Anyone using the OMP KS-3 suit? Looking for thoughts or opinions. Need to get a suit soon as I’m going to do an arrive and drive ka100 race weekend. I actually have a no name suit I bought (new) on ebay but I doubt the cik/homologation tag is authentic! Pic of the suit I have.

Been exceedingly pleased with our OMP gear so far. Will be replacing our AlpineStars suit with a custom OMP this summer. Purchasing through https://drivenracing.shop/collections/karting-wear

I have the OMP KS-3 suit. i like it because it is three layers vs other suits being two layers and I’m going for max safety. For my body, I wish it was an inch or two inches taller because I have to hunch down a little too get it to go over my shoulder.
I have washed it a few times and it has cleaned up very well and still looks and feels great.

I’m 5-10 and weigh 160lb not sure whether I should get the 52 or 54. Both are in my size range. Probably better to get the larger one, don’t want it too tight.
I’m 5’8", 170lbs and have size 54.
I think it will be short for you. The waist will be fine.
I should mention that I use a rib protector and wear a T-shirt and underwear.
If you want me to measure anything on it, send a picture of what you want measured and I’ll do it and send along the info.

I finally ordered the OMP suit. I decided to order the size 52 which it says is for weight 165lb-187lb and height 5-6 to 5-11. I am 5-10 and 165lb and in good shape so it should have been perfect but it was too small. The height was ok but the top half of the suit was too tight even without a rib protector. Just a heads up if anyone else is considering the OMP suit. FYI I really like the look and feel of the suit, I have ordered a 54 now.
It’s my go-to as well. Weird thing about it, is that fit changes across models. I have a KS1-R and a KS2-R in the same size, the KS1 is definitely bigger by quite a margin
If you ever want some details on fit, try reaching out to the folks at Driven Performance Products. They handle OMP standard and custom tailored lines and can advise on fit details. We use them for our custom race wear and gloves and will be replacing our AlpineStars suit and gloves with stuff from them.

Just received the size 54 OMP KS-3 suit and it is the perfect fit. As I mentioned before I’m 5-10 and 165lb. Can’t wait to try it soon, I’ll get some photo’s so you can see the fit if interested.
