Sparco FIA/SFI cooling shirt

The Sparco cooling shirt (MAGLIA R586 Cooling System Underwear) is a flame-retardant undershirt with a built-in network of flexible micro-tubes. Connect it to a fluid-based driver cooling system and chilled fluid circulates around your upper body. According to Sparco this can lower your core temperature by up to 8 degrees Celsius and reduces both physical and mental fatigue.

The shirt is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.2A/5, so you can wear it in competition. You choose whether the cooling tubes run only at the front or at both front and back. The front-only version keeps your back free of tubing and so prevents pressure points against the seat; the front-and-back version gives maximum cooling.

Choosing your size and delivery

When ordering, choose your colour, size and cooling configuration. A good, close fit is important so the cooling tubes stay against your body. If you are unsure about the size or the connection to your cooling system, please contact us before ordering. Delivery time is 4 to 7 days.

Chilled fluid around your upper body, up to 8 degrees lower core temperature and still FIA and SFI: stay cool when the cockpit is boiling.

Why choose this Sparco cooling shirt?

Heat and long stints quickly lead to fatigue and loss of concentration. This shirt actively lowers your body’s heat load, so you stay calmer and think more clearly. The choice between front only and front and back lets you tailor the cooling to your seating position and preference.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Sparco cooling shirt work?

The Sparco cooling shirt has a network of flexible micro-tubes through which chilled fluid from a driver cooling system flows. This carries heat away from your upper body.

What is the difference between the two cooling options?

With cooling tubes only at the front your back stays free, which prevents pressure points against the seat. With tubes at front and back you get maximum cooling; that version costs € 60.50 more.

Is the shirt approved for competition?

Yes, the materials are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.2A/5.

Do I need a cooling system?

Yes, the shirt is designed for use with a fluid-based driver cooling system.
