OMP Tecnica Evo Racing Driver Suit
FIA 8856-2018 Racing Suit With Classic OMP Style
The OMP Tecnica Evo Racing Driver Suit brings updated performance features to one of OMP’s most popular classically styled racing suits. Drawing from OMP’s Formula 1 experience, the Tecnica Evo is built as a lightweight, breathable, and feature-filled driver suit for racers who want certified protection without unnecessary bulk.
Certified to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, the Tecnica Evo combines three-layer fire-resistant construction with modern mobility features, breathable fabric technology, and a comfortable classic fit.
Lightweight Three-Layer Protection
The OMP Tecnica Evo uses a lightweight three-layer construction with a Nomex outer shell fabric for excellent heat and flame resistance. The suit is designed to deliver strong safety performance while maintaining the comfort and flexibility needed for long sessions in the cockpit.
OMP’s Dry System 3D material is incorporated into the suit to improve breathability and driver comfort, helping manage heat during hot race days and demanding driving conditions.
Dry System 3D Breathability
The Tecnica Evo features OMP’s Dry System 3D, a breathable fabric technology used in strategic flexible insert areas. These inserts help improve airflow, reduce heat buildup, and support driver comfort when temperatures rise inside the car.
Built For Driver Mobility
Pre-curved sleeves and fully-floating arms with elastic bellows help reduce restriction while driving. This construction allows the suit to move more naturally with the driver during steering, shifting, braking, and entering or exiting the vehicle.
The suit’s Fishbone quilting is engineered for improved ergonomics, giving the Tecnica Evo a professional look while supporting comfort in the seated driving position.
AFS Retractable Belt System
A standout feature of the OMP Tecnica Evo is OMP’s AFS Advanced Fastening System retractable belt. This semi-elastic belt is partially hidden within the suit, helping improve comfort while creating a flatter, cleaner profile around the waist.
Comfort-Focused Details
Ultra-flat anti-rubbing seams help reduce irritation and prevent unwanted suit snagging in tight cockpits. A shaped collar with soft-knitted inner material adds comfort around the neck, while the classic-fit design gives the suit a familiar, comfortable feel.
