Nomex® racing suits
Racing suits in Nomex® meta-aramid, a fibre whose flame resistance is part of the fibre itself and does not wash out.
The material
Nomex® is a meta-aramid fibre with inherent flame resistance. Our suit system uses a 150 g/m² outer and a 180 g/m² inner layer, 330 g/m² in total, recorded at TPP 21.6.
Suits can be made in any colour from our Nomex colour chart, including fluorescent shades.
Nomex® and certification
Using Nomex® does not by itself make a suit SFI compliant. The finished suit, including thread, zipper, cuffs and any stretch panels, has to meet the specification and be certified by a licensed manufacturer.
