Description
The Simpson Racing Hybrid Pro Lite represents the absolute pinnacle of head and neck restraint technology. Engineered for professional-level competition, this device combines an ultra-lightweight design with the immense structural integrity of high-quality carbon fiber. It is specifically designed for drivers who demand maximum maneuverability and comfort without compromising a single millimeter of safety.
This model comes equipped with the M61 Quick Release and Dual End Tether Kit. This advanced tethering system is the preferred choice for drivers requiring an instantaneous, one-motion disconnect from the helmet—a vital feature for emergency vehicle egress and rapid pit operations.
Elite-Level Engineering & Certification
-
Dual Certification: Fully SFI 38.1 certified and FIA 8858-2010 approved, making it eligible for competition in nearly every professional racing series worldwide.
-
Pure Carbon Fiber Construction: Hand-crafted from premium carbon fiber, the Pro Lite offers significant weight savings over polymer models, drastically reducing neck fatigue during endurance events.
-
Multiple Load Paths: Meticulously engineered to dissipate head loads through several structural paths, reducing the impact forces transferred to the neck and spine during a crash.
-
Continuous Protection: Unlike traditional HANS-style devices that require seatbelt tension to remain effective, the Hybrid Pro Lite stays securely positioned against the driver. This ensures consistent protection during multiple impacts, side-load scenarios, and rollovers.
Performance & Ergonomics
-
Multi-Tether System: The sliding tether system provides an enhanced range of side-to-side head movement. This allows for a more natural field of vision, crucial for technical cornering and mirror checks.
-
Lowest Profile in Class: The sleek, modern design "disappears" into the racing seat. Its ultra-slim profile ensures that the driver can exit the car quickly without the danger of becoming entangled in window nets or roll bars.
-
Seatbelt Containment: Features defined "wings" that guide the harness straps, keeping them securely positioned on the device even during extreme maneuvers.
-
Size: Large.
Enhanced Coverage Options
-
SAS (Seatbelt Anchor System) Compatible: This device supports the optional patented SAS system. When equipped, it provides even greater stability and coverage during extreme flips, barrel rolls, and high-G side impacts.
-
Race Ready: Your Hybrid Pro Lite ships fully assembled and ready for the track, including the M61 Quick Release hardware and Dual End tethers.

Care & Maintenance
To maintain the integrity of your carbon fiber safety equipment, inspect the device before every race for any signs of delamination, cracks, or hardware wear. Ensure that the tethers are free of frays and the M61 quick-release mechanism operates smoothly. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the resin finish. Note that SFI 38.1 devices require recertification every five years. Always refer to the manufacturing date on your SFI/FIA tags to ensure your equipment remains compliant with technical inspections.
