Racing underwear is not an optional extra, it’s a key part of both safety and performance. In rally and circuit racing, a proper base layer improves comfort inside the suit, reduces friction, helps manage sweat, and most importantly, provides an additional layer of protection when fire resistance is required.

At ORECA Store, we offer drivers underwear for motorsport with both FIA-approved fireproof options and non-homologated cotton versions for trackdays and karting.

FIA-approved fireproof racing underwear (FIA 8856-2018)

For competition use, FIA underwear is designed to meet strict safety requirements. Our FIA base layers comply with:

• FIA 8856-2018

These fireproof (ignifugé) base layers are made with specialised flame-resistant materials, helping provide an extra level of protection under your racing suit while keeping comfort and breathability in mind.

Non-FIA underwear for trackdays and karting

Not every driver needs FIA homologation. For trackdays, casual circuit outings, or karting, non-FIA underwear is often the most practical choice.
These products are typically made in cotton, offering comfort and everyday wearability for driving sessions where FIA compliance is not required.

Essential base layer items for drivers

We stock the key underwear pieces needed for a complete motorsport setup, including:

• Balaclavas (head socks)
• Tops / long-sleeve shirts
• Pants / long johns
• Socks

Choosing the right combination improves comfort inside the suit and helps you stay focused during long stints.

Cooling vests: performance comfort like Formula 1

Heat management is a real performance factor, especially in summer events, long rally stages, or hot cockpit conditions. That’s why we also offer cooling vests, inspired by high-level motorsport solutions and widely used in professional racing environments such as Formula 1.
A cooling vest helps reduce overheating, improves endurance and keeps your driving performance consistent when conditions get extreme.
