The Simpson Airspeed Racing Suit is a purpose-built, premium safety solution designed for drivers who demand maximum maneuverability without sacrificing protection. Engineered as a high-performance two-layer SFI-5 garment, the Airspeed excels across various racing disciplines by offering a lightweight, breathable feel that keeps the driver comfortable in high-heat cockpit environments.

Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the thermal protective properties and the professional satin finish of your Airspeed suit, it is highly recommended to have the garment professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with fire-retardant racing apparel. Strictly avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can permanently damage the Nomex® fibers and compromise the suit's safety rating. Always perform a thorough inspection of the stretch panels and seams for signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event to ensure your safety equipment is in peak condition.
