Topic: Safety Gear Q: Short sleeve SFI T shirt ok?
Pyrotect has a nice cheap short sleeve T that sounds a lot more comfortable than a long sleeve turtle neck for Buttonwillow in August.
The only reason I'm buying the shirt is because of the rules. So really the question is does a short sleeve T meet the rules (and any potential future rule changes). I'm aware of the extra protection a long sleeve turtleneck provides, I'll take my chances if the rules allow. I was fine just wearing a cotton tshirt under my single layer suit at all the previous races I ran.
So what's the verdict, would this shirt meet the rules (or any expected rule changes on the horizon)?
