Default Do nomex racing suits exist in youth sizes?

Just wondering if anyone's ever come across such a thing. My wife is like under 5' tall and needs a racing suit. I'd love to get her a nice Sparco suit, but I don't think they come that small.

p.s. i tried the google but couldn't find anything.

Yes, FBMW had them available for kids who tested for them....I never bothered to look who made them.
Let me ask some folks and try and find out.

I know Gforce and Simpson have youth suits. But they generally aren't the 'nice' suits. They are the entry level suits with heavier fabrics, etc.

At 5'4" my wife is even too small for many of the companies out there. For her karting suit it was no problem. She hasn't taken too much interest in the SRF yet so it hasn't been an issue. When it does start interesting her I'll probably just get a custom suit. For 999.00 I can get the TeamDI custom suit and if a good fitting suit will get her out there more it'll be more than worth it. If you cant' find anything off the shelf that you want give me a heads up and we can work something out for you.

Somehow this is going to devolve into a Danica thread.
