Sparring gear is universal.
Sparring gear can be bought at most sporting goods retail stores. It can also be found at local specialty shops. Fencing studio's also tend to carry sparring gear and equipment for their patrons.
A sparring gear set includes headguard, punch gloves and kick boots. This protects the head, feet and hands. If special padding is needed for any specific part it can be bought, but it is not considered part of a typical sparring set.
Two online sites one can purchase karate sparring gear are "KarateDepot" and "MartialArtsMart". Both of these online sites have excellent equipment and prices.
