Whether it is a sportsman level circle track car, a bracket class drag racer, or a good old fashioned demo derby ride, no matter what you strap yourself into on a Saturday night, you should be thinking about your safety. Your number one fans (your family!) love to watch you race, but they also want to see you make it through your race weekend. We can’t always control what happens on the racing surface, so your best bet is to be properly protected for those instances where you’re simply “along for the ride” and need to keep yourself protected from instances of fire. A quality racing suit is just what you need, and our single layer FRC-based one-piece fire suit is the perfect answer for sportsman level racing classes that do not require Nomex-based protective gear.
This SFI-1 one-piece driving suit offers peace of mind and when it comes to fire protection. The single-layer, SFI 3.2A/1 fire suits have a TPP (Thermal Protection Performance) rating of 6, promising up to three seconds of protection from second degree burns. While three seconds doesn’t sound like much time, with practice you should easily be able to release your harness and exit your race car within a period that the TPP rating will be sufficient. Learn more about SFI and TPP Ratings by reading our tech article, The Toolbox: What are SFI and TPP Ratings?. You can also pair this suit with our Shop Fire Resistant Underwear and Shop Fire Resistant Socks to increase your fire protection TPP values.
The popular one-piece driving suit construction is preferred by many racers, as there is no opening for heat and flame to enter the suit like there is between separate fire suit jacket and pants setups. This one-piece suit design means that you are better protected with minimal points of entry for heat or flame to reach your body. The one-piece suit features dual reinforced shoulder epaulets that give safety crews a secure grab point in the event of extraction from the car, while the elastic wrist cuffs minimize heat and fire entry. The pant legs feature a boot cut with stirrups that provide more protection around the ankles while preventing the pant legs from riding up and exposing your skin.
Additional features of these Finish Line one-piece fire suits include 180-degree arm gussets for increased range of motion and driving comfort, with a knit-lined collar and lower back stretch panel along with a second stretch panel in the crotch area as well. Front pockets and a zippered closure with hook and loop flap round out the suit’s features. The racing suit is completely washable in standard home appliances using any one of our Shop Racing Suit Cleaners products. Though spot cleaning is often all your suit will need. Be sure to follow washing instructions carefully to prevent reduction in fire-retardant capabilities of the suit. Learn how to properly wash and care for your fire suit by reading our Racing Suit Cleaning and Care The Toolbox: Racing Suit Cleaning and Care Guide.
This single layer fire suit comes in black or gray with contrasting stitching and is available in seven sizes, ranging from Small to XXXX-Large (4X), which covers waist sizing from 32 to 46 inches and chest sizing from 38 to 50 inches. See our Standard Fire Suit Sizing Chart for complete sizing details and watch our The Toolbox: How To Measure For A Racing Suit video to ensure you accurately measure your body for your new one-piece racing suit. If you wish to order as separate jacket and pants in different sizes to fit your body type, Finish Line offers its single layer Shop Finish Line Single Layer Fire Suit Racing Jacket and Shop Finish Line Single Layer Fire Suit Racing Pants separately.
Summary: I listened to the size guide that Speedway provided and the suit fits great.
