Sparco RW-4 Nomex Socks

The Sparco RW-4 Nomex Socks deliver mid-calf fire protection for drivers in 4 cycle racing who need reliable underlayer coverage without added bulk. The Sparco RW-4 line of undergarments is designed to provide both comfort and protection through its signature soft-touch interlock fabric. These mid-calf socks bring that same fabric to the feet, resulting in lightweight breathable coverage that stays comfortable during long sessions on track.

Fit and use

These socks sit comfortably under racing boots and maintain their shape through repeated wear and washing. The interlock knit reduces pressure points while the Nomex layer meets required safety standards for kart use. Because the fabric is both soft and breathable, the socks help manage moisture and temperature inside the boot without adding bulk or stiffness.

European sizing runs true to chart; select your normal European shoe size for the best regular fit. No special break-in is needed. The regular fit allows the socks to slide on easily yet stay in place once the boots are secured, supporting consistent contact with the pedals throughout a session.

The manufacturer part number 001516BI identifies this exact model within the RW-4 range. The combination of fire-retardant Nomex and anti-static properties gives the socks their core protective function while the soft interlock texture keeps them pleasant against the skin for extended periods.
