Is the K1 brand any good for karting wear?

[Mungodrums]

Thx.

Suits and gloves are fine If it's a rib protector go with bengio or ribtec 4

Yep, their suits are decent quality. Shoes were no better or worse than import stuff we've seen. All run small and quality is less than desirable.

My K1 shoes actually held up pretty well... I used them for motorcycling too. But the soles were more "plastic" than rubber. I'll go back to wrestling shoes before (over)paying for racing shoes again. Suit has been fine, but the collar is scratchy compared to my OMP. But we're talking a price difference of 3x, so.....
