Competition newb looking for suit - is this a deal? Options

[smj]

I've caught a LeMons seat, and one of the things I haven't needed before is an SFI-rated driving suit. Since ambient temperature at this venue (Thunderhill) is typically 85-105 this time of year I'm a little concerned about the cheaper multi-layer suits not breathing well.

In my search I came across the Lico/Sparco Jewel Top Suit at Wine Country Motorsports for $350. It looks like a close-out, but they seem to have a good variety of sizes even though I didn't find a lot of other sites carrying it.

Anybody have an opinion about that suit? Recommendation for something better in that price range?

T.C's suits are badass. However, if you buy one on Ebay and plan to use it to race in, be aware that you'll need to send it back to the manufacturer to get re-certified for SFI specs. That is assuming that the suit is in good enough condition that they will do so. I dunno, I think the suit you were looking at seems like a decent deal. Sparco makes good stuff. I went the el-cheapo route, but I'm still pretty happy. Breathes enough for me.
