Description
The Simpson Hybrid Youth Sport provides the next generation of racers with the same high-performance safety technology used by professionals. This "Child" version is specifically scaled 25% smaller than adult models, ensuring a precise fit for junior drivers as young as four years old.
Constructed from advanced DuPont carbon/polymer, this device is 20% lighter than previous iterations. For a child, this weight reduction is a vital safety feature, as it significantly lowers the physical burden on the neck and shoulders during high-G cornering and impacts.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the continued safety of your junior racer, inspect the Hybrid Youth Sport before every session for hairline cracks, fraying tethers, or hardware damage. Clean the composite frame with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Store the device in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV rays. As junior drivers grow quickly, periodically verify that the device still fits correctly on the driver’s shoulders. SFI 38.1 devices require recertification every five years; check the manufacturing date on the SFI tag to ensure your gear remains compliant.
