Description
The Simpson Racing Hybrid S is a breakthrough in automotive safety, standing as the only Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) proven effective for use with 3-point harnesses. While traditionally these devices required a full racing harness, the Hybrid S provides high-performance driving instructors, auto manufacturing test engineers, and track enthusiasts access to elite head and neck protection without requiring a 5-point system.
Third-party tested to FMVSS208 standards in partnership with Detroit auto manufacturers, the Hybrid S significantly reduces neck tension during impacts compared to using a helmet alone. Constructed from high-quality carbon fiber, the device features a low-profile design with no high back, ensuring you won't hook onto roll bars during an emergency exit. This unit arrives race-ready, equipped with Post Clip anchors and a front buckle attachment system that eliminates bulky straps for maximum comfort.
