Westyman Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Are Proban EN533 race suits OK for sprinting, or does it have to be Nomex ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I believe proban is still OK but I know i'd rather have a Nomex one to be fully protected in a fire. The question of putting a price on safety is a bit of a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. Windy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Spot on Windy. Westy if you are worried about cost try http://www.racecar.co.uk/partsboardmain.htm and put a post on for a secondhand suit wanted. Try and make sure it is the genuine thing, but loads cheaper.

Mark Stanton Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Could be the last year for use of Proban suits they aren't much good in event of fire, non of the scruters are toooo impressed with em but they do conform to minimum requirements Go Nomex 2 or 3 layer as soon as your budget allows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
