Question Fireproof underwear price vs comfort

Do you have any advice for what to look for when buying my first set of fireproof underwear? There are no racing shops here, so I will need to order online. As such, I'm unable to check out the differences in quality and fit before buying.

I'm wondering what the differences in price and fabric entail. I won't use it much, so looking to save money, but I don't want to sacrifice too much comfort either. Are different fabrics warmer than others? I'm in Norway, so the temperature wont go above 28C/80F, but staying cool is always nice.

I need it to be FIA certified and as such I assume the level of fire protection will be similar across brands and price points. Where should I "level up" and where can I focus more on price? I'm thinking socks and balaclava can be affordable, while spending slightly more on trousers and tops may be worth it.
