Black Helmet Skirt

The Black Helmet Skirt by Simpson Safety is a critical safety component designed for serious motorsport competitors and high-performance drivers. This SFI 3.3/5-certified neck protector extends downward from the base of your racing helmet to shield the vulnerable neck and upper shoulder areas during high-speed driving, autocross events, road racing, and track day activities. Whether you're running a dedicated race car or pushing your modified street machine at the limit, the Black Helmet Skirt fills a safety gap that standard helmets alone cannot address.

Constructed from double-layer Nomex material, this skirt provides exceptional heat resistance and abrasion protection in the event of contact or fire exposure. Nomex is the same flame-resistant synthetic fiber used in professional racing suits and gloves, making it the gold standard for motorsport apparel. The double-layer construction increases durability and thermal protection without adding excessive bulk, keeping the skirt lightweight at just 0.55 lbs while maintaining structural integrity during impacts. The SFI 3.3/5 certification confirms compliance with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and FIA standards for head-and-neck restraint systems and flammability requirements—ensuring this product meets or exceeds sanctioning body regulations for legitimate racing competition.

The Black Helmet Skirt is essential for any competitor required to wear SFI-certified safety gear at sanctioned racing events, club races, or professional track facilities. Installation is straightforward—the skirt attaches to the base of your racing helmet and hangs down to cover the neck and shoulder transition zone. This product pairs seamlessly with any full-face or open-face racing helmet, making it an affordable upgrade for drivers who already own quality headgear but lack proper neck protection. If you're serious about motorsport safety and compliance, or if your racing insurance and sanctioning body require full-coverage protection, the Simpson Safety Black Helmet Skirt is a non-negotiable addition to your racing kit.
