A quality women’s kart racing suit is an investment, so taking care of it will help it serve you well for seasons. Start with washing: always use cold water and a mild detergent—harsh soaps or bleach can break down the fire-resistant fabric. Skip the dryer; hang the suit to air dry in a cool, shaded spot to preserve its shape and protective properties.
Storage matters too. Hang the suit on a wide hanger (narrow hangers can stretch the shoulders) in a dry closet, away from direct sunlight or chemicals like fuel or oil. Sunlight fades fabric, while chemicals can weaken the FR materials. Before each race, do a quick check: look for frayed stitching, small rips, or thinning fabric—especially at the knees and elbows. Fix minor issues early, and replace the suit if damage compromises safety.
With simple care, your suit will stay in top condition, race after race.
