OMP Tecnica Evo Racing Suit — FIA 8856-2018. Lightweight performance that doesn't break the bank.
The Tecnica Evo is FIA 8856-2018 homologated and built to deliver pro-level features at a reasonable price. Ultraflat, anti-rubbing seams stay comfortable and snag-free in tight cockpits. Pre-curved sleeves run on a fully-floating system for unrestricted movement, and the "Fishbone" quilting is engineered around real seated-driving ergonomics. Unique to this suit is OMP's AFS (Advance Fastening System) — a slightly elastic, partially-hidden retractable belt that adds comfort without the bulk of a traditional belt. The Nomex material itself is light — just 295 gr/sq.m — and includes OMP's Dry System 3D inserts for serious breathability without giving up fire protection.

Good step up from the First Evo
Moved from the First Evo to the Tecnica and the weight difference is obvious. Better fit and more comfortable for long sessions.

Great lightweight suit at a fair price
The Tecnica Evo is well regarded in our club racing group for good reason. Comfortable for long events and the FIA cert covers everything.

Tecnica Evo is excellent value
Personal favorite at this price point. Lighter than the Competition and more comfortable. OMP sizing was accurate and it's held up well through a full season.
