Description
The Simpson Cruiser 2.0 Helmet is the premier choice for drivers who demand professional-grade safety without the restriction of a full-face design. Featuring classic styling popularized in NASCAR pits and local short tracks, the Cruiser 2.0 offers an open-face configuration that provides a wide field of view and excellent airflow. This White, Large (59-60cm) model is specifically engineered for high-performance driving environments where communication and visibility are paramount, such as autocross, track days, and driving school applications.
Updated for the latest safety cycle, the Cruiser 2.0 meets the rigorous Snell SA2020 standards.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The Simpson Cruiser 2.0 is a precision-engineered safety device. The Snell Foundation recommends replacing your racing helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture, as the internal EPS liner can harden and the protective resins can degrade over time. To maintain the white finish, clean the shell using only mild soap and water with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid petroleum-based cleaners which can compromise the shell’s integrity. Always ensure your chin strap is properly tensioned and the helmet is securely positioned before engaging in high-speed maneuvers. Verify specific safety requirements with your sanctioning body (SCCA, NASA, etc.) to ensure compliance for your specific event.
