Custom Fire Suits: Fire-Retardant Racing Suits with Team Branding

Built in layers, branded in stitches. Custom fire suits from Run Moto Apparel are built in a multi-layer aramid construction, with the team livery carried in colored panels, embroidery and stitched logos rather than anything that melts. Made to measure for a driver or graded in sized runs for a program.

Who orders these suits

Custom fire suits for car teams, kart programs and brands, and two orders we send elsewhere

Three buyers of custom fire suits, one construction; the paperwork they need is where they differ.

Decide before the layout

Four decisions that shape custom racing fire suits before the layout

Measure or size, branding method, cuff and collar, colorway; the artwork on custom fire suits comes after these

Driver measured seated for a made-to-measure fire suit

Made to measure or sized run

MeasureSize run

Made to measure takes a driver's seated measurements and cuts for that body. A sized run uses our block in XS–4XL for a program.

Wrong choice A sized suit on a tall driver rides up at the wrist in the car.
Embroidered sponsor mark next to a stitched aramid panel on a fire suit

Branding: embroidery or stitched panels

EmbroideryStitched panels

Sponsor marks are embroidered or cut as stitched fabric panels in the same aramid family as the shell. Nothing is heat-applied to a fire suit.

Wrong choice Asking for a printed transfer because the artwork is fine-lined; we redraw it for embroidery instead.
Knit cuff of a fire suit under a racing glove, collar under the helmet

Cuffs and collar

Knit cuffsLow collar

Knit cuffs at wrist and ankle keep the sleeve under the glove and the leg over the boot; the collar is cut to sit under a helmet and a head-and-neck restraint.

Wrong choice An open cuff that rides up under the glove.
Colored aramid panels laid out to build a team livery

Colorway: panels, not print

Colored panelsStitched marks

A fire suit is colored panel by panel in aramid fabric; the livery is built from those panels and the stitched marks.

Wrong choice A gradient or a photographic print, which this construction does not carry.

Multi-layer aramid

Multi-layer aramid: what the layers do

On custom fire suits the construction is the product; the outer layer carries the livery, the layers under it carry the insulation

The shell is built from layers of aramid fabric, the fibre family that does not melt and chars rather than burns. The outer layer carries the color and the stitched livery; the layers under it add the insulation between the heat and the driver.

Seams and closures are sewn with thread from the same fibre family, and closures are chosen so that nothing on the suit is a plastic that softens.

How to check itOn the sample, look inside.
  • Inside a seam: aramid layers, aramid thread.
  • Behind a stitched logo: no fused film.
  • Ask for the written construction note that comes with the sample.
What we will not claim

The homologation question: what we will not claim

A level belongs to a certificate; we quote one only when it exists for the exact suit you are ordering

This page does not print a homologation level. A level belongs to a certified product with a certificate number, and we quote one only when it exists for the exact construction you are ordering, not for a construction that resembles it.

Send us your series rulebook or the requirement your program follows, and we answer in writing what the suit we would build for you is and is not. The written answer travels with the sample and with every suit in the order.

In the bagThe construction note and our written reply to your rulebook question.
  • You send the rulebook or the requirement.
  • We answer in writing what the suit is and is not.

Construction fact

Layers, thread and closures from one fibre family. Nothing on the suit is a plastic that softens.

Collar to ankle

Anatomy of a custom fire suit, collar to ankle

Eight parts, each doing one job; the stitched livery sits on the parts that do not flex. The dark tiles are the three parts the helmet, the harness and the gloves meet.

Front · on the form
  • CollarCut low to sit under the helmet and a head-and-neck restraint; the inner face is soft aramid.
  • Front zip and flapFull-length zip with a wide aramid flap behind it, so the zip is never against the driver.
  • Shoulder and arm panelsColored panels carrying the main sponsor marks; the arm is cut forward for the wheel.
  • Elbow and back articulationPanels shaped for the seated reach so the suit does not bind at the shoulder.
  • Chest and back fieldsFlat panels for the largest stitched logos and the driver's name.
  • Belt and waistElastic at the back so the suit sits still under the harness.
  • Knee articulationShaped for the pedal position, with room for the leg to move.
  • Knit cuffsWrist and ankle, keeping the sleeve under the glove and the leg over the boot.
Stitched, not transferred

Stitched livery: sponsor marks on a fire suit without a transfer

The one place a printed transfer would be the wrong answer, and what goes there instead

Two methods, no film. A sponsor mark on a fire suit is either embroidered, at a density that survives a season of washing, or cut as a fabric panel from the same aramid family and stitched onto the shell. Fine lettering that would not survive embroidery is redrawn bolder and you see the redraw on the layout before anything is stitched.

The ruleLarge marks become panels; small marks become embroidery; nothing becomes a film.
  • Large mark → stitched aramid panel.
  • Small mark → embroidery at wash-proof density.
  • Fine lettering → redrawn bolder, shown on the layout first.

The layout shows the panels. It comes back with the pattern-piece outlines drawn over the artwork, so you can see which mark lands on which panel and which panels flex. A mark that would cross an articulation seam is moved, and the layout tells you why.

Measured seated

Measured seated: how a made-to-measure fire suit is taken

Custom fire suits measured standing bind in the car; ours are measured in the seat

Standing, then seated. The sheet asks for the driver measured standing and then seated, arms to the wheel and legs to the pedals. The seated set decides the sleeve length, the back length and the crotch, which are the three places a fire suit binds when it was measured wrong.

Signed before a layer is cut. The sheet comes back to you with our production numbers next to yours and any doubt flagged. For a program's sized run the same sheet is filled once per size with the block measurements, and a size-run set goes out before bulk.

StandingChest, waist, hips, inseam, arm, thigh.
SeatedSleeve to the wheel, back length, crotch, knee to the pedal.
  • You receive the sheet back with production numbers next to yours.
