Alpinestars ZX EVO V3 fire resistant top

The Alpinestars ZX EVO V3 fire-resistant top is designed for racing pilots looking for optimal protection and comfort. Certified to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 homologation standards, this top offers advanced flame-resistant technology, specially developed by Alpinestars. The use of Lenzing FR, an innovative and durable viscose fiber, provides exceptional flame resistance and heat transfer protection.

The top is very light, thin and elastic, resulting in an incredibly soft feel on the skin. This ensures maximum comfort when the top is worn under a racing suit. The updated jacquard mesh increases breathability and provides a better stretch-fit, allowing the top to fit the body perfectly without compromising the comfort of the pilot. In addition, the fabric's internal structure allows moisture to be wicked away from the skin, keeping the rider cool during intense rides.

The Alpinestars ZX EVO V3 fireproof top combines innovative technology, low weight, excellent performance and breathability, making it the ideal choice for racers who want to combine comfort and top performance.

Nomex clothing is always worn under the race overalls. The mandatory fireproof clothing package for motorsport and rally drivers consists of a top, pants, socks and balaclava.

The fire retardant shirt in motorsports offers numerous benefits that are crucial to the safety and comfort of the driver. Here are some additional benefits of wearing a fire retardant shirt while racing:

1. Maximum Protection from Flames and Heat: The main advantage of fire retardant shirts is the protection from fire and extreme heat. In case of an accident, it reduces the risk of burns, as the material slows down the flames and better protects the skin. This is essential in motorsports, where the risk of fire in the event of a crash is real.
2. Prevents Aggravation of Burns: In addition to slowing flame spread, the material of fire retardant shirts helps prevent burns from spreading rapidly. This provides valuable time for the pilot to extricate himself from the vehicle or wait for emergency services.
3. Improved Comfort and Breathability: Fire retardant jerseys are designed to be both protective and comfortable. Thanks to advanced fabrics that offer breathability, the shirt helps wick away perspiration, keeping the driver cool and dry during intense races. This prevents overheating and keeps the pilot focused and energized.
4. Optimal Freedom of Movement: Fire retardant shirts are often made of elastic materials that increase freedom of movement. This is critical for racing, where fast, precise movements are necessary. The shirts are designed not to restrict the driver's movements, allowing them to move freely without hindrance.
5. Hygienic and Long-Lasting Comfort: The fabrics used in fire retardant shirts are often anti-bacterial and help reduce odors. This makes the pilot feel more comfortable during long races and prevents the fabric from deteriorating faster due to sweat or other factors.
6. FIA and SFI Certification: Fire retardant shirts are certified to strict FIA and SFI standards. This certification ensures that the shirt meets the highest safety standards, which is essential for pilot protection. Wearing certified clothing is not only a requirement in motorsports, but also an important step in ensuring driver safety.
7. Longer Life of Other Protective Clothing: Because fire-retardant shirts help regulate body temperature and sweat, wearing a good shirt can extend the life of other protective clothing, such as your racing overalls. It reduces the wear of clothing due to the accumulation of sweat and dirt.

Wearing a fire-retardant shirt in motorsports is thus not only a regulatory issue, but also provides essential benefits for the driver's safety, comfort and overall performance. It is an indispensable part of the complete protective equipment needed to take to the track with confidence and peace of mind.
