Description
The Simpson Helix Racing Suit is a flagship model within the DNA strand of high-performance racing products. Engineered specifically for the competitive athlete, the Helix is designed to bridge the gap between maximum protection and total freedom of movement. Every feature is meticulously crafted to reduce weight and eliminate the physical restrictions that can hinder a driver’s reaction time.
Constructed from industry-leading DuPont™ Nomex® fabric, the Helix offers a technical, athletic fit. The Black and Gray colorway delivers a sleek, modern look that matches the advanced performance-enhancing features built into every layer.
Elite Protection & DNA Engineering
-
SFI 3.2A/5 Certified: Provides the high-level thermal protection required for sanctioned racing, ensuring safety is never compromised for speed.
-
DuPont™ Nomex® Fabric: Premium flame-resistant materials provide a lightweight, breathable, and exceptionally durable barrier against heat.
-
DNA High-Performance Design: Part of Simpson’s elite DNA line, this suit focuses on "athletic" ergonomics—meaning less bulk and more agility for the driver.
Advanced Ergonomics & Fluidity
The Helix is defined by its comprehensive stretch and relief systems, designed to move with the driver's body:
-
270-Degree Arm & Back Gussets: Full-motion gussets around the shoulders and across the back allow for a complete range of motion, ensuring zero resistance when reaching for the steering wheel or gear lever.
-
Targeted Stretch Zones: Integrated panels at the knees and inner thighs prevent bunching and binding during rapid pedal transitions.
-
Lower Back Stress Relief: A specialized panel at the lower back alleviates tension on the garment when in a seated position, increasing comfort during long endurance stints.
Climate Control & Weight Optimization
-
Upper Back Ventilation Port: Strategically placed to allow heat to escape the suit, helping to regulate core body temperature during intense competition.
-
Weight-Saving Patch Pockets: Features "no bulk" pockets that lay completely flush against the suit, reducing material overlap and overall mass.
-
Embroidered Detailing: Professional trim and logos are high-quality embroidery rather than heavy patches, maintaining a lightweight, professional aesthetic.
-
Size: 2X-Large (XXL).

Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the athletic fit and flame-retardant integrity of the DuPont™ Nomex®, it is recommended to dry clean the Helix suit or wash it on a delicate cycle with a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the suit's protective fibers. Always inspect the stretch panels and seams for signs of wear, fraying, or fuel saturation prior to every event.
