Description
The RaceQuip 130 series Chevron-1 single-layer SFI-1 racecar driver's fire suit combines a high-end European aesthetic with essential track safety. This suit is manufactured from Pyrovatex FRC, a specialized fire-retardant cotton-based material that provides the perfect blend of flame protection and driver comfort. By bonding a chemical agent to raw cotton fibers at the molecular level, RaceQuip ensures the fabric remains soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking while maintaining its protective integrity for the life of the garment.
To ensure long-term durability under racing conditions, the Chevron-1 is assembled using heavy-duty, multi-needle, over-lock safety stitch machines for superior seam strength. The suit features unique Chevron pattern box quilting and a high-quality, heavy-duty Nomex-backed brass zipper with a double-overlap closure for maximum front-entry security.

Important Safety Information
While materials like Pyrovatex are often described as "fireproof," all professional auto racing safety gear is technically "fire retardant." This RaceQuip suit is designed to provide vital protection against flame and heat transfer. This Medium Tall model is specifically designed for drivers who require extra length in the limbs and torso without the added width of a standard Large. Always verify your measurements against the RaceQuip sizing chart to ensure a proper fit, as fitment is critical to the performance of the thermal barrier.
