OMP at PRI
Despite the unfortunate and unstable economic situation, over 1,300 exhibiting companies with buyers from more then 50 countries gathered this past week in Orlando, Florida for the 21st annual Performance Racing Industry Trade Show. PRI is the world’s largest racing trade show, offering consumers and racing enthusiasts a preview of the latest advances in racing technology and product lines. The show kicked off on Thursday morning and ended its first day with an exciting go-kart race with an all-star line-up which included some of our own OMP drivers; Alex Tagliani, Nelson Philippe, Vitor Meira and Will Power. OMP was proud to reveal our new state-of-the art designs for our Racing suits, gloves, boots, and safety equipment. Guests at the show were able to experience first hand the new innovations OMP has to offer as well as gain a better insight about the technology used for the 2009 products. Over all it was another great year at PRI for OMP and we look forward to the upcoming 2009 season, and we hope our “racing spirit” will help us beat the challenges.

Featured Product

TECNICA SUPERLEGGERA - IA01820

To many OMP’s Tecnica Light is considered the lightest and most comfortable suit on the market.  To all our customers and to all who are not convinced we ask to take the challenge of comparing side by side the weight and comfort of the new Tecnica Superleggera, literally translated from Italian to English to mean “Super-Light”.

sizes: 46 to 64
Colors:
Blue| Red| Black| Silver| White









Tip of the Month:

The new ONE and HTG gloves feature an ultra-thin flame retardant rubber mixture on the palm that achieves the maximum grip after just few minutes of wearing thanks to the body heat. This glove is ideal for any type of wheel (genuine or suede leathers).  The glove needs to be cleaned with water only, therefore we recommend not to use any commercial products nevertheless it can’t be dry cleaned.

Curiosity of the Month:

OMP ONE shoe

1. The sole core is made of three different materials: Kevlar, unidirectional carbon fiber and micro fibers.  The fusion of these three materials is done in a very particular way that allows the sole to bend the same way of the foot giving the driver an improved stability and sensibility.

2. The leather used is camel.  This very expensive type of leather guarantees lightness and durability.  The camel leather, thanks to its high fiber compound, offers a much higher resistance to water.

Vintage shoe – Carrera

1. The leather used for the shoe is calfskin chosen for its softness and durability.

2. Leather tanning: Plant tanning.

3. Aging process: Hand brushed with a specially made tool.

Palm of ONE and HTG gloves

1. The Nomex palm has been treated with an ultra-thin rubbery mixture with a flame retardant treatment.

2. The maximum grip is obtainable after just few minutes of wearing thanks to the body heat.
