Safety & Maintenance Information
The Simpson Super Bandit is a high-performance safety instrument. To maintain the integrity of the energy-absorbing EPS liner, the Snell Foundation recommends replacing your helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture. To preserve the vibrant Red finish, clean the shell using only mild soap and water with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid solvents or petroleum-based cleaners that could compromise the composite structure. Always ensure your chin strap is properly tensioned and the shield is fully latched before every session. Consult your sanctioning body (NHRA, SCCA, NASA, etc.) for specific safety rules regarding your racing class.
