Description
The RaceQuip Youth Single-Layer SFI-1 Racing Jacket provides essential fire protection for older youth racers who prefer the versatility of a separate jacket and pant combination. This Kids 2X-Large jacket is manufactured from premium Pyrovatex® FRC (Fire Retardant Cotton), offering a professional-grade balance of safety, durability, and comfort. While often referred to as "fireproof," this jacket utilizes advanced fire-retardant technology to provide a critical thermal barrier 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 allows the jacket to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the driver cool and focused during intense competition. The molecular bond created during the Pyrovatex® treatment process ensures that the jacket retains its flame-retardant properties throughout its useful life, provided it is cared for correctly.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The RaceQuip Youth SFI-1 jacket is a foundational component of a junior racer's safety kit. For maximum protection, this jacket must be worn in conjunction with SFI-rated racing pants, gloves, and a head sock to ensure no skin is exposed. To preserve the fire-retardant integrity of the Pyrovatex® fabric, avoid using bleach or harsh industrial detergents; a mild detergent and regular machine washing are recommended. Always inspect the jacket for signs of wear, tears, or fuel contamination before each race event. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the overlap is secured before entering the vehicle.
