Sparco Shield RW-9 Compression Socks - FIA

The Sparco Shield RW-9 Compression Sock is the only FIA approved compression sock on the market. It uses a seamless construction that delivers Class 1 compression force. This graduate compression force uses the same principles used in action sports. The RW-9 sock exerts maximum pressure at the ankle and then decreases going upwards towards the calf, to facilitate the upward return of blood circulation. This compression force is proven to minimize muscle fatigue to improve driver comfort and focus.

The Sparco Shield RW-9 line of Nomex® undergarments provides the highest level of breathability, comfort and protection. Shield RW-9 uses a seamless construction with ultra-soft stretchable material. Three are two different woven materials in key areas; thin stretch Nomex® for comfort and mobility as well as a double perforated Nomex® for increased breathability and ultimate comfort. The minimal seams are stitched flat with thin specialized thread for added comfort. All Shield RW-9 pieces are treated with Sparco X-Cool Silver which draws heat from the body surface to cool the driver. In addition to cooling the driver, X-Cool Silver treatment has an anti-bacterial effect.
