About this material
This is the construction behind our 2-layer SFI 3.2A/5 auto racing suits. A 150 g/m² Nomex® outer shell and a 180 g/m² Nomex® inner layer give a total suit weight of 330 g/m² and a Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) rating of 21.6.
Nomex® is a meta-aramid fibre with inherent flame resistance, so the protection is part of the fibre itself rather than a treatment. Suits in this construction can be made in any colour from our Nomex colour chart, including fluorescent shades, with full embroidery for sponsors and team branding.
Choose this construction for higher-protection car racing classes. Always confirm the exact rating your series or sanctioning body requires before ordering.
Colours
25 shades on our Nomex colour chart, including fluorescent colours, each referenced to Pantone.
