Description
The Simpson Drag 5G Racing Jacket is engineered for the elite driver who requires high-level fire protection without the restrictive weight of traditional multi-layer safety gear.

Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the SFI 15 protective integrity, 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 chemicals can permanently damage the Nomex® fibers and compromise the thermal barrier. Always perform a thorough inspection of the arm restraint tethers, the heavy-duty zipper, and all seams for signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event.
