Description
The Simpson Racing Nomex Helmet Skirt in Large is a vital safety component for drivers who require a reliable barrier against both thermal hazards and track-side contaminants. Built with high-performance dual-layer Nomex, this skirt is specifically designed to bridge the gap between the helmet and the racing suit. Its primary mission is twofold: providing an extra layer of flame-retardant protection and effectively sealing the helmet environment against intrusive dust, dirt, and rubber debris.
This Large model ensures a comfortable fit and ample coverage for larger helmet shells, making it a favorite for drivers in disciplines ranging from dirt track racing to high-speed drag events. By keeping the air inside your helmet clear of debris, the Simpson Nomex skirt allows you to maintain peak focus and respiratory comfort throughout the heat of competition.

Installation & Maintenance Information
For maximum safety and effectiveness, the Simpson Nomex Helmet Skirt should be installed using the Speedfit system to ensure a full 360-degree seal around the helmet’s base. To maintain the protective properties of the Nomex fibers, hand wash the skirt with a mild, fire-retardant-safe detergent and air dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the material’s performance and damage the SFI tag. Regularly inspect the skirt for any signs of fraying, tears, or saturation from fuel and oils. Always check your specific sanctioning body's rulebook to ensure your gear meets the current safety requirements for your class.
