Why fireproof race underwear matters
Quality fire retardant underwear is designed to work with your race suit to delay heat transfer, giving you extra seconds in a fire situation. Compared with standard thermals or sportswear, specialist flame retardant underwear uses fire resistant fibres such as Nomex to help reduce the risk of burns and melting fabrics in an incident.
- Improved protection under your race suit
- Flat seams and soft materials for comfort over long stints
- Moisture-wicking fabrics to help manage heat and sweat
Choosing the right race underwear
When you are comparing fire resistant underwear, consider:
- Homologation: FIA or SFI approval required by your category or event.
- Fit & comfort: Base layers should fit close to the skin without restricting movement.
- Layering: Many drivers prefer a full Nomex underwear set – top, pants and balaclava – for consistent protection.
- Budget vs. lifespan: Quality Nomex fireproof underwear can last for many seasons when cared for correctly.
