Frequently Asked Questions

What certifications does the OMP ONE EVO Balaclava have?

The OMP ONE EVO Balaclava is dual-certified to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 standards. These are the two primary international certifications required for flame-resistant racing underwear in sanctioned motorsport events worldwide.

Is this balaclava required for racing?

Most sanctioned motorsport series — including those governed by FIA, SCCA, NASA, and similar bodies — require FIA or SFI-certified flame-resistant underwear including a balaclava. The OMP ONE EVO meets both standards, making it compliant for the vast majority of racing series.

What material is the OMP ONE EVO Balaclava made from?

The balaclava is constructed from Nomex, a premium flame-resistant aramid fiber widely used in professional motorsport. Nomex provides excellent heat resistance, moisture management, and durability without sacrificing comfort during extended use.

Will this balaclava fit under my racing helmet?

Yes. The OMP ONE EVO features a seamless, low-profile ergonomic design that is compatible with all full-face racing helmets. The slim construction ensures no bunching or pressure points under the helmet liner.

What sizes does the OMP ONE EVO Balaclava come in?

The balaclava is available in two sizes: S/M (Small/Medium) and L/XL (Large/Extra Large), in both White and Black colorways.

How do I care for a Nomex racing balaclava?

Nomex balaclavas should be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, as these can degrade the flame-resistant properties of the fabric over time.

How does the OMP ONE EVO compare to other racing balaclavas?

The OMP ONE EVO is part of OMP's premium ONE EVO line, designed for drivers who prioritize both safety certification and on-track comfort. Its seamless construction and dual FIA/SFI homologation make it a top choice for professional and serious amateur racers across all disciplines.
