snippet: <strong>Single Layer Construction</strong>.<strong>Three Layer Protection.</strong> The Eagle RS-8 is the result of over 3 years of research and development. Sparco has patented a new technology called HOCOTEX which revolutionizes the way racing suits are made. This new exclusive Sparco technology creates a single layer fabric which has the protection of what is normally achieved by a multi-layer fabric. The Eagle RS-8 is FIA 8858-2000 homologated.<p><strong>Lightness and Comfort through Technology:</strong> The Eagle RS-8 made in HOCOTEX is one of the lightest racing suits in the world. It is comparable to the Sparco Superlegerra.</p><p><strong>Comfort never felt before:</strong> Thanks to HOCOTEX, the Eagle RS-8 is three times more breathable than a suit produced using traditional technology. The use of this relatively thinner fabric along with large side and back stretch panels and 360 degree arm gussets give the Eagle RS-8 ultimate flexibility and comfort. The Eagle RS-8 uses at new stretch material called Eagle fabric. This Eagle Fabric is lighter, more breathable and abrasion resistant than the traditional stretch material. In addition the Eagle RS-9 features reinforced arms and legs with anti-abrasive material.</p><p><strong>Improved fire resistance:</strong> Traditional racing suits have layers of fabric sewn together with a quilted pattern. The quilting provides air space between the layers which bloats in a fire, this provides thermal protection to the driver. HOCOTEX creates a honeycomb structure with internal air cells that ensure the driver even more fire protection. Traditional box quilting creates an average of 300 air chambers in a size 52 suit. The Eagle RS-8 has over 60,000 microcell air chambers which provide a 10 to 12% increase in heat protection performance.</p><p> The Eagle RS-8 is FIA 8856-2000 homologated.<br><br><strong>Features:</strong><ul><li>One of the lightest racing suits in the world</li><li>Single layer construction, multi-layer protection</li><li>Three times more breathable than a standard suit</li><li> 360 Degree arm gussets</li><li>Large side and back stretch panels with new breathable fabric</li><li>Reinforced arms and legs with anti-abrasive material</li><li>3 years of Research and Development</li><li>HOCOTEX Patented Sparco Technology - Made in Italy</li><li>Available in White, Blue, Black and Red</li><li>FIA 8856-2000 Homologated</li></ul>Please <A href="/catalog/productdocs/SUIT_SIZE_CHART.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</A> for Sparco's measurement guide<br><br><center><iframe width="450" height="253" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQVyiWaxaeI?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen loading="lazy"></iframe></br> (Page 1)
