Description
The RaceQuip Youth Single-Layer SFI-1 Racing Jacket delivers professional-grade fire protection tailored for junior competitors. This Kids Medium jacket is manufactured from premium Pyrovatex® FRC (Fire Retardant Cotton), providing a high-performance balance of flame resistance, durability, and comfort. While often colloquially called "fireproof," this jacket utilizes advanced fire-retardant technology to create a critical thermal barrier for young drivers.
Pyrovatex® is an ideal choice for youth racing because it maintains the natural softness and breathability of cotton. This allows the jacket to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, ensuring the driver stays cool and focused during intense competition. The molecular bond created during the Pyrovatex® treatment process ensures that the jacket retains its protective 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 the driver enters the vehicle.
