We Bought Dangerous 1-Star Car Safety Products
We bought the worst reviewed car safety products we could find, then James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe put them to the test to see if this gear is as bad as people say. Should you really buy a $60 racing suit from Wish.com? Let’s find out. This is the D-List!
Also, we’re not scientists! But we encourage you to never cheap out on safety products.

Imagine being on the plane, looking down, seeing them torch a guy 😂
69 likes Imma ruin it
That was a missed opportunity to cut to James alter ego looking out of the plane lol
Good point🤣
They are in L.A. so "anything is possible", lol
Yes i imaged it now
Down with the bourgeois, the suit said “Jeep Lover”.
The hero we needed!
Looked for this comment for so long 😭
Do you do cocaine?
@@yddishmcsquidish3904 what does that have to do with anything 🤔
Why is that inappropriate?
I had a traumatic brain injury four years ago that almost killed and boy was James close too when he said, "I'd rather not be able to sleep for a little while than sleep forever." Cause that shit is funny and true AF!!
I had some head injuries in 2019 from fights. They really suck
@@Dovahkings No these were from people attacking me in public. One person on two separate occasions and one was random. It wasn't a boxing match or something
Yeah, there is a fine line between the two. A millimeter one direction or another could mean life or death, so can a few dollars in cost. However, expensive doesn't always mean good. Check reviews and certifications, of course.
I love how they have “safety goggles” but aren’t even wearing them 😂😂😂😂 these guys are the best, always make me laugh
Forehead protection
The Jetta still got beans in the exhaust 😂
4 years later: Yep, still got beans in the exhaust lol
It's German diarrhea AKA Durchfall
Give it the beans!
you can never escape the beans
hell yea it does lol so give it the beans
Me and my friends accidentally lit up a gas can while trying to make our bonfire bigger. My buddy's dad put one of those fire blankets on it before it exploded and all that happened was a small pop and some black smoke. Those things are surprisingly crazy effective.
My gran kept one in her kitchen, very useful thing and definitely value for money
Yeah they are we had to use one in the science lab at school one time
An open gas container can't explode....
Damn y’all got lucky he was there to save u, ik someone with nasty burns from a similar event
@@antknee420 opened gas container will burst of 10 to 20 feet of flame from air. Lol
Was laughing until the "Sparco" fire suit, that thing scared me. How the hell is that legally available ?!!
China
It burns the exact same as any normal polyester clothes, the T-shirt you're probably wearing right now would offer about the same levels of lack of protection and melted plastic on skin. If you want to cosplay your favourite race driver on Halloween but don't want to spend big cash on a proper fireproof race suit (which also has a very pungent smell), you can get that and do some logo embroidery. If you try to race in it, you'll get tossed immediately since it has no certification.
@@TheLaXandro the listing should hopefully word the description as such in that case to make it clear its just a dress up costume and in no way a real suit, hopefully. But its wish, so my breath is not held.
Wish just cares about money. As long as you pay before you burn to death in a fire, they're happy.
It’s not, but fake products pop up faster than law enforcement can bring them down; and even if they could, would you rather cops spend their time chasing counterfeits being sold on a notoriously bad website or tracking down predators and the like?
FYI for the helmet thing for new riders. Check the clearance section of your preferred gear store, especially at the end and beginning of the year. I've purchased Scorpion and Arai helmets for as low as $60. The helmet that spared me during my accident was $55, you can get a good helmet from a trusted manufacturer without breaking the bank as long as you're not picky about style. Same for other gear. My first jacket was originally $400, I got it on sale for $80 and it lasted me 4 years through rain and shine.
Was totally expecting a light tap and a bs endorsement, but then he just floored it into that poor truck, bean filled exhaust and all LMFAO.
the best part it bent the door aswell. dedication, goddamn. i aint fixing that
Why would they endorse 1 star rated products...
@@thesoundmajors9858 Sometimes the stuff they buy is decent and they're surprised by it. Make sense now? I can walk you through whatever else you need. It's np 👍
He really did give it the beans huh
With the fire suit, anything that says “fashion” in the description, is a sure fire way to tell it’s not meant to be used in that scenario
Nothing on that site is usable tbh.
@@Gl-my8fw yeah, that suit is like using a sheet of paper as body armour.
