March 4, 2025
Brandwerende gekeurde onderkleding voor de autocross

Besides karting, we have many customers who participate in autocross. Autocross is all about speed, excitement, and safety. Since 2020, the Dutch Autosport Association (NAB) has required flame-retardant underwear for all classes under its banner, such as FAC, NAC, and MAB. A complete set—consisting of a balaclava, socks, shirt, and pants—is essential to comply with the FIA 8856-2018 standard and protect yourself.

At KartKings.nl, you'll find everything you need to hit the track safely and comfortably, in accordance with NAB regulations. Below, we highlight several top products from Alpinestars, all of which comply with the FIA 8856-2018 (or 2022) standard.
The Alpinestars ZX Evo V2 Balaclava (Black/Anthracite) offers optimal protection for your head and neck. Made of soft, flame-retardant material, it's comfortable and effectively wicks away sweat. For your feet, the Alpinestars Race V4 Socks (Black) are a must-have. They're thin, breathable, and ensure a perfect fit in your racing boots.
