Essential Safety & Certification

SFI 3.2A/1 Rated: Fully certified to meet SFI foundational safety standards, providing critical fire protection for drag racing, circle track, and various amateur racing classes.

Fire-Retardant Cotton Fabric: The single-layer construction utilizes high-grade FR cotton that balances necessary safety with natural airflow and a soft, comfortable feel.

Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the fire-retardant properties of the cotton, it is critical to use a mild detergent and strictly avoid chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the protective treatment. Wash in cold water and hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading. Regularly inspect the 360-degree gussets and all seams for wear or fuel contamination to ensure your safety gear is always ready for the green flag.
