Description
The Simpson Legend II Youth Driving Jacket brings professional-grade safety and iconic styling to the youngest competitors on the track. Tailored specifically for racers in the 7 to 8 year age range, this jacket is part of the Legend II 2-piece system. This modular design is ideal for growing athletes, providing the flexibility to update sizes independently as the driver matures without the cost of a full one-piece suit.
Constructed from Single-Layer Flame Retardant (FR) Cotton, the Legend II jacket is lightweight and breathable. This ensures that young drivers remain comfortable and focused, even during the heat of competition in quarter midgets, karts, or junior dragsters.

Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the life-saving flame-retardant properties of the cotton, proper laundering is vital. Use a mild detergent and strictly avoid chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can neutralize the fire-resistant treatment and damage the fibers. Wash in cool water and hang to dry out of direct sunlight to prevent premature fading. Regularly inspect the seams and the YKK zipper for any signs of wear or contamination to ensure your young driver is always protected behind the wheel.
