Description
The RaceQuip Youth SFI 3.3 Fire Retardant Base Layer Shirt is a vital safety garment designed to provide junior racers with an extra layer of thermal protection. Sized in Youth Medium, this long-sleeve top is engineered to be worn directly against the skin beneath a racing suit. By utilizing a proprietary blend of aramid and Fire Retardant Cotton (FRC), this shirt offers the high-performance flame resistance of Nomex® while remaining a cost-effective choice for youth motorsports families.
This shirt is specifically designed to manage the physical demands of racing. The FRC component ensures the fabric remains soft, supple, and hypoallergenic, preventing the skin irritation that can occur with traditional fire-resistant materials. The advanced knit structure is highly effective at wicking moisture away from the skin and dries quickly, helping to regulate the driver's body temperature and prevent heat exhaustion during intense competition.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The RaceQuip Youth SFI 3.3 base layer shirt is most effective when worn as a complete system. Pairing this top with the matching base layer pants creates a continuous thermal barrier over the driver's body. To maintain the fire-retardant properties of the proprietary blend, avoid using bleach, starch, or fabric softeners. Machine wash with a mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always inspect the shirt for any signs of damage, such as holes or thinning fabric, to ensure the protective barrier is not compromised.
