Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the thermal integrity of the SFI 5 rating and the appearance of the satin finish, it is recommended to dry clean this jacket or wash it on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap. Strictly avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the flame-retardant properties of the fibers. Always perform a thorough visual inspection for fuel contamination, tears, or seam wear before every event to ensure maximum driver safety.
