I wore mine for the first time this weekend with sparco nomex under wear also. Friday was about 75F and I didn't sweat in them at all. Amazing. Sat was 88F and I did a little sweating in the car but found it very comfortable. Walking around the paddock in them was fine also, they breath very well.

If you can afford them then it's a no brainer.

You just had to throw that part in there, didnt you...

I looked at the higher end suits, but just couldnt justify the 2x the price. Guess I'll be the real sweaty one when the real heat comes..

thats what Jim's DIY cool shirt is for

Thats a great point Ken. I think a cool suit plus a 500 buck suit would be a great combination and probably work better than a 1500 buck suit with no cooler.

I have the same suit and it is excellent at keeping you cool but for the most part us up here in the midwest can get by just fine with a mid-line suit in a normal car for most DE activity. If racing enduros I think its a worth while investment as keeping your core body temp down can mean the difference between winning and losing because of the ability to think clearly.

I had a very heavy suit before I got the Sparco and in the DSR I sweated my ass off because it was a lot of work to drive the car but with the Sparco while I was still sweating it wasnt as bad. How it translates in a race I will have to wait until next year to figure out.
