There is no process in which a manufacturer "recertifies" a belt. G-FORCE Racing Gear does offer a rewebbing process for a fee. This process entails a complete inspection and replacement of all webbing as well as replacement or worn components. G-FORCE Racing Gear can only reweb G-FORCE Racing Gear harnesses. Per the SFI Foundation rules, only the original manufacturer has the authority to perform work or to reweb harness systems. The details of this program can be found here.

In order to keep G-FORCE Racing Gear costs as low as possible, harness sets are sold in complete kits only.

The best advice for a customer is to try on a helmet for fit. A measurement chart for helmet sizing can be found here. This chart can only get a user close to the size they may need. As a user, you want the helmet to fit as tightly as possible without causing discomfort. Keep in mind, a helmet will break in with use.

Patchwork can be added using cotton threads as long at the integrity of the suit is not compromised. Testing has proven that the small amount of cotton thread will burn off and fall away relatively quickly in a flash fire. Embroidery should be completed during construction but applying embroidery to an off the shelf suit is commonplace to the racing market. To preserve the performance of the suit you should only apply small sections of embroidery and use Nomex® thread when possible. If using cotton thread, the embroidery must be tightly sewn in order to remain intact in the event of a fire.

When in doubt, mild soap and water will work with most any product. As for racing suits, wash in cold water and hang to dry. Some manufacturers recommend dry cleaning but to be sure of the chemicals used, you should wash at home. With helmets a damp cloth and mild soap used to blot the inside of the liner will help remove any built up residue. Belts are susceptible to sunlight and water will speed up the aging process. Be sure to remove or cover belts when washing the inside of a racing vehicle.
