Description
Thirty percent thinner then previous generations, the Sparco Eagle 2.0 racing suit continues to feature Sparco’s patented Hocotex material, a single layer fabric with the fire protection of a multi-layer suit! Thanks to this brilliant material, the Sparco Eagle 2.0 is three times as breathable as a traditional layered racing suit. Unique to the Eagle, large side and back elastic panels are aided by 360 degree floating arm gussets for unparalleled flexibility and comfort. Dubbed Eagle-Fabric, this stretch fabric is more breathable and abrasion resistant then comparable stretch materials. Debuting with four vibrant color options, the Sparco Eagle 2.0 passes the latest FIA 8856-2018 homologation.
How does Hocotex work? Racing suits are traditionally constructed using layers of fabric sewn together with a quilted pattern. This quilting creates pockets of air between the layers which expands in a fire, providing thermal protection for the driver. Hocotex uses a honeycomb structure with over 60,000 internal air cells that provide a 10 to 12% increase in heat protection. Compare this to the 300 quilted chambers found in a traditional suit and the difference is clear!

Sizing
Note: All measurements are in inches. Your ideal size will be the smallest size that includes your largest measurement.
Sizing Tips: A Driving Suit should have a loose, comfortable fit and allow for a full range of motion. Make sure the fit doesn’t change when sitting down! A suit that fits tightly may sacrifice the protective layer of air between the suit and your skin/underwear and can potentially decrease the level of protection provided by your suit. Driving suits do not “break-in” or stretch over time.
