Suits with leg pockets?

[REDrum]

Anyone know of a fire suite that features a leg pocket, other than the OMP ELITE?

Thnx

mine has pockets, but its a 2 piece suit, not sure if that's your thing or not.

I think the OP is referring to leg pockets - as in on the right lower leg for use by co-drivers while in the car.

me read no good.

Thanks guys.

The OMP ELITE I & II seems to be the only games in town, but no longer imported... :)

Pegasus still has a number of them that were made in 2007 for sale.

What about just taking a piece of nomex / pyrovatex fabric and sewing it onto the leg? It is still fire retardant that way...

IIRC, I've seen at least one co-driver in a Leaf suit with pockets like that - apparently they had them added them onto a custom suit when it was made.

The simplest and cheapest way to get a leg pocket is to design it yourself and have it added. Find Nomex on eBay to match your suit color if you're concerned about aesthetics. Have whoever's sewing it use Nomex thread if you're being really rigorous about fireproofing.

Best location, for a right-handed co-driver is on the inside of the left leg, at calf level. I have a pen/pencil pocket there and it's been a great addition to my suit.

Thanks Guys!

I gave on US based suit and ordered an OMP Elite2 from Demon/Tweaks. With shipping/tarrif it was 700 bux, so not too bad.

I'm sort of surprised no one makes a special suit for co-drivers, sort of a "cargo suit" with lots of techie pockets. But then again, I figure good fire protection science goes against the idea...people could load up pockets with god knows what....

I had Leaf put leg pockets, left arm pen loops, name, and velcro (so I could wear the appropriate sanctioning body's patch) on both my suits.

Hi I have great suit, it is one piece and have the pockets that I think you want. It's made by Design 500 in Seattle WA. they can do it in 2 or 3 layer in nomax or carbon X. My suit is
2 layer carbon X and the outer is water proof and I use it for track safety.
