Sparco Extrema S Driver Race Suit
Save $800 off the suggested retail price!
The Sparco Extrema S racing suit takes the same patented Hocotex® material used in Sparco's successful Eagle line and incorporates it into a classically-styled fire suit. Three times as breathable as a traditional multi-layered racing suit, 360º fully-floating arm gussets on the Sparco Extrema S are combined with a stretchable mesh back panel for maximum flexibility and comfort. Extra-flat seams provide additional comfort, while traditional design touches such as classic Sparco epaulettes and seamless ankle/wrist cuffs make this suit a perfect platform for sponsor logos!
How Does Sparco Hocotex Work?
Racing suits are traditionally constructed using multiple layers of fabric sewn together with an embroidered quilted pattern. This quilting creates air pockets between the layers which expand when exposed to extreme heat and flames, creating a thermal protection barrier for the driver. Sparco Hocotex® uses a honeycomb structure with over 60,000 internal air cells, compared to 300 quilted chambers in a traditional suit. The result is a 10% to 12% increase in protection from heat versus the traditional quilting method.
