Also as  the rider sits on the bike whilst refueling wearing only one piece leathers would they be also suitable for the refueler?to wear as the risk element seems the same?
also what about marshalls/and medics clothing as they are all potentially at risk if dealing with a crashed burning bike !perhaps they should also be given  SFI3.2A/5 overalls!!

Full-chat . Hi I agree with what you are saying the reaction to the fire in the pits is extreme to say the least . The level required for the fueler is top spec and because they have chosen to use a race spec suit it naturally adds to the price because of its original intended use. I think at last years Manx they made a special dispensation because of how late and close to the meeting they introduced the ruling about fire retardant clothing but this year everybody has to conform .
What gloves did you wear last year , the specs for this year are racing fireproof gloves and they are kin expensive as well . 
I think the whole lot for my pit crew is going to cost more than my race entry ? If my bike could do four laps on a tank I would not stop !!

IS THERE NO SUPPLY COMPANY OUT THERE THAT CAN SUPPLY WHAT WE ALL NEED AT A NICE CHEAP PRICE AND OUR PIT CREW CARRY ADVERTISING IN RETURN

hi Kursal flyer i got some OMP Nero gloves from Demon tweeks they were black with a white index finger unfortunately i lost one in parc ferm or paddock, luckily we were not racing on friday or i would have been stuffed  i looked every where for the glove checked out lost property in the race office and the lost property area in parc ferm but to no avail you would have thought the person who picked it up would have handed   it in or hung it on a fence /rail  (this was lost on the  wed)thinking we may need it for fridays race!99.9% of motor cycle enthusiasts would have done so but it was not my luck day,anyway i got another similar pair off ebay with the FIA 8856-2000 stamp on them.re  the overalls may wait to see what turns up on Ebay after the TT.But looks as if this years  MGP is going to be even more expensive.
ps i dont really understand about the four options re subscribing can you enlighten me.
