The?RaceQuip?121 series multi-layer SFI-5 racecar driver's fire suit jacket is made up of an outer layer of durable Pyrovatex? FRC, backed by a layer of Nomex?, then lined by another layer of Pyrovatex?. Note that sometimes these materials are referred to as "fireproof", but actually all auto racing safety gear is "fire retardant". Pyrovatex? offers the maximum combination of overall flame and heat protection, durability and comfort for the price. This fire retardant cotton based (FRC) material is used for the inner and outer layers because it retains the softness and breathability of cotton and will wick away moisture from the skin. Pyrovatex? fabric is gentle and non-irritating to even the most sensitive skin. The treatment process leaves the exterior surface shiny and supple. Since the Pyrovatex? process combines a chemical agent with the raw cotton fibers to create a bond at the molecular level, with proper care; the jacket will retain its flame retardant properties beyond the useful life of the garment. The middle layer consists of Nomex(R) batting which is an inherently fire retardant aramid fabric. All racing jackets are assembled with heavy-duty, multi-needle, over-lock safety stitch machines to provide exceptional seam strength. All RaceQuip jackets feature a high quality, heavy duty Nomex? backed brass zipper on FR tape installed with a double overlap for a more secure front opening. Stylish white armband stripes contrast with the full-length black leg stripes found on RaceQuip pants. The black accents: high-back collar, arm cuffs, and epaulets give RaceQuip driving jackets a unique look and style. Add to this the pleated back panel for freedom of movement and you have a multi-layer racing jacket that provides an outstanding value. Exceeds SFI 3.2A/5 specs with a TPP rating of 25. Available in Black with White stripes and also in Red or Blue with Black stripes. Manufactured in sizes Small - 5X-Large (refer to sizing chart).
