Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the technical properties of the DuPont® Nomex® and maintain the SFI 5 safety rating, this suit should be professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with racing safety apparel. Never use chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the flame-retardant fibers and the elasticity of the stretch panels. Regularly inspect the 270-degree gussets and seams for wear to ensure your young driver has maximum protection every time they take the track.
