Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the thermal integrity of the SFI 5 rating, it is recommended to dry clean your Nomex® jacket or wash it on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these can severely degrade the flame-retardant properties of the fibers. Always perform a thorough visual inspection for any fuel contamination, tears, or seam wear before every race event.
