Care & Safety Maintenance
Due to the critical SFI 20 safety rating, this jacket requires specialized care to maintain its life-saving properties. It is highly recommended to have the garment professionally dry cleaned by a facility experienced in fire-retardant racing apparel. Strictly avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals will 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 fuel saturation or wear before every event.
