Comfort Designed for Competition

A race suit must protect the driver while allowing complete freedom of movement.

The RRS Speed features an athletic cut designed around driving ergonomics, helping provide comfort during long stages, endurance races and extended cockpit sessions.

The lightweight construction helps reduce heat build-up, while the Comfort Fibre inner lining improves airflow and moisture management.

Premium Motorsport Design

The RRS Speed combines technical performance with a modern appearance.

The shiny outer fabric and box quilt stitching provide a distinctive look that stands apart from traditional race suits, while maintaining the safety standards required for competition.

Advanced Nomex® Technology

Nomex®, developed by DuPont, is a high-performance aramid fibre designed for heat and flame-resistant applications.

Unlike chemically treated materials, Nomex® protection is inherent within the fibre structure itself, meaning the protective properties remain throughout the life of the garment when correctly maintained.
