Description
The RaceQuip SFI 3.3 Fire Retardant Long Sleeve Shirt is a foundational safety garment designed for professional and amateur racers alike. This Large-sized base layer provides a vital thermal barrier underneath your racing suit. Constructed from a proprietary knit blend of Aramid and Fire Retardant Cotton (FRC), this shirt offers the protective capabilities of Nomex® while maintaining a more accessible price point.
Engineered for the physical demands of high-performance driving, the FRC component gives the fabric a soft, supple feel that remains comfortable even during long endurance stints. The fabric is hypoallergenic, ensuring that it won't irritate the skin during periods of heavy perspiration. This shirt is also a leader in moisture management, aggressively wicking sweat away from the torso and drying rapidly to help regulate body temperature in a hot cockpit.

Important Safety Information
In motorsports, safety is about 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.
