Description
The RaceQuip SFI 3.3 Fire Retardant Long Sleeve Shirt is a foundational safety garment designed to provide a vital thermal barrier for drivers. This 3X-Large sized base layer ensures that drivers requiring a larger fit have access to professional-grade protection without compromising on comfort. Constructed from a proprietary knit blend of Aramid and Fire Retardant Cotton (FRC), this shirt delivers the flame-resistant performance of Nomex® while maintaining a soft feel and a cost-effective price point.
Engineered for the grueling environment of a race car cockpit, the FRC component keeps the fabric soft and supple against the skin. The material is hypoallergenic, which is essential for preventing skin irritation during high-heat operation. This proprietary blend also leads the industry in moisture management, aggressively wicking sweat away from the body and drying quickly to help regulate the driver's temperature during long stints.

Important Safety Information
Safety in motorsports is achieved through a system of overlapping layers. The RaceQuip SFI 3.3 base layer shirt is designed to work in conjunction with your racing suit to increase your Total Heat Protection (THP). While the materials are highly fire-retardant, they are not "fireproof." This garment provides the driver with precious additional seconds to safely exit a vehicle in the event of a fire. Always ensure your sleeves are tucked into your gloves and your collar is properly positioned for full coverage.
