vs Simpson Racing

Looking at Simpson racing suits? See how HS Racegear matches the SFI safety standard at roughly one-quarter the price — modern custom SFI racewear vs legacy brand pricing. More flexibility, faster production, no sacrifice on protection.

Considering Simpson Racing Suits? Here's a Better-Value Custom Alternative

HS Racegear builds custom SFI-certified race suits to the same safety standard for roughly one-quarter the cost: SFI 3.2A/1 and 3.2A/5 certified, premium Nomex®, custom-measured to your body, full design control, starting at $289 vs $1,049+ for Simpson. Below is the head-to-head.
