Default Race suit

Is this a good/decent suit? Have you heard of K1 race gear (k1racegear.com)?

Just be sure it meets whatever specs are needed for whatever group you're going to driving with. It says FIA spec, but that might mean spec for carts, and may not apply to cars, I'm not sure... If you're not doing anything competitive, then it's probably a moot point - looks like a nice suit though

Yes, not for competitive use. Good lord, I have enough difficulty using my turn signals.

It does look good and the price is LOW. That is my concern.

This is actually a kart suit which means that is is helpful in avoiding roadrash from falling off of a kart. Suits for roadracing are fire resistant and are typically made of nomex. The problem with kart suits is that they melt if they catch on fire.

If you are interested in a roadracing suit they typically start at around $300.

Hope this helps.
