Santee, Calif. (April 29, 2010) – On the heels of last week’s SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI) race suit decertification announcement, MasterCraft Safety is reaching out to The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and NASCAR with its SFI 3.2A/5 suit.
Safety is the primary goal of MasterCraft’s racing suits and this premise is widely known and accepted in the racing community. MasterCraft-sponsored drivers who already use the SFI-approved A/5 suit in off-roading include the likes of Rob MacCachren and Johnny Greaves and NASCAR driver Justin Lofton to name a few.
“Since 1970, MasterCraft Safety has been proudly manufacturing all of our safety suspension seating, restraints, window nets, and our exclusive line of SFI approved race suits and SFI crew fire safety apparel right here in Southern California,” says company CEO, Robbie Pierce. “We strongly believe in the safety of our products.”
Designed for durability and comfort, the one-piece, double-layer “Signature Series” race suit by MasterCraft Safety is SFI 3.2A/5 certified and is constructed from the highest quality materials available. The suit features Nomex® fire retardant material on the upper half and Nomex® IIIA material on the lower half of the race suit. Providing maximum breathability and moisture wicking, the material is durable and provides exceptional flame protection. The suit is SFI 3.2A/5 fire rated and exceeds all stated SFI specifications.
The unique 360 degree soft stretch knit Nomex® insert in the shoulders and stress areas offer added flexibility and range of movement. The integrated double-knit Nomex® wrist and boot cuffs also provide fit and comfort. The epaulettes are custom-designed with HANS® and similar style safety devices in mind, reducing overlap and bothersome pressure points on the shoulders. Featuring a heavy-duty zipper and a Velcro collar enclosure, the race suit is constructed with an exceptional level of unrivaled craftsmanship.
