Proban suit OK for hillclimbing 2012?

[Shoestringracer]

Hello,

I've read the blue book (on line) and it says "FIA 8856-2000 or FIA 1986" which I can't find on my Proban suit so I'm thinking I'll need a new suit? Is this right? I know that the MSA have been threaterning this for a while but I'm just surprised that some of the specialists are still promoting £100 Proban suits as suitable and I haven't seen more people moaning!

Assuming I do need a new suit anyone found a good deal?

Thanks

Im guessing from their username, they will fo with the 2nd hand option...

As it happens I'm thinking of changing my username as "Shoestring" is missleading but I don't think "Spends money as required just chose a fairly economic form of motorsport and a farily cheap to look after car as I have several other expensive hobbies racer" would fit! The shoestring part came from my website where I was proving that motorsport neededent be ruinous by keeping a tally of cost. It was also useful for the angle I was taking with magazine articals I was writing at the time which were focused on grassroot sport. As far as the suit goes I will definately buy new as it is just so much easier and for a couple of hundred quid I can't see the point in trawing ebay.


Also second hand clothing... bit yuck.
