Women’s Custom
Racing Fire Suits

Most manufacturers sell women a men’s suit in a smaller size. It technically fits, in the sense that you can zip it up. What it doesn’t do is sit correctly — because the proportions a men’s pattern assumes aren’t the ones you have.

The result is familiar to anyone who has raced in one:

• Excess fabric across the chest and shoulders that bunches under a harness every time you turn the wheel.
• A waist that sits too low and too wide, so the suit twists on its own axis rather than moving with you.
• Torso length cut for a longer back, which drags the crotch seam down and restricts pedal reach.
• Sleeves and legs shortened but not re-proportioned — narrower limbs in a suit still cut for wider ones.

None of that is cosmetic. A suit that bunches at the shoulder costs you movement, and a suit that shifts under load is a suit whose fire-resistant layer isn’t sitting where it was tested to sit.

Every HS Race Gear women’s suit starts from a female-specific base pattern and is then built to your own measurements — so you get both the right shape and the right size, rather than one or the other.

• Bust shaping built into the panel construction rather than added as an afterthought, so the chest has room without adding width at the shoulder.
• Waist-to-hip ratio drafted separately from the men’s pattern instead of graded down from it.
• Shorter back rise and torso length, adjustable to your measurement, so the seat seam sits where it should.
• Proportional sleeve and leg taper — narrowed along the whole limb, not just cut shorter.
• Harness-aware shoulder construction so belt routing sits flat over the collarbone.

The safety specification is identical to our men’s suits — same genuine Nomex® meta-aramid, same SFI certification, same construction standards. The pattern is what changes, not the protection.

Women’s suits are available across the same range as the rest of our line. Which one you need depends on your class, not your size:

• SFI 3.2A/1 — single layer. Roughly 3 seconds of thermal protection. Accepted in karting, sportsman drag and many grassroots classes.
• SFI 3.2A/5 — double layer. Roughly 7–10 seconds. Required by USAC, World of Outlaws, ASCS and most sprint car and dirt late model series.
• Higher tiers on request for drag classes that specify them.
• One-piece or two-piece construction, whichever your series allows.

Not sure which rating applies to you? See the full SFI ratings guide or the rating-by-class breakdown.

The measurement process is the same 15 points as any custom suit, with a few worth taking extra care over:

• Chest — measure at the fullest point, wearing the base layer you actually race in. Fire-resistant underwear changes this measurement.
• Waist — at your natural waist, which is usually higher than where a men’s pattern places it.
• Torso length — the measurement most often taken wrong, and the one that determines whether the suit pulls at the shoulders.

Full instructions with diagrams are on the how to measure page — measure twice, and send the numbers through the form there.

Colour choice isn’t a women’s range with three options. It’s the same unlimited customisation as every suit we build:

• Any colour combination, any panel layout, fully sublimated
• Sponsor logos, team branding, driver name and country flag included
• Digital mockup before anything is cut, with unlimited revisions
• Matching gloves and shoes available
