Kids' Karting: What Protective Gear to Choose from Age 6?

Karting enfant : quel équipement de protection choisir dès 6 ans ?

Kids' Karting, from 6 years old!

Karting is one of the most accessible motorsport activities for young drivers. From the age of 6, children can learn to drive on the track, whether for leisure or competition. But before getting behind the wheel, appropriate equipment is essential to ensure their safety and comfort.

At NTRB Racewears, our entire range can be adapted for children: dry gloves, rain gloves, and personalized suits. Here's a comprehensive guide to properly equip your young driver.

Kids' Karting Gloves

Hands are in constant contact with the steering wheel: gloves are therefore the first piece of equipment not to be overlooked. They protect against friction, improve grip, and provide comfort throughout the session.

Dry Karting Gloves

For sessions in good weather, our karting gloves are available in children's sizes. They offer:

  • Optimal hand protection against friction and vibrations
  • Precise grip on the steering wheel for better control
  • A tailored fit for small hands
  • Several colors available: Carbon Grey, Pink, Racing Blue, Carbon Grey & Fire Orange

Kids' Rain Karting Gloves

Children are particularly sensitive to cold and humidity. Our rain gloves are therefore even more important for young drivers:

  • Waterproof to keep hands dry in the rain
  • Fleece lining to maintain warmth and prevent fingers from going numb
  • Maintained grip even in wet weather
  • Available in several colors, custom ordered for full personalization

⚠️ Important: Karting gloves should never be machine washed. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry.

Personalized Kids' Karting Suit

The karting suit is the driver's primary protective equipment. It protects the body in case of a fall and provides a distinct visual identity on the track. At NTRB Racewears, our suit is 100% customizable and available for children from 6 years old.

You can choose:

  • The colors and design in your team's or your child's colors
  • The addition of a first name, race number, or logo
  • A fit adapted to your child's body shape

A well-fitted suit is also a suit that provides better protection. Do not hesitate to contact us to provide your child's measurements to get the best possible fit.

How to Choose the Right Size for a Child?

For gloves, measure your child's hand circumference at the knuckles (without the thumb). For the suit, we will need height, weight, and key measurements (chest circumference, waist circumference, leg length). Consult our size guides on each product page or contact us directly for personalized advice.

In Summary: Complete Equipment for the Young Driver

  • Dry Gloves — for sessions in good weather
  • Rain Gloves — essential from the first drops of rain
  • Personalized Suit — protection and style on the track
