Constructed with a breathable, lighter-weight fabric, the suit is significantly more comfortable and flexible than traditional firesuits, enhancing a racer\u2019s range of motion while maintaining the rigorous safety standards required for professional motorsports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis suit is a game-changer,\u201d said Tommy Cunningham, owner of Stroud Safety. \u201cMine weighs less than seven and a half pounds, which is incredibly light for an SFI 20 suit. The increased flexibility makes movement much easier, and the breathable fabric ensures greater comfort for drivers during long, demanding events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stroud Safety began developing the fabric in 2020, working tirelessly to source and refine the material.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t manufacture the fabric ourselves,\u201d explained Cunningham. \u201cInstead, we partnered with a builder and spent four years testing and perfecting it. Once we had a fabric sample, we sent it to SFI for rigorous testing and approval. Just two weeks ago, we officially passed SFI testing, and now we\u2019re thrilled to introduce it to the racing community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham personally tested the suit in various settings, including a half-day trial in Stroud Safety\u2019s Oklahoma City office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the most comfortable suit I\u2019ve ever worn,\u201d he noted. \u201cHaving worn other brands before owning Stroud, I can confidently say this suit stands out for its comfort and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The firesuit debuted at PRI with immediate success. The initial release features an SFI 20-rated option, with an SFI 15-rated version in development to accommodate racers who don\u2019t require the higher rating.<\/p>\n<p>Customizable embroidery and design options are still available with this new material, ensuring racers get the same personalized experience Stroud Safety is known for. The suit will make its competitive debut at the upcoming World Series of Pro Mod, with Cunningham himself wearing the new design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been overwhelmed by the positive response at PRI,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cThis new firesuit represents years of dedication and collaboration, and we\u2019re excited to see it on tracks across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to place an order, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stroudsafety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">www.StroudSafety.com<\/a>\u00a0or call 405-632-2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-modified-info\">This story was originally published on December 16, 2024. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DI_flat_red-e1711481551475.png\" width=\"20px\" alt=\"Drag Illustrated\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/stroud-safety-introduces-new-breathable-lightweight-firesuit-at-pri\/\">Stroud Safety Introduces New Breathable, Lightweight Firesuit at PRI<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/\">Drag Illustrated<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stroud Safety, a leading name in racing safety equipment, unveiled its highly anticipated new firesuit at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show, delivering an innovative combination of breathability, lightweight materials and unmatched flexibility for racers.