Sure fire way budim ksh
To even try and sell that should be downright criminal
sure *fire*
The fact that you can get open face dot helmets for motorcycles should let everyone know how bad the dot's standards are 😅. Always buy Snell or ece approved helmets
They give you a free DOT sticker when you buy a cheap plastic skull cap at bike shops. The DOT standard is fine - its meant for cranial protection against road impact. Though I agree Snell is always going to be better.
@@gunmnky DOT ain't worth shit tbh, MAYBE in a racecar if that's all you have but that's it. Motorbike helmets need to be softer than race car helmets due to multiple possible smaller hits on multiple spots rather than one or two big hits on the same spot, and even in a racecar I wouldn't trust DOT, let alone on a motorbike. SNELL or FIA for cars, ECE or FIM for motorbikes. DOT is only better than having nothing or a cap, or maybe a bicycle helmet, but that's it. Sure FIM is expensive as shit but that's literally the only certification that's allowed in MotoGP. If it's good enough for MotoGP, it's good enough for any biker.
DOT*
These items are just great for my 8nm motion platform sim racing kit. I used to put a can of razor foam under the seat as a fire extinguisher but you guys definitely showed me the way to go for some pretty serious upgrades. I appreciate.
Amazon sellers: "we need a name for this product...." Marketing team: ".....(slams head on keyboard)...there you go"
They add as many words as possible so it's more likely to show up when you search it.
"An SEO expert walks into a bar, bars, pub, tavern, public house, Irish pub, drinks, beer, alcohol"
@@timm5362 I know and I hate it.
More like: Marketing team:: Just copy and paste the tags
I've seen "brand names" like peepee and pepe and even owo and uwu. They just make stuff up and run with it.
James: This is a serious safety test. Also James: (Doesn't wear safety glasses while operating a flame thrower)
It's fire v plastic..
He definitely wore them, just not on his eyes.
Why would he?
They might have been safety glasses from Wish, and spontaneously exploded.
What’s the flame gonna do turn around and hit him in the eyes? Lol
Man, Sparco should sue the hell out of those people using their name like that. Absolutely shameless, and extremely dangerous. Especially dangerous to sell a safety product of that kind of importance knowing its horrible. I definitely wouldn't want something like that using my companies name.
If it's coming out of China and it is, They literally can't. China has almost no copyright or trademark protection laws, aside from a very few exceptions that were only granted to convince foreign investors to come into China. As an example check out the Chinese windrunner vehicles. It's literally just a knock off range Rover to the point where if you debadge a windrunner and put range Rover badging on there until you actually get into the vehicle you would know that it's a copy.
Good luck suing Chinese manufacturers, as a communist state most businesses are partially owned by the Government and as such are nearly impossible to sue from the outside making them basically immune to copyright laws.

Congrats on 6M subscribers! You guys deserve them for the insanely good content on this channel!
Now I want them to flamethrower a real race suit haha
Grosjean says hi
Grosjean's 2020 F1 Crash shows the importance of a real race suit kzhead.info/sun/ar2GmttqqpyOpI0/bejne.html&ab_channel=StillWatchingNetflix
There’s plenty of videos, a FIA race suit must withstand 20-30 seconds before it starts to slow burn for each layer
@@daltonv5206 🔥🔥
Nomex is no joke. It's really tougher than the person inside can be insulated from the heat.
Guys I have laughed at many a Donut show, but I about shit myself laughing when you brought out the “flammable” suit 😂😂😂 excellent quote from The GM of Sparco.
Always look forward to the D-list thanks gentlemen keep it up!
Congratulations on hitting 6M subs guys! Happy to be a part of it!
Nolan’s glasses sound effect always makes me chuckle
top tier editing
Can we all actually just appreciate Jobe's hair? Like God damn
Funny, I just cut off 12 inches from mine... lol Merry Christmas
All the glasses look great on you Nolan, I think the squarer frames suit you best, but that could be because that's been what you've had in most episodes I think
Yeah true
Love the testing vids, keep em coming
James' little "I love you" at the end of each video always gives me the warm fuzzies in my chest. We love you too, James.
You should see a pulmonologist just to be safe.
My prostate is enlarged
Nolan, I think glasses number 5 kind of fit your retro car aesthetic! James, make sure you're taking care of yourself, the world needs you!
Team #5 let's goooo!
Love these videos please also review best sellers on amazon once in a while!
This is my favorite duo you guys together are the best to watch!!!!
