I purchased a custom HRX suit last year and I'm very happy with the fit, finish and quality! They helped with the design, logo placement and the suit is incredibly lightweight and breathable. I'm a big fan. I've have the top line suits from Alpinestars, Sparco and OMP. I like HRX much better and will never go back. Below is the link.

Our team ordered from Freem USA, the suits are really nice, light and breathable. Good service helping with the design/logos, and good support getting the measurements right. Ryon came to our shop to measure everybody who lives in SoCal, for those of us across the country, we did Facetime calls to make sure all measurements were accurate. They are big in the karting world and expanding their presence into auto racing in the US.

I’m seeing more pros in these suits than any other make.

I've seen a few of thw HRX suits with the graphics peeling/failing after a year or two. The stitching and fabric seem fine though.

I have a custom Stand21. Super light and breathable. All the logos/graphics are embroidered. Would definitely buy another one when the time comes.

While I don't spare the expense of a good helmet (Stand21, now Schuberth), I watch for sales on suits at OG Racing, OMP and some others. I think you can get a great, lightweight suit for reasonable money when the manufacturers and vendors have sales, discontinue colors or models or are moving older stock.

I've bought a couple Sparco Superleggera and an OMP-One suit for quite a discount over the last ten years and I'm very happy. Here's a page of just Sparco offerings from OG https://www.ogracing.com/collections...acturer_Sparco

They're based in Barcelona, where I live and my best friend works there.

If there was enough interest, I could ask my friend for a discount.

Their showroom is amazing, look at what they brought this week:
