HS Racegear
vs Simpson Racing

Simpson racing suits are an institution — half a century of legacy in drag, sprint, and circle track. They're also priced like an institution. 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.
