Description
The RaceQuip Youth Single-Layer SFI-1 Racing Jacket provides essential fire protection and a professional look for junior competitors. This Kids Large jacket is manufactured from premium Pyrovatex® FRC (Fire Retardant Cotton), offering an ideal balance of flame and heat protection, durability, and comfort. While often colloquially referred to as "fireproof," this jacket uses advanced fire-retardant technology to provide a critical safety barrier for young drivers on the track.
Pyrovatex® is a top choice for youth racing because it maintains the natural softness and breathability of cotton. This allows the material to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, ensuring the driver stays cool and focused during intense track sessions. The Pyrovatex® treatment creates a molecular bond with the raw cotton fibers, ensuring that the jacket retains its fire-retardant properties throughout its useful life when maintained with proper care.

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.
