Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the SFI 5 thermal protective rating, it is highly recommended to have this jacket professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with fire-retardant racing apparel. Strictly avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the Nomex® fibers and compromise your safety. Always perform a thorough inspection of the zipper, seams, and stripes for any signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event to ensure your equipment is track-ready.
