## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this be used for motorcross?**
A: No, this is not for use in a motocross series as I understand. We use this for a go kart for 15+ optional equipment.

**Q: Are these child sizes or adult sizes?**
A: Adult

**Q: Is this SFI specification 20.1**
A: I would have to get it out and look at the tag. I wore it all last season, and had no issues, but didn't have any crashes. The shoulder straps are very easy to adjust to size, and you can fit it over your driving suit without an issue.

**Q: Que talla es un niño de 8 años delgado?**
A: My son is 9, almost 10.  52in height, 58 lbs.  XS fit him, a bit large though.  So probably too large for your 8yo
