Description
The Simpson Racing Standard Carbon Helmet Skirt is a high-performance safety essential designed for racers who prioritize maximum thermal protection. This Standard cut model provides a classic, reliable fit around the base of the helmet, creating a critical flame-resistant barrier. Constructed from dual-layer CarbonX fleece, this skirt offers industry-leading heat and flame resistance while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel against the driver’s neck and head.
By sealing the gap between the helmet and the racing suit, the CarbonX skirt not only protects against fire but also helps block out intrusive track dust and debris. Whether you are at the drag strip or on a dirt track, this skirt is a vital component in your safety arsenal, providing the peace of mind needed to focus on the finish line.
Advanced Material Science
-
CarbonX Fleece: This advanced material is inherently flame-resistant and will not burn, melt, or ignite even when exposed to direct flame or extreme temperatures.
-
Dual-Layer Protection: The two-layer construction creates a significant thermal buffer, increasing the Time to Second Degree Burn (TPP) and providing extra seconds of critical protection.

Installation & Maintenance Information
The Simpson Standard Carbon Helmet Skirt should be securely attached to the bottom of your helmet using high-strength adhesive hook-and-loop strips (sold separately) to ensure a full 360-degree seal. For maintenance, it is recommended to hand wash the skirt with a mild, fire-retardant-safe detergent and air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the protective properties of the CarbonX fibers and damage the SFI tag. Regularly inspect the skirt for any signs of wear, tears, or contamination from fuel and lubricants. Always check your sanctioning body's rulebook to ensure your equipment meets the current safety requirements for your class.
