Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the integrity of the SFI 5 thermal protection, it is recommended to dry clean your Nomex® jacket or wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, non-detergent soap. Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the flame-retardant properties of the fibers. Always inspect the jacket for signs of wear, fraying, or fuel contamination before every event.
