fire suit ?

[vhr104]

what type of fire suit do you guys use one piece or two piece and what SFI rating are they

[Erin C]

The fire suit depends on what track you will be running.

For instance:

At Wall, NJ state law requires a minimum single layer fire suit (it can be either 1 or 2 piece for Enduros) and you are also required to wear Nomex underwear.

At Grandview we require a fire suit but there are no specs...it cannot be a fire retardant jacket and jeans that is for sure but some kind of a fire suit is required.

I am sure others will post what they have but I wanted to give you the minimum requirements for both tracks first....

Take care!

I'v always used a one piece two layer suit. A step safer than required and you can't argue with that. It's still only worth a couple more seconds protection, but that could be all I need to keep my skin.

It all comes down to preference. Larry bought his 2 piece during his Demo Derby days and I bought my single layer one piece right after my first ladies race in '07 when I said to Larry "that was fun!"... and the rest is history! The nomex is coming soon so I don't have to borrow anymore... Checking around for the best prices- not too much cheaper getting wholesale either.

With a 1 piece, you can't lose the other half... AND you won't have THIS problem....
