Description
The Simpson Amber Replacement Shield is a specialized optical tool designed to enhance track definition when conditions are less than ideal. Specifically engineered for the Bandit, Super Bandit, and Drag Bandit series, this shield features a minimal amber tint that is strategically formulated to filter out specific light frequencies. This process increases contrast and depth perception, making it the premier choice for racers navigating the track during overcast weather or in flat-light environments.
By filtering blue light, the Amber shield helps the driver distinguish between subtle track textures, elevation changes, and debris that might be "washed out" under gray skies. Whether you are running a road course on a cloudy afternoon or competing on a dirt track with shifting light, this shield ensures you maintain the visual edge needed to stay competitive.

Maintenance & Care Information
To maintain the high-contrast clarity of your Simpson Amber Shield, clean it only with a soft microfiber cloth and specialized helmet shield cleaners or mild soap and water. Avoid using ammonia-based glass cleaners or abrasive paper towels, which can create micro-scratches that cause visual distortion. When not in use, store your helmet in a soft protective bag to prevent contact with other equipment. Always confirm the shield is properly seated and the pivot mechanism is secure before entering the track to ensure maximum safety and aerodynamic stability.
