Description
The Simpson Racing Hybrid Sport with SAS is the premier safety choice for drivers who prioritize stability and multi-impact protection. This "Large" model is crafted from a specialized DuPont carbon/polymer composite, offering a lightweight design that doesn't compromise on superior structural strength.
This specific configuration includes the Seatbelt Anchor System (SAS). The SAS provides a secondary tethering point to the vehicle's harness system, ensuring the device remains securely in place during the most complex accident scenarios, such as barrel rolls, flips, and side impacts.
Advanced Engineering & Safety
-
SFI 38.1 Certified: Fully compliant with the rigorous safety standards required by major racing sanctioning bodies for frontal head restraints.
-
Seatbelt Anchor System (SAS): This integrated system provides additional coverage, keeping the device properly positioned against the body even when subjected to multi-directional forces.
-
Continuous Protection: Unlike traditional frontal head restraints that rely solely on seatbelt tension, the Hybrid design stays with the driver, offering a consistent safety envelope throughout the entire duration of an impact event.
-
Post Anchor (PA) Tether Kit: Equipped with high-strength Post Anchor tethers, providing a secure and reliable mechanical connection to your helmet’s post anchors.
Ergonomics & Driver Comfort
-
Low Profile Design: The slim, sleek frame is engineered to "disappear" into the racing seat. This eliminates the discomfort of bulky hardware and ensures the device won't catch on roll bars or window nets during vehicle exit.
-
Lightweight Composite: By utilizing DuPont's advanced carbon-polymer technology, Simpson has reduced the weight of the device to minimize driver fatigue during long endurance stints.
-
Maximum Maneuverability: The tether system is optimized to provide the necessary side-to-side head movement needed to check mirrors and navigate corners without compromising vertical restraint.
-
Size: Adult Large.
Performance Engineering
-
Race Ready: The Hybrid Sport ships fully assembled and includes all necessary Post Anchor hardware and SAS tethers to get you track-ready immediately.
-
Multiple Load Paths: The internal structure is designed to dissipate head loads through multiple paths, significantly reducing the concentrated stress on the neck and spine during an impact.
-
Defined Belt Wings: The modern profile includes defined wings that act as guides for the seatbelts, ensuring your harnesses stay properly contained on the device.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the long-term integrity of your Hybrid Sport, inspect the device before every race for any signs of hairline cracks, hardware damage, or fraying tethers. Clean the composite frame with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the polymer. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Note that SFI 38.1 devices require recertification every five years; check the manufacturing date on your SFI tag to ensure your gear remains compliant with your track or series regulations.
