Jacket and pants recommendations
 
Oh! oh! I tried on my jacket and pants that have hung in the closet far too long and either they shrunk or I expanded. Currently RCI single layer XL. Going by that likely 2XL in same brand and again single layer should be fine. My questions are what brand do you find coolest, softest most comfortable? And size and fit compared to the RCI stuff if that is the brand you changed from? I never did find the current RCI stuff to be the softest or most comfortable, kinda like putting on cardboard pants and jacket. Also differences in coolness, fit and weight compared to double layer? My stocker will never require double layer but a bracket car I may drive in the future could be close to double layer requirements. Thoughts suggestions and experiences welcomed.

Must have been caused by Covid! :D
Like 57 Vette suggested; Biondo.

Before you buy, at least look at Pro 1 Safety. Jeff and Charlotte are great folks to deal with they have a great selection of jackets, pants, gloves, seat belts, both are racers and their customer service is Second to None. Did I mention they pay Contingency. No Brainer ???

I just checked them out and they won’t ship to Canada.

Are the pro 1's as lite as the Sparco's?

Just used my Pro1 seat belts last weekend and was so happy with them I came home and purchased the jacket and pants. They pay contingency and for me that pushed them over the top among others, plus the price point and quality are second to none. Racers supporting racers is a WIN WIN.

So which one would be lighter? The Pro 1's or the Sparco's? Thanks
