A Sparco suit bag in blue. Part number SLW016BLU07.
Most of the damage a race suit takes happens in storage rather than in the car. Folded in a holdall with boots on top of it, a suit picks up creases that never quite come out and holds whatever the rest of the bag smells of. Hung in a bag, it stays flat, stays clean and stays wearable for a lot longer.
Where it earns its keep
In the paddock it hangs on the back of an awning pole or a garage door, off the floor and out of the way, which matters when the floor is wet. At home it keeps the suit out of the airing cupboard and away from anything that might be damp. In the car it means the suit is not the thing you unpack last and iron first.
It takes overalls and mechanic’s suits as well as race suits.
While you are here
A flame retardant suit loses protection if it is washed or dried carelessly, so read the label rather than treating it as ordinary clothing, and hang it rather than folding it. Those two habits do more for the life of a suit than anything else.
We carry more than one suit bag. If you want a larger kit bag that takes helmet and boots as well, ask us what is in the range and we will match it to what you are carrying.
What fits in it?
It is shaped for a race or kart suit kept flat or folded once, which keeps the suit presentable and the fireproof layers uncreased between events. Most drivers keep underwear and gloves in with it too.
Is it worth a dedicated kit bag over a normal holdall?
The difference is compartments and padding in the right places: wet and dry separation, boot pockets that keep tarmac dust off your suit, and padded sections where they matter. A normal holdall works until the first time a buckle rubs a hole in fireproof fabric.
How do I look after it?
Brush it out and wipe it down rather than machine washing, and let it dry open after a wet weekend. Zips last longest if you close them before storage.
