Description
The RaceQuip Youth Single-Layer SFI-1 Racing Suit is a professional-grade safety garment tailored specifically for the next generation of racers. This Kids Small suit is constructed from high-quality Pyrovatex® FRC (Fire Retardant Cotton), offering an ideal balance of flame protection, durability, and comfort for young drivers. While often colloquially called "fireproof," this suit is engineered with advanced fire-retardant technology to provide critical protection in the event of an emergency.
Pyrovatex® is the material of choice for youth racing because it retains the natural softness and breathability of cotton. This ensures that the suit wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping young drivers cool and comfortable during long days at the track. The molecular bond of the Pyrovatex® treatment ensures that, with proper care, the flame-retardant properties will last for the entire lifespan of the garment.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The RaceQuip Youth SFI-1 suit is designed to be the primary layer of defense for junior racers. For maximum safety, it is highly recommended to pair this suit with SFI-rated base layers and gloves. To maintain the fire-retardant integrity of the Pyrovatex® fabric, avoid using bleach or industrial detergents. Regular machine washing with a mild detergent is sufficient to keep the suit clean and race-ready. Always inspect the suit for tears or heavy oil saturation before every event.
