Description
The RaceQuip 9161 series Chevron-5 multi-layer SFI-5 racecar driver's fire suit jacket is engineered for professional-grade protection with a modern European aesthetic. Unlike standard FRC jackets, the Chevron-5 is constructed using a durable Nomex outer shell paired with a soft, lightweight Nomex inner liner. This multi-layer Nomex configuration provides superior thermal resistance and durability while maintaining a lightweight feel for the driver.
Designed with driver mobility in mind, the 9161 series features 180-degree floating arm gussets and integrated knit stretch panels on the side of the torso. These features ensure an unrestricted range of motion when reaching for steering wheels or shifters in tight cockpits. The jacket is finished with distinctive Chevron pattern box quilting and a high-quality, heavy-duty Nomex-backed two-way brass zipper with a double-overlap front opening for a secure, fire-retardant seal.

Important Safety Information
While Nomex is often referred to as "fireproof," all professional auto racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant." This RaceQuip jacket is engineered to provide a critical thermal barrier against severe heat and flames. To ensure the highest level of protection, please verify your measurements against the official RaceQuip size chart, as a proper Small fitment is essential for the multi-layer Nomex system to function effectively.
