Manufacturer of balaclavas gloves
We know what you need - because we used to look for it ourselves
It all started with a problem of supplying balaclavas for the company's own karting track. Today Humboo is a brand with a presence in 29 countries - with offerings designed for karting, motorsport and winter sports. We manufacture locally, deliver quickly and speak the language of your industry.
From a single track, to an european leader
We started with a simple problem that you also know from your own experience - the lack of available, reliable products on time. Today, we supply balaclavas, gloves and accessories to hundreds of companies across Europe. Our growth is no accident - it's the result of listening to the industry and acting quickly.
2014
Birth out of necessity
It all started with a simple problem - Rafal, the owner of a karting track, could not find sturdy balaclavas with fast delivery. Instead of waiting, he set up a small company and started producing them himself - for himself and other tracks.
2015-2017
First markets, first development
The Balaclava4u brand is being established. We start in Poland, and soon after that we also supply the Czechia, Slovakia and Lithuania. Production grows, the offer expands, and the quality of the products gains recognition among track owners.
2018
New brand, new direction
HUMBOO is born - from a passion for prints, colors and good quality. We begin selling balaclavas and multifunctional scarves to winter and outdoor markets. Our products appear on ski slopes and in sports stores.
2019-2021
Expansion and automation
We are increasing the scale of operations. We are investing in print quality, alternative packaging and automating the ordering process. We are gaining the trust of tracks in Western Europe, and developing the team and technical facilities.
2022
Consolidation under one brand
All products - karting and winter - come under the common banner of HUMBOO. We are building a team of 50 specialists, developing a warehouse, printing house and our own office. The brand is growing in strength.
2023
New bestseller
We are expanding our offer with lightweight karting gloves.
They provide freedom of movement and a firm grip, and their quality has already been appreciated by hundreds of drivers. Another item that strengthens our brand on the tracks.
2025
The new era of Humboo
We are launching a new website and B2B shop, making it easier to place orders. We expand our offerings to include event accessories - cups, medals, stickers. Humboo becomes a one-stop supplier of not only apparel, but also branding and event solutions.
Not just products. Specific direction.
We didn't start with a marketing strategy - just a specific need. And this approach has stayed with us to this day. At Humboo, we believe that a solid partnership starts with understanding the customer's realities. Below you'll find what guides us every day - in products, service and development.

How do we operate? Direct answers to the most common questions
We have collected the most common questions that arise before the first cooperation. We want to make everything clear even before you write to us.
I am an individual customer. Can I buy without registering my company?
No. Our B2B Humboo store is only available to registered and approved business users.
How do I create an account on Humboo's B2B store?
Fill out the registration form available here (ADD HIPER CALL to the word "here"). Registration is for companies only. After submitting the form, we will verify your application and approve your account.
Can I order products with my own print?
Yes, this is our specialty. You can add a graphic file on the product card or in the shopping cart. We will prepare a free visualization and send it to you for approval.
Will the colors of the print on the visualization be identical to the real thing?
We try to reproduce them as closely as possible, but please note that colors may vary depending on your monitor settings. For more certainty, you can order a sample print.
What file formats are preferred for printing?
Ideally, you should send graphics in vector format (AI, PDF, CDR, EPS). We can also work on PNG or JPG files - provided the quality is sufficient. If proofreading is needed - we'll let you know!
Do you sew in labels with the customer's logo? Can I order a different color of fabric than the standard?
In principle, no. On a case-by-case basis, for large orders, we arrange individual solutions. Ask us for details.
Do you offer deferred payment?
No - we require prepayment as standard. Deferred payments are possible only for regular customers, after prior arrangement of individual business terms.
Is the cost of delivery fixed?
No. The cost depends on the weight, volume and number of products ordered. You will see it when placing your order.
Do you offer next-day or Saturday express delivery?
Yes, for shipping within Poland. Please contact us before paying for your order to make arrangements.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes - we make deliveries worldwide. In some cases, an individual quote for shipping costs is required.
Do you offer support in case of a problem?
Always! Write to us at info@humboo.com - we will suggest the best solution.
Can I have dropshipping or shipping directly to my customer?
Yes - we carry out such orders. Contact us to arrange the details.
Request a sample, a quote or just write - we will reply within 24 hours
Whether you already know what you need or are just looking around - get back to us. We'll prepare a visualization, advise on the model, choose the best price option and... get it done quickly. With us, decisions take minutes, not weeks.
