Description
The Simpson Helix Racing Suit is a premier entry in the DNA strand of high-performance racing products. Engineered for the athlete behind the wheel, the Helix is designed with a specific focus on weight reduction and the elimination of driver restrictions. By integrating advanced stretch zones and ventilation, this suit allows you to focus entirely on your line, not your gear.
Crafted from specialized DuPont™ Nomex® fabric, the Helix offers a technical, athletic fit that moves with the driver. The Black and Gray colorway provides a sharp, modern aesthetic that reflects the high-tech engineering within the suit.

Care & Safety Maintenance
To preserve the performance-enhancing features and flame-retardant integrity of the DuPont™ Nomex®, it is recommended to dry clean the Helix suit or wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, non-detergent soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the suit's protective capabilities. Always inspect the stretch panels and seams for wear or fuel contamination before heading to the grid.
