[jackal]

guys, i have some swan Sparco race suit
haven't used it for a few years and it needs a bit of a clean

anytone knwo whats the best way to go about this ?
do i need to dry clean it or cold handwash or something as obviously its got special materials in it and stuff.

I turn mine inside out, attach the velco flaps together, zip it up and put it in a cold machine wash with normal washing powder, then dry on a hanger. Works fine.

Nomex is a fireproof material, so you can machine wash it. Proban is a coating so thatll wash off. Remember that 1986 standard suits arent approved after then end of this year...
