OMP HTE Evo Bucket Seat New For GSM Performance

Bucket seat news, May 2024

The OMP HTE Evo is one of the latest additions to our range, and it is now on our website. It is a head supported bucket seat with a gel coated fibreglass shell, built for off road use.

What makes it an off road seat is the trim. The pads are neoprene, and they come out to be washed, so mud and water are not the problem they would be for a velour seat.

  • The OMP HTE Evo is new to our range for 2024
  • Gel coated fibreglass shell with head support built in
  • Removable, washable neoprene pads
  • Fixed back, side mount, 4 and 6 point harness compatible
  • Rated for road and track, not FIA homologated
  • OMP part number HA0-0830-A01

What the HTE Evo is

The HTE Evo has deep side bolsters and head support wings that come round past your ears. On rough ground your head moves about far more than it does on a circuit, and a shell that supports it takes a lot of work off your neck over a long day.

The neoprene pad set is comfortable and does not hold water or mud the way a woven trim does. The pads are removable and washable, which keeps the seat usable in a vehicle that lives outside and gets driven through the wet.

It is a fixed back, side mount seat with slots for a 4 or 6 point harness, and OMP list it for all heights across a 32 to 36 inch waist. It is rated for road and track, not FIA homologated, so if your class asks for an approved seat, tell us and we will point you to one. The full details are on the HTE Evo listing.

Fitting the HTE Evo

The seat comes on its own, so it needs side mounts and either a subframe made for the vehicle or a fabricated mounting. Off road vehicles vary a great deal underneath, so Garreth’s advice is to tell us the vehicle before you order and we will check what it takes. Our guide to bare shell fibreglass and carbon seats covers other light shells that suit dirty conditions.

Other OMP seats and harnesses

OMP make seats for every kind of motorsport, from the World Rally Championship to GT racing and the Dakar. For events that need an FIA approved seat, the OMP HTE-R and WRC-R are both FIA approved fibreglass seats, and the WRC-R is also offered as a bundle with a harness.

OMP harnesses come in 4 and 6 point versions with black, blue or red webbing and the OMP logo on the shoulder straps, so the seat and belts can match.
