Why should you wear fire-resistant underwear while racing?

Fire-resistant underwear is an essential part of your personal safety on the race track. Although race overalls are flame-retardant on their own, they only provide optimal protection if you wear the right undergarments underneath.

Here are the main reasons:

1. Extra layer of protection
Your fire-resistant Nomex® underwear provides an extra barrier against heat and flames. In the event of a fire, it significantly slows heat transfer to your skin and can give you precious seconds to exit the car without serious burns.

2. FIA regulations
In most official competitions, wearing FIA 8856-2018 approved underwear is mandatory. Without this homologation, your outfit can be rejected at the technical inspection.

3. Safe breathable material
Ordinary cotton or synthetic undergarments quickly melt or catch fire at high temperatures. Nomex®, on the other hand, is intrinsically flame retardant and does not melt. At the same time, it is breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping you comfortable even during long stints.

4. Comfort & performance
Fire-resistant underwear is specially designed to fit snugly under coveralls without pressure points or chafing, and helps wick away sweat so you stay cool and focused.

In short, fire-resistant underwear is not a luxury, but a crucial part of your gear that will enhance your safety and performance. Invest in quality - for your own peace of mind and to comply with regulations.
