THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

For too long, women racers had three choices: make men's gear work, spend a fortune on a custom suit, or stop racing

None of those are acceptable. Proper-fitting safety gear isn't a luxury. Gear that doesn't fit compromises your safety, your movement, and your confidence at exactly the moment you need all three.

WHY RACECHICK EXISTS

Built by racers. For racers.

Founder Carrie Willhoff had been racing for years and tried every workaround for safety gear that fit. Nothing worked — until she combined 10+ years in the fashion industry (Calvin Klein, Fendi, Christian Dior) with her firsthand track experience.

In 2016, she founded Racechick in Northern California with one goal: design racing safety gear that actually starts with the female body. Not adapted. Not approximate. Built from scratch, for women.

Carrie and her team test every product at real races before it ships. If it doesn't perform on track, it doesn't make the cut.

"I was tired of compromising my safety and comfort. Every woman who races deserves gear that fits her body and keeps her safe. That's what we do."

— Carrie Willhoff, Founder & CEO

WHAT RACERS ARE SAYING

"I've been racing 5 years and always struggled with men's suits. Racechick's custom suit fits perfectly and I feel so much more comfortable on track."

WHAT RACERS ARE SAYING

"My daughter tried on her Racechick suit and her whole face lit up. For the first time she had gear that actually felt like hers — and she hasn't stopped talking about her next race since."
