Best place to buy reasonably price safety gear?

Also most single layer is not a fire suit it's washed in fire retardant chemical. That means you clean it with out washing in the stuff it's just like wearing a regular jacket and pants. Spend the money and at least get a double layer. Most people I race with think I am stupid cause I have a 10lb fire system and wear double layer jacket, pants, gloves and shoes. But then again I have seen some one burn in a car and come out with 3rd degree burns on there legs. Not a fun thing. Just spend the extra money on a suit and don't look back. You can't put a dollar value on your life!!

I think it's funny when a person spends $450 dollar on a helmet but only $100 on jacket and pants.

Same here. I have a full suit, gloves, shoes, helmet etc. I even looked at a Hans device, but not sure on that one yet. Fire system is in as well.

I am going to get a double layer. I don't have a fire system yet, but I do keep a fire extinguisher in the car with me at all times (I know, I'm a cheap ass, that is retarded, don't skimp, etc., it's what I've got now). I think I am going to order the Summit jacket/pants, it is Multi-Layer Pyrovatex.

Can you get out of your mangled car that's on fire while upside down in under 10 seconds?

if i cant get out in 10 seconds i'll probably need something that is good for 2 minutes then since it probably means i am going to have to wait it out for the rescue crew.

The Jegs suit actually has a TPP rating of 26

That gives you 13 seconds

Is your pricing on that about the same as the Summit sale price?

[econodrag]

Yes just a couple of bucks higher.

Have you looked into the Necksgen?

Ive been eyefucking them for a while, Ill get one before the end of the year. From what I can read up on this compaired to the other 3-4 offerings, the Necksgen offers side impact protection. The HANS was designed for use with a full containment seat, so that isnt a feature on it. Especially with a drag car, the impact force wouldnt be straight forward very often, and if the car was to roll, most likely to be sideways and not end-over.

Plus the full range of motion would be nice as well.

EDIT* the lemons store offers free shipping on them, http://store.24hoursoflemons.com/Nec...ice?tag=safety

I have seen those (at the track), and didn't know what it was called. That's a nice piece - I'll check into that when I buy one. Thanks for the link.

they are a redesign of the defender(sp?) model, you may have seen those as well. Apparently HANS has a crack legal team that keeps anything with similarity to their product on the market long.
