Bsimracing resident, AussieStig presents his review of the great looking sim racing apparel by the UK based IMB Racewear.
As the world of Sim Racing has become more popular, and more professional, more and more hardware brands hit the market with high-quality gear such as direct drive wheels and high-pressure pedal sets. Needless to say, bare hands and sock racing is not a real option for those with high torque, suede-wrapped steering wheels, and pro racing pedals that require some serious force.
While karting shoes and karting gloves will do the job just fine, a new market emerged for somewhat lighter and more suitable sim racing wear. Also, a lot of sim racers like to customize all things sim racing, including their shoes and gloves.
This is where British IMB Racewear comes in. They can provide a range of high quality racewear, made for maximum comfort. But there is more. IMB Racewear lets you create your own personal custom style, starting from either a pre-designed template or a blank canvas.
You can create your own design adding colours, text, logos, flags, racing number and more in any position or place.
All gloves and boots are created by one of the IMB Racewear designers who will use all the information you provided during the order process to create your perfect product. Once completed you will receive an email (using the email address you ordered with) with a mock-up ready for you to confirm. Once confirmed, your design will be submitted to the factory for creation.
For the shoes you can select from any colour of leather or from a collection of (Not printable) suede. Suede colours include: Red, Blue, Orange, Green (bright and dark) and Black.
