Question about 3.2A/1 pants

Ross Family Racing · 12-30-2008, 03:51 PM

Since we now are required to wear the safety pants I have a dumb question. Are they designed to be worn over your jeans or cutoffs or not? I know the jackets are but don't know about the pants.

Wear them over anything you want....but nothing nylon.

the RJS pants have an elastic wasteband, zipper and velcro in the front. No provision for a leather belt, however.

Jeff,
I just purchased the RJS pants @ JEG'S in a "large" for Brian... they fit him fine over bermudas, and they have a "strechey" waist band w/ the velcro flap in front.

Make sure you get a bigger than normal size if you wish to wear shorts or pants under them. I believe I've seen some with zipper on the leg bottoms which would help when wearing jeans I've personally only wore shorts with mine but I can see how your pant legs could bunch up when putting on your race pants.

Yeah, I'd wear fairly snug bermuda shorts too. The RJS (and probably other brands) have elastic cuffs that would make it hard to deal with full length pants inside them.

Thanks guys for all the info. I recieved a pair from Santa that were ordered Extra large and were way too long for me (Simpson). Will send back and try again.

I think the rule book says no shorts under the fire pants.

I really doubt you can`t were shorts under them. If that`s the case,why allow underwear? Make all the racers go comando under their fire pants. And while you`re at it,shaving would be mandated as well,hair is flamable too! I always wore shorts under mine when I ran S/C.

Get your razor ready......Check the 2009 rulebook under STOCK and SUPER STOCK protective clothing. Full length pants...no shorts. Also synthetic clothing not recommended.....you can wear synthetic clothing if you would like it melted to your freshly shaved legs in the event you catch on fire.
