Sizing and Usage
Please ensure that your Chillout Pro Sport garments are not too tight, as this reduces the level of protection, and that they are also comfortable to wear under the actual conditions of use.
In order to obtain the maximum protection, all the clothing required in Appendix L (Chapter III, Article 2) to the FIA International Sporting Code should be used.
Wearers are warned of the particular vulnerability of the neck, wrists, and ankles. The neck, wrist, and ankles shall always be covered by at least two articles of protective clothing.
The balaclava and top underlayers shall overlap by a minimum of 3cm / 1.2" around the driver's neck, except at the front center line where there shall be 8cm / 3.2" overlap. The top and bottom underlayers shall overlap by a minimum of 7cm / 2.8" around the drivers waist.
Maintenance of Chillout Pro Sport Underlayers
Chillout Pro Sport flame resistant underwear must be cleaned and ironed according to the instructions on the label and always to be handled with care. Drivers should replace any and all items as soon as they show signs of wear. Please note that the materials are light sensitive and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time. Sunlight especially can cause changes in the shade of colors and begin the premature aging of the materials.
Embroidery/Labels on Chillout Pro Sport Underlayers
Protective clothing, while designed to offer protection against heat and flames, may not safeguard against all potential hazards encountered in automobile racing. It is essential that users adhere to the guidelines outlined in this manual. Proper sizing and usage are imperative for optimal protection. Users should ensure that garments are not overly tight, as this can compromise protection levels, and that they are comfortable to wear under actual usage conditions. For maximum protection, it is recommended to utilize all clothing items specified in Appendix L (Chapter III, Article 2) of the FIA International Sporting Code.
Wearers should pay particular attention to the vulnerability of the neck, wrists, and ankles, ensuring they are covered by at least two articles of protective clothing. Specific overlap measurements are provided for various garment combinations, detailed within this manual. Embroidery and badges should be applied in accordance with fireproof standards outlined in ISO 15025. Only the garment manufacturer is authorized to apply advertising through printing or transfers, and certification from the manufacturer is necessary for any customized garments.
Any alterations or customizations not meeting these standards may invalidate the garment's homologation, potentially resulting in penalties or disqualification during events. In case of uncertainty regarding advertising additions, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer.
Cleaning/Maintenance of Chillout Pro Sport Underlayers
The clothing items must be cleaned and ironed following the instructions provided on the label and handled with due care and attention at all times. Garments showing signs of wear should be replaced promptly. It is important to be aware that the materials used in the clothing are sensitive to light and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Exposure to sunlight can result in changes to the colors and premature aging of the materials.
If your clothing sustains damage such as tears, abrasions, or exposure to heat and flames, it must be replaced. However, if minor tears can be repaired, the same materials and fabrics originally used in manufacturing must be utilized for the repair.
Chillout Systems bears no responsibility for any damage incurred by users or third parties due to improper use, abuse, or incorrect maintenance of the clothing, including any improperly repaired garments.
EEC Certification/Guarantee of Chillout Pro Sport Underlayers

Featuring a dual-layer front, soft brushed interior, extra-flat seams, and anatomically pre-formed nose, the Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Balaclava is engineered to reduce pressure points and improve comfort during demanding driving sessions.
Certified to FIA 8856-2018, this premium racing balaclava is an excellent addition to the safety equipment of Porsche GT racers, endurance drivers, club racers, and motorsport enthusiasts who demand professional-grade protection and comfort.
Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Nomex Balaclava Features

Official Porsche Motorsport Branding: Embroidered Porsche Motorsport logo provides an authentic factory-inspired appearance.
Dual-Layer Front Construction: Additional fabric coverage at the front of the balaclava provides enhanced protection in a critical area.
Soft Brushed Interior: Premium interior finish delivers comfortable contact against the skin.
Extra-Flat Seams: Edge-to-edge flat stitching helps minimize pressure points and irritation beneath a racing helmet.