8:21 this whole scene got me cracking up and it’s produced pretty good
0:33 someone needs to make him some glasses that actually do that
yeah, every time that sound effect makes me laugh
Wym? They do
The best car channel on KZhead fr I love literally ever single video y'all make merry Christmas
Yo, congrats on 6 million guys!!!! Well deserved. Thanks for the quality content.
My favorite channel to watch. I love getting the notifications.
I was like you once now I have watched literally every single one of your videos you will not be disappointed, I also recommend the podcast Its better in my opinion
What are you going to do bout window!
Ok...
Go outside find something real to love
One of the few i have on.
Y'all should do a Past Gas on the beginning of Donut Media. I'd line to hear this channel's origin story!
Lana: Who would want an on fire suit?! Archer: Cosplay enthusiasts
A fire blanket actually saved my house from burning up. A lighter exploded in a bowl of other lighters big ass fire but since it was in the bowl it was easy to put out with the blanket.
but never remove it like they did, pick up a cover away from you. because when air rushes in the fire could re-ignite and burn your face, arm, body.
@@EliseType72 fire does some weird stuff people don't often expect. Smoke explosions come to mind as a fairly strange event
8:29 Lmao "take care of your tools" I felt that.
Need links to the Wish goodies. That racing suit is 🔥
OML🤣
Literally
Being the cameraman for this channel must rock so hard! These dudes are hilarious
At 8:04 you can see someone in the background accidentally walking through the set lol
Donut media should make their own Top Gear style show. I'd watch the shit outta that.
@@yukie_________6672 go away
0:34: they paid you to advertise glasses but shipped you the cheapest possible lenses? Those things are mirrors!
I freaking loveeee how James ran into the shop to get the fire blanket. His little run was awesome 👌 hahaha
I love that listening to their podcast I'd like being given hints of what shows they're gonna release
Congrats on 6 Mil!!! ❤️ Keep doing what you guys have been doing and don’t stop! You’ve been a huge inspiration to all of your fans :D
@Sidu Kemial wtf dude these bots are kinda becoming self aware
Watching James spring into action sprinting into the garage for a fire blanket made my day - Merry Holidays
Honestly this video is amazing like super hilarious scenarios that will almost never happen and crazy weird actors or people testing stuff and bad products
I love every video that gets put out also 3,4 and 5 for the glasses for sure
This guys are crazy fun and informative as well. I am always looking forward to their post on a daily.
Istg the glasses reload might be my favorite part of this channel, and there's a LOT of good parts
I don’t even know how I ended up with this video on my screen but I always love a new donut vid merry Christmas guys🎄❤️
Those bumper guards work well if it's a flat surface and you dont slip and hammer your throttle like an old person. Great for inching in your LONG car up to pillars while in parking garages.
Merry Christmas Donut Crew, Love the channel, love the podcast, keep being amazing.
in Australia, the fire blankets are mandatory in all school class rooms etc etc, they are for people, not for engine bays etc
How often do people catch on fire in Australian schools?
The way that James ran in the fire blanket test, was the best thing I've seen lol
Warby Parker is amazing. I have the Hughes glasses and the Hatcher shades and they are just amazing
Merry Christmas donut crew, thanks for all you guys do! Hope y’all have a great holiday and get to spend some time with ya families.
what did the fire suit have written on it
@@fullmetal8518 I believe it says “Jeep Lover”
@@brooks07 yes it is cause they forgot to censor the first frame of the video... And there is is written "Jeep Lo..."
I live in estonia, we have the first product the glass breaker in most of the busses in case of emergency and also the fire blanket is used widely acroos the country. Usually they are bigger though. You approach the fire with it and lay it on there and maybe tighten the places close where the oxygen could enter
A fire extinguisher is best Bud Merry Christmas my Estonian Bro
Glass breaker is mandatory in all buses made after 2000. Fire blanket is used to protect ppl in evacuation situation
@@mateuszzimon8216 yes, but also you can use it to put put fire if the vlanket is big enough to cover something. I have had multiple drills on that part
Could you do a episode comparing the different ways to tint your tail lights, I've been wanting to tint mine but idk if I should use film or spray with clear coat
When I saw how thin that "firesuit" was I knew it wasn't any good LMAO Nomex suits are typically a bit thick & uncomfortable.
i am so happy i found this channel when i started getting into cars keep it up guys happy holidays
What's a car?
Would have nice if you could have talked the sparco guy into donating a real sparco suit to scienceish to see how it compared, even if it was just an older returned suit of something.
