Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the SFI 5 protective rating and the integrity of the Nomex® fibers, it is highly recommended to have this jacket professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with fire-retardant racing apparel. Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the jacket's thermal barrier. Before every event, perform a thorough inspection of the D-rings, zipper, and all seams for signs of wear or fuel saturation to ensure your safety equipment is in peak condition.
