I did do a search through the forums but couldn't find anything...

Basically I'm 6'5 and need to find a kart suit. Problem I have is every suit I read about size wise would be a massive waist size. Can anyone recommend a suit and even a brand that do suits for the tall and thin?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Mate, just give Grand Prix Racewear a call - 0844 8801701. I'm sure they can advise you...

All the best...

You might find the waist measurements aren't as generous as the sizing charts suggest.

I had the same doubts when ordering an OMP 3 layer nomex suit, as for my height it suggested a Teletubby waist. However, apart from the velcro belt hanging a bit loose, the actual suit fits well.

Also, I'd guess the manufacturers expect karters, even those of 6'5" to be light, so they'll make their kart suits to fit a slim frame.
