Sparco Fireproof Underwear
( number of products: 92 )Sparco underwear is the base layer a driver wears under the race suit and helmet. The range includes long johns, roll-neck underwear tops and T-shirts, balaclavas, long and short socks, plus briefs, boxer shorts and women's underwear. Most of the long johns and roll-neck tops are FIA homologated.
Building a base layer from Sparco underwear
Racing underwear works as a set. Long johns, the full-length underwear trousers, and a roll-neck top cover the body under the race suit. A balaclava goes under the helmet, and long socks close the gap between the suit and the race boots. Sparco makes many of these pieces in matching families, so a top, long johns and socks can come from the same line.
FIA homologation goes well beyond the main layers. Alongside long johns and roll-neck tops, it covers several balaclavas and socks, as well as briefs, boxer shorts and women's underwear. This matters if you race in events held under FIA regulations, many of which require homologated fireproof underwear as part of the driver's kit.
Tops, socks and other options
For the upper body you can choose between roll-neck underwear tops and T-shirts. A roll-neck reaches up under the collar of the suit and covers the neck. Socks come in long and short lengths, and the selection also includes patterned socks with Martini Racing, Gulf and Lancia designs, and more. Underwear shorts complete the choice for the lower body.

Is a Sparco head sock the same as a balaclava?
Yes. Head sock is another name for a balaclava: a fitted hood that covers the head and neck, leaves an opening for the face and is worn under the helmet. On this page you'll find Sparco head socks listed as balaclavas.
Can I wear a balaclava for go-karting?
Yes. A balaclava sits under a karting helmet just as it does under a car helmet, and it keeps the helmet lining cleaner. This is especially useful with shared rental helmets. If your championship sets a homologation requirement for driver clothing, check the homologation on the product page before you buy.
