The essential accessories for every karting driver

Getting properly equipped to start

To fully enjoy karting, you need the right accessories: comfortable, practical and above all safe.

Racing suit and shoes

CIK-FIA approved suits protect you against abrasion while providing freedom of movement. Karting shoes ensure a good grip on the pedals and support the ankle.

The helmet: safety first

The karting helmet is the primary protection element. It must be SNELL approved, perfectly fitted to the driver’s head shape, and equipped with a visor adapted to track conditions (clear, tinted, iridium, anti-fog). At ITAKAshop, our Arai, Bell and Zamp models guarantee safety and comfort, from leisure to competition.

Gloves: comfort and precision

Karting gloves provide grip on the steering wheel, protect against blisters, and improve driving precision. Technical textile models guarantee comfort and control, even during long sessions.

Body protection

The rib protector is essential to absorb shocks and vibrations, especially during long runs. The neck brace protects the cervical area – often overlooked, but essential for safety.

Bags and practical accessories

A driver bag or helmet bag makes it easy to transport your gear. Extra visors, spare gloves and maintenance products complete the driver’s essential kit.

Conclusion

A well-equipped driver gains confidence and enjoys the track even more. All these accessories are available at ITAKA Shop to support you from your very first laps.
