Each fluid muscle extends from the shoulder to the ankle. Two fluid muscles – each filled with approximately 1 litre of fluid for a total of around 4 litres (1.1&#160;US&#160;gal) per g-race suit – are routed vertically on the front side of the g-race suit and two are routed vertically on the rear side of the g-race suit. The suit weighs on average 6.5 kilograms (14&#160;lb) in total, and its fabric is made out of a special mix of <a href="/wiki/Twaron" title="Twaron">Twaron</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nomex" title="Nomex">Nomex</a>. The counter pressure effect occurs instantaneously without any time delay versus an up to two second delay before reaching full system protection in standard pneumatic, inflatable g-suits. The race pilot utilizes the g-race suit interactively by muscle straining and breathing techniques to achieve an improved <a href="/wiki/Cardiac_output" title="Cardiac output">cardiac output</a> and thus improved G-protection.<sup id="cite_ref-g-race_suit_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-g-race_suit-26"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>26<span
