Default Harness & Fire Jacket

Since I am hitting 11's. My track says I need a 5 point harness and a fire jacket.

Any recommendations?

RJS makes both and are sold most everywhere and seem to be the best priced.

Thanks guys. The problem now is which model?? I plan on using my rollbar for the straps. Getting a crouch strap bracket.

Can't quite see how everything bolts up.

Hi Angie thanks for the link.
When I was searching. I saw a few models on the harnesses. What are the differences?

The Jackets looks good. I plan on getting one of them.

How does the crotch strap bracket bolt up?

And can you get the Wolfe Rollbar sleeve?

The racing harnesses that we carry are the "cam lock" style, which makes it very easy to get in and out of. (You just twist the **** and all of the latches release.) You'll need a 3" 5 pt harness to be legal.

The Wolfe crotch strap bracket bolts to your existing seat bracket holes, so you don't have to do any additional drilling for it and it makes the harness install a little easier.

We can also get the rollbar sleeves for you, just give us a call and we can order those for you as well.
