Heat in a race car, it’s a real issue every racer faces. We aren’t just talking about the kind you feel in the air, we’re talking about the intense, unrelenting heat that builds up in a race car cockpit. You know the feeling: that creeping discomfort, the heat, the sweat, the way it messes with your focus just when you need it most. It’s like your gear is working against you, adding one more challenge to an already intense environment. Continue reading for how Chillout Motorsports underwear range overcomes this challenge…
Chillout Motorsports new Pro Sport range isn’t your average racing underwear; this is gear engineered to the highest standard, meeting the stringent FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 standards (socks are only FIA approved). It will keep you cool, comfortable, and laser-focused. Designed for anyone who’s felt the oppressive heat of a high-performance car and knows it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s a distraction that can compromise your split-second decisions.
The Chillout Pro Sport lineup includes a top, bottoms, balaclava, and socks, all made with premium flame-resistant materials that not only protect but also actively work to keep you cool. Imagine being able to focus solely on the track, knowing that your gear is designed to wick away moisture, manage heat, and provide full-body protection, all while feeling lightweight and breathable. Chillout Motorsports underwear is all about helping you perform at your peak, without the distraction of overheating.
Meet the Pro Sport Range: Your New Secret Weapon for Staying Cool Under Fire
Let’s face it, driving in a high-speed, high-stakes environment like motorsport isn’t just about skill; it’s about endurance, precision, and the ability to stay focused despite intense heat and pressure. That’s where the Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport range comes in. This isn’t your average base layer; it’s an elite lineup of racing underwear, meticulously engineered to help you stay cool, protected, and totally focused in the cockpit. From top to bottom, each piece is packed with the latest in wearable cooling tech and built to keep up with the rigorous demands of racing.
Each piece in the Pro Sport range—the top, bottoms, balaclava, and socks—is made with Phase Changing Materials (PCMs), a groundbreaking technology designed to regulate body temperature dynamically by up to 4.5°C or 8°F. PCMs work by absorbing and releasing heat as your body temperature fluctuates. When things heat up beyond 28°C (82.4°F), the material absorbs the excess warmth, and when temperatures drop, it releases stored heat to keep you comfortably balanced. Let’s break down what makes each piece in this range so impressive.
1. Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport Flame-Resistant Top
Picture this: you’re locked into the cockpit, the engine’s roaring, and your adrenaline’s spiking. But instead of that creeping discomfort from overheating, you’re feeling cool and collected.
That’s thanks to the Pro Sport top’s PCM technology, which keeps your core temperature steady. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, wicking away sweat before it even becomes a distraction. With ultra-flat seams, this top moves with you, preventing chafing and adding a second-skin feel. Approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 standards, it also offers reliable flame resistance, so you’re covered in more ways than one.
2. Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport Flame-Resistant Bottoms
The Pro Sport bottoms are every bit as impressive as the top. They bring the same temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking PCM tech, keeping your legs as cool and comfortable as your torso.
These bottoms don’t just stop at heat control; they’re built for flexibility and comfort, so you can focus on every turn without restriction. Their flat-lock seams prevent any irritation or bunching, letting you stay nimble. With FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 approval, you get an extra layer of flame resistance to protect you when it counts, all while feeling as if you’re wearing a barely-there second skin.
3. Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport Flame-Resistant Balaclava
An essential under-the-helmet layer. But this isn’t just a regular balaclava; Chillout Motorsports underwear has been engineered with the same advanced PCM tech, creating an airflow channel around your head that keeps things cool and dry.
The fabric is lightweight and breathable, ensuring that the dreaded “helmet sweat” is a thing of the past. With a snug, ergonomic fit and flat seams, it sits comfortably under your helmet without bunching. And like the rest of the Pro Sport line, it meets the FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3 standards for flame resistance, giving you both comfort and confidence.
4. Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport Flame-Resistant Socks
Finally, let’s talk about the often-overlooked but crucial socks. When you’re strapped in for a long stint, your feet can become uncomfortably hot, which isn’t ideal when precision matters.
The Pro Sport socks feature PCM technology to keep your feet at an ideal temperature, absorbing heat and keeping moisture under control, so you’re not dealing with that sticky, uncomfortable feeling. The ergonomic fit and ultra-flat seams keep them secure and comfortable inside your boots, while the FIA 8856-2018 approval guarantees that you’re getting essential flame-resistant protection from head to toe.

