efposs Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Sorry, a bit off topic, but I see this is a very active forum. I have reviewed the NASA CCRs, PT/TT/Enduro rules, race inspection check sheets and searched the NASA website, the NASA forum and google. I see the fire safety standard (SFI 3.2A/1 rating or higher (3.2A/5, 3.2A/10, 3.2A/15, or 3.2A/20) or FIA 8856-2000), BUT I do not see - - When does a race suit expire? K1 Racing has 25% off ending Monday thx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efposs Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I wanted to make sure b4 I bought. Im looking for best value below $8-900. K1 has one for $545 https://www.k1racegear.com/auto-racing/suits/k1-auto-racing-suit-gt-nomex-sfi-3-2a-5.html I'm thinking it's diminishing returns for the $!200 suit. . . thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmmotorsports Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Never heard of K1. Check out some Sparco and AlpineStars suits from online NASA supporters like Discovery Parts: https://www.discoveryparts.com/8-auto-racing-suits-sfi-and-fia-approved- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you spend the better the suit is by a large margin. If you're gonna wear it a lot spend all that you can. I spent $900 for my current suit and wish I'd stepped up to the $1500 price point.

brkntrxn Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A $2000 suit will not be four times safer than say a $500 suit, but it WILL be exponentially more comfortable. My Sparco Xlite/Evo/whatever was like $1500 several years ago. I'd rather wear it all weekend long than change out of it. It is that comfortable.
