What should marshals wear and bring?

Clothing (GCR 171):

• Orange is recommended (for example Pantone 151C). Anything worn with it, such as jeans, must not clash with any flag colour used on the circuit.
• Clothing should mainly be natural fibre such as cotton, with a high degree of fire retardance.
• Raincoats should also be orange.

MSA's Guide to Volunteering suggests bringing, for all weather:

• sunglasses or safety glasses with plastic lenses, sunscreen and a hat;
• long sleeves and long trousers if you are not in overalls;
• waterproof footwear, ideally comfortable leather boots (nylon can melt in a fire);
• leather gloves for trackside marshals;
• a rain jacket, waterproof gloves, spare socks and shirt, a small towel;
• task-specific gear such as balaclavas for fire marshals;
• extra water and food, a small stool and a refuse bag for your kit.