The Story Behind Chillout Motorsports and the Pro Sport Range: Built for Racers, by Racers
Chillout Motorsports isn’t your average gear manufacturer. The company was born out of a genuine love for motorsports and an intimate understanding of the challenges racers face. Founded by a team deeply embedded in the racing world, Chillout Motorsports knows firsthand what it’s like to handle the relentless heat, the intense focus, and the physical demands of the track. They’ve been there, felt the challenges, and they’re dedicated to creating solutions that actually make a difference.
The Pro Sport range of racing underwear came to life because Chillout Motorsports identified a clear gap in the market. Traditional racing underwear often feels bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable—qualities that can be distracting and downright frustrating in a high-stakes environment. Determined to change this, the Chillout team asked themselves: What would the ideal racewear look like for performance and comfort?
From that question, the Pro Sport range was born. Designed to support drivers, not hinder them, this gear combines essential flame resistance with advanced technologies for temperature regulation and moisture control. The Pro Sport pieces incorporate Phase Changing Materials (PCMs) that actively respond to body heat, absorbing and releasing warmth to maintain a stable temperature, no matter how intense the race gets. Alongside this, the lightweight, breathable fabrics ensure that drivers stay dry, comfortable, and focused.
But what sets Chillout Motorsports apart is their obsessive attention to detail. Every piece in the Pro Sport range has undergone rigorous testing and refinement, crafted to withstand the unique demands of motorsport. Each product is built to be as performance-driven as the cars racers drive—lightweight, responsive, and utterly reliable under high-speed, high-temperature conditions.
When you wear the Pro Sport top, bottoms, balaclava, or socks, you’re not just putting on base layers. You’re equipping yourself with gear designed by racers, for racers, with the kind of precision and care that’s put into every high-performance vehicle. This is gear you can trust to keep you sharp, comfortable, and safe, letting you push harder, stay cooler, and perform at your absolute best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Now you’ve been briefed on everything there is to know about the Chillout Motorsports Pro Sport range of underwear, we’re sure you have some questions. We have picked out some of the most asked questions we get surrounding these products, so you can go away with the confidence you know everything you need to:
1. What exactly is PCM technology, and how does it help me on the track?
PCM, or Phase Changing Materials, are cutting-edge materials that absorb, store, and release heat based on your body’s temperature. In the intense environment of a race car cockpit, PCMs regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool when you’re overheating and helping you stay focused.
2. What’s the approval rating? Is the Pro Sport range flame-resistant?
Absolutely. Each item in the Pro Sport range is made with flame-resistant materials and is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and the tops, bottoms and balaclava are also approved to SFI 3.3 standard, ensuring it meets the highest safety levels in motorsports. This means you’re fully protected against fire hazards, which is essential in high-stakes racing situations.
3. How does this gear compare to traditional racing underwear?
Traditional racing underwear often lacks advanced temperature control and can feel heavy or restrictive. The Pro Sport range, however, integrates PCM technology for superior temperature regulation and uses lightweight, breathable materials. This makes it a more comfortable, high-performance option designed to help you perform at your peak.
4. Will this gear fit under my racing suit without bunching?
Yes, each item in the Pro Sport range is designed with an ergonomic fit and flat-lock seams. This reduces bulk and ensures the gear fits comfortably under your race suit without bunching or causing irritation, so you can move freely.
5. What size should I get? Is there a specific fit for racing?
We recommend choosing your typical size as each piece is made to fit snugly without restricting movement. If you’re between sizes or prefer a tighter fit for additional support, consider sizing down. Check out our size guide for detailed measurements to ensure you get the best fit.
6. How do I care for my Pro Sport gear? Is it machine-washable?
Yes, the Chillout Motorsports underwear can be machine-washed on a gentle cool wash cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can reduce the effectiveness of the flame-resistant materials and moisture-wicking properties. Always air dry to maintain the integrity of the PCM technology, it is not recommended to tumble dried as it reduces the longevity of the PCM’s.
7. Is the Pro Sport range suitable for other sports or activities?
While it’s designed with motorsports in mind, the Pro Sport underwear range’s cooling and moisture-wicking features make it a great option for any high-intensity, high-heat activity where you need both comfort and protection. However, it’s optimised for racing-specific environments.
8. How long will the PCM technology last? Does it lose effectiveness over time?
PCM technology is durable and designed to maintain its properties for long-term use. With proper care, the Pro Sport range will continue to provide temperature regulation and comfort for 50 washes, and typically the PCM technology lasts for 2 hours, then it loses its full effect. It then needs to cool down and recharge its PCM properties in a cool environment in an AC room for an hour or fridge for 10 mins.
