Important Safety Information
While Nomex materials are often referred to as "fireproof," all professional auto racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant." This RaceQuip suit is engineered to provide an essential 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 2XL fitment is critical for the multi-layer Nomex system to function effectively.
