Nomex Race Underwear

FIA and SFI Approved Nomex Race Underwear

Race underwear is the critical layer of protection that is closest to the skin.

Fyshe FIA and SFI Approved Nomex Race underwear is engineered for competitive motorsport and certified to FIA 8856-2018 standards. Fire resistance, thermal performance and material integrity are tested to meet international requirements.

The lightweight nature of the material helps create an almost imperceptible second skin.

Protection, temperature control, comfort and a consistent fit. No distractions.

Why Fyshe Race underwear

Protection is the baseline. Performance follows.

Inherent Fire Resistance

Constructed from Nomex fibres that do not melt or drip under heat. This provides a stable barrier in the event of fire and critical time for response.

Lightweight, Controlled Fit

The material sits close to the body without restriction. Excess bulk is removed. Movement remains natural inside the cockpit.

Breathable Construction

Moisture is drawn away from the skin. Heat is managed through airflow. This supports concentration over long sessions.

Developed for Motorsport Use

Every element is built for the seated driving position. Nothing is decorative. Each detail serves a purpose.

Material & Construction

Every detail exists for a reason.

Thermal Regulation

Nomex provides both flame resistance and insulation. It helps stabilise body temperature in high-heat environments.

Breathable, Flexible Fabric

Stretch allows unrestricted movement. The fabric adapts to the body without creating pressure points or friction.

Durable Build

Reinforced construction ensures long-term performance through repeated use and washing. Protection is maintained over time.

Low-Profile Seams

Reduced bulk under the race suit improves comfort and eliminates distraction.

FIA and SFI Approval

Fyshe race underwear meets FIA 8856-2018 homologation standards. This includes testing for: flame resistance, heat transfer protection and material stability
Each garment carries FIA and SFI labelling for compliance in regulated competition.
For professional and amateur racing, this is the required standard. It ensures your base layer performs under the same scrutiny as the rest of your equipment.

Fit & Selection

Fit determines effectiveness.

Close, Not Restrictive

The garment should sit against the skin without limiting circulation or movement. Excess material reduces thermal efficiency and can cause distraction under a suit.

Full Coverage

Base layers must integrate with your race suit, gloves and boots. Overlap between components is essential for continuous protection.

Breathability Matters

In endurance racing and high ambient temperatures, airflow supports concentration and reduces fatigue over time.

Bespoke Options

For drivers requiring a precision fit, garments can be produced to a bespoke pattern. This ensures consistent contact across the body and removes excess material entirely.

Integrated Performance

Racewear works as a system.
Base layers manage heat and provide fire protection. The suit protects against external exposure. Gloves control steering input. Boots control the pedals.
Each piece has a defined role. Together, they create complete protection and a consistent feel.
When everything fits and functions correctly, you do not notice it. Your focus stays on the track, not the equipment.

Care & Maintenance

Performance depends on the condition. Wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can compromise flame-resistant properties. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat only.
Improper care reduces effectiveness over time. Before every event, inspect for wear, thinning or damage. Even minor degradation can affect protection. Replace any compromised garments immediately to ensure consistent performance and safety.
