Important Safety Information
In youth motorsports, hands are often the most exposed part of the body. The RaceQuip 355 Series SFI-5 gloves are designed to offer life-saving protection in the event of a cockpit fire. For full compliance and maximum safety, ensure the gauntlet of the glove is pulled over the cuff of the racing suit. These gloves should be inspected regularly for any signs of leather thinning or seam separation. Because these gloves contain leather reinforcements, they should be cleaned according to leather-care instructions to maintain the grip and supple feel of the suede.
