Options - Instead Of Race Suits

[Adz2332]

Hey all,

What do you guys wear to motorsport events?

Im not after a full race suit but i need something non flamable, ie cotton long sleeve etc

Just wondering what everyone wears?

[sweefu]

I just wear jeans, normal shoes (vans) and a light long sleeve cotton jumper. And helmet/gloves.

I find I need to wear something that wraps around my neck properly or my harness can rub on my skin, by the end of the day it gets pretty sore.

I wear a race suit,,,but you could use a boilers suit or good quality pair of cotton overalls depending on what type of racing you are doing.

Cheers

Neil.

My cottons generally lower expectations as to my standard of driving

Cheers guys!

I think i will buy a race suit eventually but ive left it a bit late

[sweefu]

What sort of racing are you doing?

[Adz2332]

its nothing major, just drags and then things like mallanats here in Adelaide which is mixed events etc

[sweefu]

I don't think there's any real need to buy a suit for events like that, suits are pretty expensive. You'd be fine wearing jeans and a long cotton shirt or similar. Like I said before, something that covers your neck a bit is good, if you are using a harness it can rub and become sore.

Actually cheap suits can be bought, um, cheaply. Mostly from America.

How cheap are we talking and where? Just eBay?

[djr81]

Stupidly so. By way of an example.

Nice, thanks for the link.

How does that compare to Aus prices? I've never really investigated but if it's not too expensive to get some extra safety I'll have at it.
