PXP FACTS
PXP uses the latest technology in fabrics to keep you safe and comfortable
- PXP is dramatically softer, safer and more comfortable!
- PXP Racewear is designed for safety, comfort and durability. Using the meta-aramid technology of Kermel FR™ fibers, PXP is inherently fire resistant (FR). By molecular design the fibers are permanently non-flammable. This means that the safety won’t wash out in the laundry and you will be protected for the life of the garment. The color of PXP will also last. Because it is solution dyed, the color is part of the base polymer of the fibers, which makes it fade resistant. What you will notice most about PXP is how comfortable it is to wear. The fibers round cross section makes it extremely soft to the touch. The fibers have good elasticity which keeps the garments shape and makes it long lasting.

Why Wear Fire Resistant Underwear?
We often get questions about the necessity of wearing fire resistant underwear under a race suit. The answer is wearing it buys the racer more time before getting second degree burn or worse.
The racers suit, initially protects the driver from flames but there is transfer of heat. Whatever is underneath will get hot. That heat will melt any polyester, spandex, and non-fire resistant fabrics right to their skin. Any snaps or clasps will also get hot.
Fire resistant underwear is an additional barrier between the suit and skin. If the driver does not want to wear fire resistant underwear, make sure they have a high quality suit and not wear anything underneath that will melt to their skin when it does get hot.
