    Before or after an hour in the car?

    Racequip 3-2A/5 is about 4 pounds dry.

    I have two.
    The Sparco Tech 5 (all around use) known as "ol faithful" is 3.78 pounds.
    The Sparco X-light (Sunday Suit) is 3.0 pounds.
    Both are 3 layer FIA/ SFI 5.
    Both are size 60 (euro sizing).

    cheers

    ***My race suit weighs 25 lbs. Yes it does! ***

    Is it probable that the built in cup weighs 20 pounds?

    TeamDI's Evo 2 Three layer weighs 3.8lbs in size 60.

    TeamDI also makes a custom 2 Layer thats around 3 lbs, same SFI rating, with a TPP rating only 17% less than the 3 layer. 2 layers TPP rating is also over 13% higher than whats required for the SFI 3.2A/5 rating.

    Yea, but IF the suit gained 2 pounds, you LOST that and a couple more...
