This karting jacket is designed for all forms of karting, from arrive-and-drive open practice days at your local go-kart track to dirt and asphalt oval racing. This specialized karting jacket is constructed from Cordura® abrasion-resistant material, and features suede leather on the back, in the shoulders, and the back of the arms for added protection from heat, debris, and abrasion. The right-elbow area also includes additional padding for protection against inadvertent contact with a hot engine when sitting in the kart, allowing for better driver comfort. Also included to aid comfort, the jacket includes elastic gussets to give a full 360 degree range of motion, and a newly updated heavy duty zipper won’t come undone on the track. All of these features have been incorporated into this design based on feedback from K1 Race Gear's customers, as well as K1 Race Gear's own demands for a karting jacket. As racers ourselves, K1 don’t sell anything that K1 wouldn’t be proud to use. You can buy this product with confidence, knowing that it has been designed not simply off of a template, but rather for karters, by karters.
