Description
The Simpson Smoke Replacement Shield is the essential upgrade for racers facing bright, daytime track conditions. Specifically engineered for the Bandit, Super Bandit, Carbon Bandit, and Drag Bandit series, this dark-tinted visor is designed to provide consistent glare reduction without the high reflectivity of a mirrored finish. By filtering out harsh sunlight, the Smoke shield helps prevent eye fatigue and allows you to maintain sharp focus on your racing line, apexes, and track signals.
This shield is a versatile "all-rounder" for daytime motorsports. Whether you are navigating a road course in the mid-day sun or staging at the drag strip, the neutral smoke tint provides a natural color balance that keeps track features clear and defined. It is a must-have component for any serious racer's gear bag.

Maintenance & Care Information
To maintain the clarity and lifespan of your Simpson Smoke 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, as these can cause micro-scratches that lead to "haloing" under bright lights. When your helmet is not in use, store it in a protective bag to prevent surface damage from other equipment in your gear bag. Always ensure the shield is properly seated and the pivot screws are secure before entering the track to ensure optimal safety and aerodynamics.
