Alpinestars KMX-9 V3 Graphic 5 Race Suit Navy Blue/Red (FIA)

Homologated to FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1, the KMX-9 V3 Graphic 5 is a one-piece karting race suit from Alpinestars. It is aimed at entry-level and intermediate drivers who are starting to compete and need FIA-approved kit. The Athletic-Regular cut is offered in sizes 40 to 60.

The Graphic 5 livery uses a navy base overlaid with a black brushstroke-style pattern that is densest across the upper torso. A red band crosses the chest and carries a white Alpinestars logotype. Red inserts also run down the sides of the torso and along the sleeves. White panels with the star logo sit on the shoulders. The stand-up collar, the cuffs and the leg cuffs are black, as is the waistband, which ends in a red section. Each leg carries a white star logo and a vertical brand logotype. The back is marked by V-shaped stitching.

The suit has a two-layer build that keeps weight low. An outer layer of Exclusive fabric is joined to a soft knitted lining, and the inner terry layer is made of 100% polyester. Tech mesh panels under the arms and in the crotch improve airflow. Stretch zones on the back, the shoulders and the waist move with the body. Anatomically shaped panels on the sleeves, the legs and the torso follow the seated position in a kart. The floating arm design allows the shoulders a full range of motion.

The suit closes with a diagonal front opening fitted with a metal YKK zip. The zip has a double slider, which allows extra adjustment of the fit. The evacuation handle is a new Alpinestars design carried over from Formula 1.
