This is one of Scott Speed’s actual Puma driver suits from when he drove for the Nascar Red Bull Team. This is a one of a kind Custom Suit that would cost upwards of $4,000 to $5,000 to have made with all of the embroidery. A suit of this quality in a solid color without any embroidery costs $1,700. It is unbelievably lightweight. We purchased it last year with the intention of using it for my son but he did not race. This suit is still in as purchased condition as Scott Speed left it. We paid $1,250 for it and are selling for the best offer within reason. The size is Chest 38 Waist 30 Inseam 32. My son is 5’9” and 125 lbs. and it fit him perfectly. I have copied some info about the suit from Puma’s website.
The PUMA suit utilizes revolutionary and proprietary advancements in material, form, function and design synthesizing the ultimate drivers environment for performance and endurance for the professional driver. Lightweight and breathable quilting of a unique 3-layer design consisting of an Aramidic outer layer, a Nomex waffle inner layer, and PUMA’s new proprietory ‘middle layer’ offers an unmatched 33% weight reduction, an increase in permeability (breathability) by 55%, and a higher thermal protection by 11% over other manufacture’s 3-layer lightweight designs. Anatomically correct pre-shaped body creating less bulk in the driving position, increased freedom of movement and agility, along with pre-shaped ‘slim-fit’ sleeves and pre-shaped legs reducing driver’s fatigue of the arms and legs. PUMA’s own proprietary EMS system of elasticized panels at the back of the arms, replacing soft knit gussets, reduces the weight and bulk in the shoulder area optimizing the acceptance of Hans head and shoulder restraints. Superior driver comfort is achieved through forward positioned ‘seamless’ seaming, along with a large lower lumbar stretch panel to reduce abdominal pressure in the seated position. Updated PUMA form stripe in a HANS compatible design creating epaulettes for driver safety and extraction. Weight comparison: 280 gr/m2 (33% lighter than other light-weight suits). FIA approved (8856-2000) and SFI/5 approved
