Important Safety Information
While materials like Nomex are often colloquially referred to as "fireproof," it is important to note that all professional auto racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant." This RaceQuip jacket is designed to provide vital seconds of thermal protection during a fire incident. To ensure maximum safety, please verify your measurements against the official RaceQuip sizing chart, as proper fitment for the 3XL dimensions is critical for the multi-layer system to perform effectively.
