"Hi, my name is Tommy and I'm speaking on the behalf of Expert Village. We're going to talk about suits this clip. The driving suit is actually not a fire, a Nomex suite. They're a brazen resistant and in case you come out of the car and slide across the ground you have to have a suit. You want one that's probably a level 2 and it's just the abrasion ability of it. One thing about the suits is, you need to buy them just a little bit large because when you sit down in the cart your legs extend up and they're pretty tight. So, you need to buy one a little bit longer than what you need. Suits run anywhere from a range of $100 up to $500. Most of them are the same abrasion resistant. It's just the quality of the materials and stuff. This suit is a Sparkco suit. It's a Monoco. It has the 360 degree sleeves. It's just a lot nicer suit. Pricing goes anywhere, this is in the $400 range. This suit is about 2 and half years old and it wore really well the whole time. Cheaper suits like this one don't last quite as long, but they get really dirty and stuff if you don't keep them really well. So you probably want to change suits every couple of years."
