Bespoke design (our designers create it): +£95

Custom fit: Included as standard

Homologated (FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1) suits meet the official safety standard required by many competitive karting series. If your championship regulations specify a minimum FIA standard, you'll need the homologated option.

Non-homologated suits are ideal for recreational karting, track days, and series that don't mandate FIA approval. They are made to the same high quality but without the FIA certification. Always check your series regulations if you're unsure, or ask us and we'll advise.

If you use our online X-PRO configurator to build your own design, there is no design fee. The configurator is free to use.

The £95 bespoke design fee applies if you want our in-house design team to create a unique design from scratch based on your brief, reference images, or an existing suit you'd like us to recreate. We'll produce a production proof for your approval before anything is manufactured.

Yes, all logos and branding are included as standard. Simply send us your logo files (ideally vector .AI, .EPS or high-res .PNG) and tell us where you'd like them placed. Our design team will incorporate them into your proof for approval before production begins.

The Marina UNIK is a premium kart suit designed and manufactured in Barberà del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain, and we are the exclusive UK agent. It sits at a higher price point than the X-PRO and is known for its exceptional fit, fabric quality, and finish.

FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1

Danrow AeroSuit

The first ever aero kart suit to gain FIA approval. Fully customisable, with an elastic-fit construction that is unique in karting.

Lead time: around 4 weeks + shipping

Homologation: FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1

Sizing: height and weight only (elastic fit)

UK exclusive agent for Danrow

The Danrow AeroSuit is the first ever aero kart suit to gain FIA approval, and we are the exclusive UK agent for it. Like our X-PRO and the Marina UNIK, it is FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 homologated and fully customisable. What sets it apart is its aerodynamic design, a first in karting, alongside an elastic quality to the suit that gives a far more forgiving fit than a conventional cut.

Yes. The AeroSuit is FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 homologated, the standard required by many competitive karting series, and it is the first aero kart suit ever to hold that approval. If your championship regulations specify a minimum FIA standard, this suit meets it. Always check your series regulations if you're unsure, or ask us and we'll advise.

Pricing depends on your design and specification, so please get in touch and we'll give you a full quote including shipping to your location. You can build a design yourself or have our team create a bespoke one.

Around 4 weeks, plus shipping. Lead times are measured from the point your order goes into production and may vary during peak season. If you have a race deadline, tell us when you enquire and we'll do our best to work to it.

There are two routes. You can build a design on our X-PRO configurator and we'll map it across onto the correct AeroSuit template, or our in-house team can create a bespoke design from your brief, reference images, or an existing suit. Once the design is agreed we'll confirm the price, take payment, and submit it into production. Get in touch and we'll guide you through it.

The AeroSuit is unique on fit. Because the fabric has an elastic quality, all we need is your total height and weight. There's no full measurement form to complete. That elastic construction lets the suit adapt to your shape, giving a closer, more comfortable fit than a standard cut. If you're unsure, send us your height and weight and we'll advise.

Yes. We make the AeroSuit for junior and youth drivers too. As with adults, we only need the driver's total height and weight thanks to the suit's elastic fit. Let us know these when you enquire and we'll take care of the rest.

Accessories lead time: 5–6 weeks

Commercial Production

Yes, we regularly fulfil orders for film, TV commercials, brand activations, and experiential events. We've worked with major brands and agencies on custom replica suits and branded racewear for non-racing use. Please note that surcharges will apply for non-branded requests.

For commercial or production work with tight deadlines, contact us directly with your brief and deadline and we'll advise on feasibility and pricing.

We can supply fully custom race suits, kart suits, gloves, and accessories for commercial purposes. Suits can be made to replicate specific designs or liveries. Please note that surcharges apply for non-branded requests, and minimum lead times still apply. Get in touch with your brief and we'll advise on the best option.

X-PRO vs Marina. How ordering differs

Design your suit

Use our X-PRO Kit Configurator to build your design online, or send us your own artwork, reference image, or brief and we'll create it for you, for a £95 bespoke design fee.

Submit for a quote

Submit your design via the configurator or our contact form. We'll reply promptly with a full price breakdown including shipping to your location.

Confirm & pay

Let us know you'd like to proceed and we'll send an invoice. Payment kicks off the production process.

Take and submit your measurements

Download our Custom Fit Size Service form, follow the illustrated guide for each measurement, then submit it through our AI-powered Size Checker for instant validation.

Download the size guide Open the Size Checker

Approve your proof

Our designers create a production proof, including a 3D visual, for your sign-off. Nothing goes into manufacture without your written approval.

Into production & delivery

Your suit enters production and is shipped directly to your door, tracked and insured.

Each Marina product has its own dedicated configurator page on our website, where the price updates as you build your design. Head to the Marina UNIK page for kartwear, or the Marina Unic Plus page for car racing suits. Once you've finalised your design, submit it to us. If you're happy to proceed, we'll take payment and then submit the design directly into production.

You'll also need to provide your size as part of the order. Pick a standard size from the Marina chart, or go custom fit by completing the CR size guide.

Design questions

Absolutely. Send us a photo, sketch, or description of what you're after and our design team will recreate it on the suit template as closely as possible. You'll receive a proof to review and request any changes before production. The bespoke design fee (£95) applies for this service.

We work with you until you're happy. Once your proof is shared, you can request amendments such as colour tweaks, logo repositioning, or text changes, and we'll update the design accordingly. We won't send anything to production until you're fully satisfied.

The best formats are vector files (.AI or .EPS), which scale perfectly at any size. High-resolution .PNG files (ideally 300dpi+) also work well. If you only have a low-res logo, let us know and we can advise. In some cases we can work with it. In others we may need to request an alternative.

Download our Custom Fit Size Service form below and follow the illustrated guide to take each measurement. Once you've completed it, submit it through our AI-powered Size Checker. It validates your measurements against real customer data and flags anything unusual before your suit goes into production, so there's no waiting around for us to come back to you by email. Once you've confirmed your measurements, send them over to us as soon as payment has been received.

Download the size guide Open the Size Checker

We offer three fits: slim, regular and loose. About 95% of drivers pick slim, which is a fitted, race-style cut. Regular gives you a bit more room. Loose is exactly what it sounds like, very generous, and works best for larger drivers (typically 95kg+). Custom fit is included with all three at no extra cost. Every suit is made to your exact measurements, not generic sizing.

Just ask. Since all suits are made to your measurements, being "between sizes" isn't an issue. We work from your actual body measurements rather than a standard size chart. If you have any concerns or unusual proportions, mention this when you submit and we'll advise accordingly.

Marina standard sizes run from European 44 to 68. The chart matches each size to a range of weight, height, chest, waist and hip measurements. If your chest or waist sits outside the standard range for your height, the chart shows an EXTRASIZE option for that exception. Download the chart below to find your size. Once you've confirmed your size, send it over to us as soon as payment has been received.

Just ask. If you're going custom-fit, being "between sizes" isn't an issue because your suit is cut to your exact measurements. If you're choosing standard sizes and your build doesn't fall neatly into one size (chest broader than the chart suggests for your height, for example), mention this when you enquire. There's often an EXTRASIZE option in the chart, or custom fit may be the better route.

Yes, we regularly make suits for junior and youth drivers of all ages, including children as young as 8–10 years old. Since suits are made to measure, age is less relevant than actual measurements. Just let us know the driver's age, height, and build when you enquire and we'll guide you through the sizing process.

Yes, our X-PRO FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 homologated option is available in junior sizes. If your child is competing in a series that requires FIA approval, we can accommodate this. Check your series regulations or ask us if you're unsure which standard applies.