Available Colors: Black and White.
FIA 8856-2018 Certified Fire Protection
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Nomex Balaclava is homologated to the FIA 8856-2018 motorsport protective clothing standard.
This certification establishes protective requirements for flame-resistant clothing used by racing drivers, including balaclavas, underwear, gloves, and other approved equipment.
During a motorsport fire incident, a correctly worn fire-resistant balaclava provides an additional protective barrier around the driver's head and neck.
Unlike conventional headwear, which may not provide appropriate heat and flame resistance, FIA-homologated racing balaclavas are manufactured using specialized protective materials and certified construction methods.
The balaclava is designed to work together with an approved racing helmet, fire-resistant underwear, and a certified racing suit as part of a complete motorsport safety system.
Important: Always confirm your racing organization's current protective clothing requirements and ensure the balaclava's FIA homologation label is intact.
Dual-Layer Front Construction for Additional Protection
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Balaclava features a dual-layer front design that provides additional fabric coverage around the front of the head and face.
This construction adds a protective layer while preserving the comfortable, close-fitting design required beneath a racing helmet.
By incorporating additional fabric in the front area, Stand21 provides extra material coverage without requiring drivers to wear a bulky or poorly fitting head covering.
The result is a premium fire-resistant racing hood that balances protective coverage with practical helmet compatibility.
Soft Brushed Interior for Racing Comfort
Comfort is essential when wearing a balaclava beneath a tightly fitted racing helmet for extended periods.
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Nomex Balaclava incorporates a soft brushed interior designed to feel comfortable against the driver's skin.
The smooth fabric helps reduce irritation and friction around the forehead, cheeks, neck, and other contact areas.
Its soft construction is especially beneficial during endurance racing, where drivers may wear a helmet and balaclava continuously for long stints.
The lightweight feel helps provide a comfortable protective layer without introducing unnecessary bulk beneath the helmet.
Extra-Flat Seams Reduce Helmet Pressure Points
Traditional raised stitching can create uncomfortable pressure points when compressed between a driver's head and tightly fitted helmet padding.
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Balaclava uses edge-to-edge extra-flat seams to minimize this problem.
The low-profile seam construction helps keep the interior surface smooth while reducing concentrated pressure around the head.
This design is particularly valuable for drivers using snug-fitting full-face racing helmets, where even small amounts of excess fabric can affect comfort.
Extra-flat seams also help the balaclava sit naturally against the skin without creating unnecessary folds.
Anatomically Pre-Formed Nose for Improved Fit
One of the distinguishing comfort features of the Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Balaclava is its pre-formed nose construction.
Rather than relying on a completely flat fabric pattern, the nose area is shaped to better follow the contours of the driver's face.
This ergonomic design helps reduce excess fabric around the bridge and sides of the nose while maintaining comfortable coverage.
A properly positioned balaclava also helps prevent unnecessary fabric movement when putting on or removing a racing helmet.
The pre-formed design is especially useful for drivers who frequently experience bunching or pressure around the nose when wearing conventional racing hoods.
Breathable Comfort and Heat Management
Racing cockpits can become extremely hot during summer events, endurance competitions, and extended track sessions.
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Nomex Balaclava is designed to balance fire-resistant coverage with comfort during these demanding conditions.
Its fabric construction helps manage body heat and perspiration while maintaining a close-fitting profile beneath the helmet.
The soft interior and anatomically shaped design help reduce distractions caused by excess fabric movement or uncomfortable seams.
For endurance drivers and competitors wearing full protective equipment for extended periods, these comfort-focused features can make an important difference.
Officially Licensed Porsche Motorsport Racing Gear
The Stand21 Porsche Motorsport Nomex Balaclava features an embroidered Porsche Motorsport logo, providing authentic motorsport styling.
As part of the officially licensed Porsche Motorsport driver equipment collection, the balaclava complements Porsche-branded racing suits, gloves, fire-resistant underwear, and other premium driver safety accessories.
Its clean, professional appearance is particularly well suited to drivers competing in Porsche GT3 Cup cars, Cayman GT4 race cars, and other Porsche motorsport applications.
Whether participating in Porsche-focused competition or other forms of automotive racing, the Stand21 balaclava combines recognizable Porsche Motorsport styling with FIA-certified protection.
