Sparco Eagle LT Driver Race Suit | FIA 8856-2000

Sparco Eagle LT Driver Race Suit (Limited Edition) The Sparco Eagle LT is a limited-edition race suit available only for the US market. The Sparco Eagle LT race suit features an all-new design boasting two terrific colorways. Because this is a limited edition suit, it is only available while supplies last. Single-Layer Comfort, Multi-Layer Protection The Sparco Eagle LT race suit is the result of more than three years of Sparco research and development. Among other innovations, Sparco patented a new race suit material technology called HOCOTEX®, which revolutionizes the way racing fire suits are made. This exclusive Sparco technology creates a single-layer fabric that exhibits heat and fire protection previously achievable only using multi-layer suit construction. As a result, the Sparco Eagle LT race suit is a single-layer racing fire suit that is FIA 8856-2000 certified. Breathability And Flexibility Thanks to HOCOTEX®, the Sparco Eagle LT race suit is three times more breathable than a race suit offering similar fire protection, but produced using traditional technology. The use of this single-layer fabric, along with large side and rear stretch panels and 360º arm gussets, gives the Sparco Eagle LT amazingly easy flexibility and range-of-motion. The flexible panels in the Eagle LT use another new Sparco material called Eagle fabric. This elasticized mesh is lighter, more breathable, and more abrasion resistant than traditional stretch material. Again, all while maintaining exceptional heat- and fire-resistance. How Does HOCOTEX® Work, Exactly? Traditional racing suits have two or three layers of fabric sewn together with a quilted pattern embroidered into them. The quilting creates air pockets between the layers which expand when heated. This is how traditional racing fire suits provide thermal protection to the wearer. HOCOTEX®, on the other hand, consists of a honeycomb structure with 60,000 internal air microcells that insulate the wearer from fire and heat to an even greater degree than traditional box quilting. The result is the Sparco Eagle LT provides a 10% to 12% increase in heat-protection performance.
