Get a thong

Get a lighter suit that doesn't require underwear and a FAST cool shirt.

Underwear increases the time any suit gives you in a fire by almost double! Get the underwear and have better protection.

And get the cool shirt. You will need it all the way down to 40 degrees.

Carbon X is waaay more comfortable than Nomex but be sure to wash it a few times, inside out, before using it. It sheds black fiber like crazy.

Paseb

Thanks for all the replies, i will look into a cool shirt system.

Are the carbon x i posted any good? Or i should stick to omp, alpine star, etc....

Or they are all the same with a different label

Cheap nomex underwear is especially itchy. Won't make that mistake again.

Juan Lopez

They make the FAST shirts on Carbon X (or used to anyway). I have some. Those are the ones to get.

My wife bought me the Simpson stuff a few years back. Don't know where it is on the price scale but it is pretty comfortable.

I seem to remember that carbon-x is to be avoided, and to stick to Nomex. Maybe it was some other material?

winders

No, CarbonX is great stuff........better than Nomex.

Dang Mike. I respect your driving, your car(s), your attitude around here..and your electronics, but,

that avatar has GOT to go.

Don't know if it fits you but I have two new Sparco Carmyth long underwear pants still for sale. Carmyth is/was top of the line for several years, is soft and minty fresh (literally) all the time: https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...w-awesome.html

Shipping to Canada is no problem

Mmmmmm - Carmyth smells nice.

Even after you dump beer on it, somehow it remains minty fresh.