I expected that. Kind of a letdown
Not even new, i think they have old with outdated fia certification
What a great idea to test 1-star items. Really enjoyed this video!
I should point out that even though the melon didn't split in the quality helmet, 100g is enough for the impact to kill you. To only get a concussion it would have to be around 10g. So that test is too severe to determine any difference in the safety of the helmets.
Still at highlighted the fact that it did provide better protection
*CONGRATS ON 6 MILLION!*
Axis in WW2 be like:
Get the 2nd pair of glasses Nolan you look great :) keep it up king you dropped this👑
I love Zach & James videos. A great duo.
Love the video guys, happy holidays
Nolan - 5, 2, & 3 look better than the 1 & 4 to me. From there it's up to your taste.
That racing suit would be a perfect Halloween costume! Just hope your car doesn't catch on fire while trick-or-treating.
Congrats on 6 mil!!
I love my WPs. Been buying from them since April 2015. I’ve never regretted my purchase. Plus, they always take such good care of me!
11:07 damn the Jetta is bleeding
Can we get more James running please? That's the funniest thing you guys do
Even funnier, that is his real run.
I've landed on my head/shoulders in full race leathers after flying through the air for 10m or so on a bike. On the road, not dirt. I cracked a quite expensive helmet on the rear, the worst part you can hit on your head. Was a bit slow for a week or two but recovered fine and have no long term effects. Don't skimp on helmets. Even a $200 one is going to do a decent job. Beyond that you are paying for incremental safety improvements in design, or better visor etc, but most importantly. lightness and anti fog/comfort features that improve your safety passively. Lighter the helmet, the less energy your neck has to deal with. I'm glad I had a light helmet when I smacked my head that bad.. I've broken another, cheaper helmet and chipped/cracked teeth, slightly knocked jaw out for a bit (80mph, flying 20m+ this time..). BUT it still protected my brain, which is the most important part. Teeth can be fixed and your jaw goes back to normal in most cases. But your brain is not so easy to repair, look after it!
Merry Christmas Donut, hope you all have a great day and a happy new year :-)
10:39 3W? Whinnesota Whining and Whanufacturing?
You can use the racing suit as a "Niki Lauda" halloween costume.😁
Damn that's harsh
Love the banter.
Amazing Video as Always! Love from Sri Lanka!
I, too have bacon taped onto my chest like a normal human
James hope you’re ok, because you seem different than from the past videos… all the best buddy ❤️
You two are my favorite! Love you!
That glass smasher that was used first is legit the exact thing that is on all Sydney buses
Imagine buying a sparco fire suit on wish thinking it is genuine. I'd love to meet that person😂
Dang! I guess I should have bought the "anti" fire suit. 🔥🔥🤕

@@Dan24325 yeah they did one on the Hayabusa my bad it's been a while since i watched it
Things you can’t go cheap on: Toilet paper Any safety gear
I'm not normally a fan of the videos where you test out car gadgets. But this one had a lot of really funny jokes and made me laugh quite a bit, thumbs up from me 👍
The Sparco suit never claimed to be fire resistant and even says "fashion" meaning basically "this is to race car LARP your way to Cars and Coffee". It could also be meant for karting, which does not have flame retardant requirements and is just there so your clothes don't sling around and get caught in the chain/axle/etc. as well as to offer skid safety if you were to roll and fall out of the kart. Would've been nice to do an abrasion test before torching it to see if it at least could be used for karting.
Polyester/ nylon suit is no better than being naked sliding around the ground
@@marthamryglod291 I hate to tell you this, but Cordura, what all name brand karting suits are made of, is a nylon material. Motorcycle textile jackets are made from it, too. Tell us more of what you know nothing about.
The scenario for the fire suit shoulda been “you’re Romain Grosjean and you crash into a barrier at 119mph with 67g of force your car splits in half and a huge fireball erupts and you’re engulfed in flames”
I’m proud of y’all and the FU-shoot at the end of the second race was the best
Great idea on the episode topic
You can remove car headrests and use the pointy part of those metal things to break car windows
Not all cars.
@@netts2315 true
#2 and #5 looks great on you Nolan
I can't believe y'all didn't take the opportunity to show their testing facility and how a genuine suit worked so much better
At the drag strip and that one guy wearing that sassy sparco in the staging lanes👉😂. 🔥🔥
Curious what was written on that suit…
@@jamescontrino5099 actually?
