Description
Enhance your performance and style with the Simpson Iridium Replacement Shield, specifically designed for the Bandit, Super Bandit, and Drag Bandit series helmets. This high-performance visor is the premier choice for professional racers and enthusiasts who demand the highest level of optical protection. While standard tints offer basic light reduction, the Iridium coating provides a specialized multi-layer finish that delivers the most comprehensive defense against both direct sunlight and harsh track glare.
The Simpson Iridium shield is engineered for daytime driving in bright, high-intensity conditions. By reflecting a significant portion of incoming light, it reduces eye fatigue and allows you to maintain focus on the apex or the Christmas tree without the distraction of squinting. Beyond its functional benefits, the Iridium finish adds a sleek, modern aesthetic to your classic Bandit silhouette.

Maintenance & Care Information
To preserve the specialized Iridium coating, it is vital to clean the shield properly. Use only a soft microfiber cloth and specialized helmet shield cleaners or mild soap and water. Avoid using ammonia-based glass cleaners or abrasive paper towels, as these can scratch or strip the Iridium layer. When not in use, store your helmet in a soft bag to prevent surface contact with other gear. Always verify that your shield is securely locked into the pivot system before entering the track to ensure maximum safety and aerodynamic performance.
