Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the SFI 5 thermal protective rating and the professional satin finish of your jacket, 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 degrade the Nomex® fibers and compromise the jacket's safety rating. Always perform a thorough inspection of the zipper, seams, and stripes for any signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event to ensure you are track-ready.
