Description
The Simpson Shorty Crew Helmet is the professional choice for pit crew members and track safety personnel who require reliable head protection without the weight or restriction of a full-coverage helmet. This Gloss White, Medium model is specifically engineered for the high-intensity environment of the pit lane, where situational awareness and clear communication are paramount.
Designed with a focus on functionality and staff comfort, the Shorty Crew Helmet features a low-profile aesthetic that aligns with classic track safety styling.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The Simpson Shorty Crew Helmet is a specialized piece of safety equipment intended only for pit crews and track personnel. It should not be used for sanctioned high-speed competition or on public highways. To maintain the Gloss White finish, clean the exterior shell with mild soap and water and a soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the ABS visor or internal liner. Regularly inspect the 4-way straps and the integrity of the EPS liner for any signs of wear or impact damage. Between events, store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure the longevity of the protective materials.
