    Cheapest place to get a good fire suit?

    Just wondering who knows where I can buy fire suits for the least ammount of money?

    I have $300 to spend on my suit and gloves....I'm thinking of this one


    It's SFI 3.2A/3 if I could find a better rated suit for the same price or close to the same I'd be much happier as 7 seconds in a fire before 2nd degree burns isn't exactly a long time.

    Auto racing and karting suits, shoes, gloves, underwear, helmets, seats, harnesses, accessories; OMP, Bell, Alpinestars, Sparco, Stilo, Arai, G-Force, and more.




    don't think you'll get a much higher rating without shelling out some more cash.

    i've currently got a G-Force 2 piece that seems to be pretty good quality.
    86 notch: 393W/c4 combo.......best of 10.63 @ 124.98 so far.

    89 notch: the new project

    99 contour: puddle jumper

      That first one looks pretty good.

      I dont know why, but that 2nd one just looks so cheap....the fire rating is good but I dunno.

      I'll probably buy the first one....Wish they had blue but the fire rating and price are right.

        Good Sparco suits start at about $299 and go up to $1500+



        Good luck, also Alpinstars start at about $700

                      DAMN, I thought this was some awesome thread to cause heated debate and angry mobs to come from the woodwork, something to give days of fun.

                      GRRRR. SHEEEESHHH.

                        Because we all have $3,000 to spend on a top rated one.

                          I don't know if you are interested in a two piece suit, but I have a like new two piece G-Force suit. It is blue with white stripes. SFI rating 3.2A/5. I used it for about 8 1/4 mile passes before I sold the car.

                          The jacket is XL the pants are L.

                          If you are interested I will make sell them at a great price.
