Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the SFI 5 thermal protective rating and the satin finish of your suit, it is highly recommended to have the garment professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with fire-retardant racing apparel. Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can permanently damage the Nomex® fibers and significantly reduce the suit's protective capabilities. Always perform a thorough inspection of the zipper, seams, and stripes for any signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event to ensure your safety equipment is in peak condition.
