1,3, & 5 Layer suits do not have an expiration date or a recertification period.

SFI tag numbers: 3.2A/1, 3.2A/3, 3.2A/5

10,15, & 20 Layer suits expire every 5 years but can be recertified by the manufacturer.

SFI tag numbers: 3.2A/10, 3.2A/15, 3.2A/20

Most guys are using a 5 layer suit.

Cool, Very well might have been the helmet.

Snell M2000 Helmets expired at the first of this year.

I have a really nice custom painted helmet that’s a paper weight now! LOL

Do you plan on getting the new suite required by NHRA for cars running a fuel with a ethanol percentage greater then 10? I know it's the same as the methanol fuel guys run, but I'm new to actually getting safety stuff so I can't remember which one it it.
