Important Safety Information
While materials like Nomex are often colloquially called "fireproof," it is important to note that all auto racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant." This RaceQuip jacket is designed to provide vital seconds of thermal protection during a fire. Please refer to the official RaceQuip sizing chart to ensure the Medium fitment matches your measurements, as a proper fit is critical to the performance of the fire suit's protective layers.
