When using Nomex underwear with a one-layer fire suit, the underwear needs to be full-length, right? Or can one use a short-sleeved Nomex shirt and short pants (if that's even available ) with the one-layer suit?
I think the answer to your question is yes you need full length. I have never heard of short sleeve Nomex shirt and Nomex shorts for Racing. The question I have is why with a one layer suit would you want to wear any less than full length? Maybe you should consider a two layer suit where Nomex is suggested but not required. I have one, two and three layer driving suits and my preference is the two layer. Not as heavy and not as hot. K-1 makes a nice two layer SFI suit for under $300. If you buy a one layer for $120 and then buy the underware for another hundred, you might as well get a two layer. Just my thoughts.
Just curious, really. While looking around online for new Nomex gear, I came across a short-sleeved Sparco shirt on one website and boxers on another - both Nomex.
I have Carbon-X socks, greatest thing since sliced bread, if you can afford it. it is most comforft you will find.
Just so you know Morg is full of it most of the time, but telling the truth here!

Thanks for the input, all. I actually still have both one-layer and three-layer suits from my roadracing seasons, although my Nomex long johns are nowhere to be found and the top is getting a bit ratty...hence the need for new ones. Any suggestions on where a good deal can be had?
) with the one-layer suit?
