Description
The Simpson Racing Contoured Carbon Helmet Skirt is a critical safety upgrade for professional racers seeking maximum thermal protection and comfort. Specifically engineered with a contoured design, this skirt provides a superior fit that follows the natural lines of the shoulders and chest, reducing material bunching and ensuring a more consistent seal against the elements. Constructed from high-performance dual-layer CarbonX fleece, this skirt offers exceptional fire resistance while remaining soft and comfortable against the skin.
This helmet skirt is designed to be attached to the base of your racing helmet, creating a flame-resistant barrier that helps prevent fire and heat from entering the helmet environment. Whether you are competing in drag racing, circle track, or road course events, the CarbonX material provides the peace of mind needed to stay focused on the track.

Installation & Maintenance Information
To ensure maximum effectiveness, the Simpson Contoured Helmet Skirt should be securely attached to the helmet using high-strength adhesive hook-and-loop strips (sold separately). For maintenance, it is recommended to hand wash the skirt with a mild, fire-retardant-safe detergent and air dry; avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the protective properties of the CarbonX fibers. Regularly inspect the skirt for any signs of wear, fraying, or contamination from fuel and oil. Always verify with your specific sanctioning body's rulebook to ensure your fire safety equipment meets current class requirements.
