Safety equipment question

nhramnl · 07-19-2013, 08:26 AM

I called G-Force (the brand of jacket and pants I'm using) and they were very helpful. The guy I spoke with said they're often asked by larger (and smaller) racers to make custom-sized stuff and they're happy to oblige. They've sent me an email with some kind of sizing chart, which requires me to take a number of measurements. When I provide the completed chart, they will make a set of pants to those dimensions. The pleasant surprise was the price... $230. The unpleasant surprise was the timing... 8-10 weeks, but if I end up with pants that are actually comfortable to wear, I'll be a happy man. thanks to everybody for the advice.

I use Ultrashield. They are 2x. (they go to 3x) They fit fine I'm 6' 4" and close to 300 pounds. I use suspenders to keep them from going into plumbers butt mode.
