Race suit or Pants and Jacket? Looking for some actual input from people using a 1 piece race suit or Pants and Jacket. What do you use? What do you like and don't like about it? Thanks in advance 
2 pcs has to be more comfortable being able to take jacket off. I've been watching this for a long time but can't see buying it for the little time I spend at the track. Best price by far I found anywhere.

Do you have their 1 piece or 2 piece suit?
How is it during the peak of summer, breathable?
2 PC to me has always made more sense. Much easier if you have to come back to pits for a short time. Easier to take coat off make needed adjustments and coat back on headed back to staging lane.

I am not a good one to judge. I could wear the suit in 30 degree weather and be hot.
I prefer the 2 piece though. Can put the pants on and wear them for the day and then just slip the jacket on when needed.

Looking like a grand worth of entry level safety equipment to run NHRA.
Racequip stuff is ok, for not a whole lot of money more you can buy Pyrotect, and I have been very happy with everything I've gotten from them so far.
Opt for a 2 piece suit... unless you're racing a fuel car that requires a single piece suit I'd stay away due to the heat and loss of mobility.
Nitro gloves, and boots, never a bad idea. Extremities can be burned and burnt bad in a fire...

A 2 piece in a fire is like wiping before you poop. It doesn't make sense. Fire can and will make its way up under the jacket. Yes they are more comfortable and cheaper, but a few minutes in a one piece beats the hell out of a skin graph on your midsection.
CROW makes some nice 1 piece multi-layer suites at a good price.

Old thread....
1 piece 2 layer Nomex race suit and Nomex long sleeve shirt and pants underneath.
2 layers plus 1 layer of Nomex underwear should give me 20 seconds fire survival time.
We're required to be able to get out of the car in less than 20 seconds.
A cool shirt circulates ice water in small tubes under the suit.
Nomex shoes, socks, gloves and baklava too.
Full face helmet with Hans device, radios and a helmet blower.
Also a hand held extinguisher and a 4 nozzle onboard fire system.
5 point belts, helmet containment bead seat, collapsible steering column.
If the car works well, I'll have it on 3 times a day for 30 minute races in a road racing the car.
Never see 2 piece suits at road races.
