need to get a suit for. I used to go for alpine stars or Sparco. I would of posted this in the other section but they are usually dead and no on responds lol.

It would depend on what time of year you will be racing, class requirements as far as SFI / your specific racing sanctioning body required, and budget of course. Just take a look at the rule book and see what they require, and once you have that, just shop around and read reviews. I'm assuming you'll be racing in the heat, so I'd recommend something light, that complies with your specific race body specs. Don't forget the under suit, gloves, socks, shoes, helmet, etc

I have owned 3 Sparco X-light suits. Then I got an OMP One Evo. It is incredibly light and comfortable for a 3 layer suit. Best racewear purchase I have made in the 15 years I’ve been doing this sport. You get what you pay for in this case.
