Simpson Racing Equipment Helmet Shield

Simpson Racing Helmet Shields: Race-Proven Vision Protection

Simpson Racing Equipment has been a cornerstone of motorsport safety since 1959, and that same dedication to protecting drivers extends directly to their line of helmet shields. A helmet's shell keeps your head protected, but it's the shield that stands between your eyes and the track — and Simpson takes that responsibility seriously.

Designed for the Helmets Racers Trust

Simpson's replacement helmet shields are engineered as precise, model-specific fits for their most iconic helmet families. Whether you're running the legendary Bandit, the Super Bandit, the Carbon Bandit, the Drag Bandit, the Venator, the SD1, or the Voyager, Simpson offers a purpose-built shield replacement that preserves the original fit and optical clarity of your lid. Since 1959, racers and motorcycle riders have trusted Simpson Racing products to provide an unparalleled level of comfort, performance, and protection.

A Shield for Every Lighting Condition

Simpson helmet shields are offered in clear as well as stylish and functional tints. When ordering a shield for your racing or motorcycle helmet, key considerations include: clear shields for night racing or very low light conditions; amber shields for overcast weather; yellow shields for dawn or dusk driving to accentuate track features; tinted shields to eliminate daytime glare; mirrored shields to block even more sunlight; and iridium shields for the most protection from both sunlight and glare.

Simpson produces Lexan helmet shields available in clear, light smoke, smoke, iridium, and high-resolution amber finishes, and they include tear-off posts where applicable. This breadth of options means drivers can fine-tune their visual environment at every race and in every condition.

Anti-Fog and Anti-Scratch Technology

Simpson is committed to ensuring drivers see an undistorted view of their competition, which is why most shield models are treated with anti-fog coating. Shields are built from .125 Lexan with tear-off posts where applicable, and anti-fog treatment is available for most models. For the Venator-series shields in particular, both an exterior anti-scratch treatment and an interior anti-fog treatment are standard features. Scratches and pockmarks in a shield can have a negative effect on vision, which can lead to fatigue and increased reaction times — even if you don't notice the scratches when you're wearing the helmet. Replacing a worn shield is one of the most impactful — and most overlooked — maintenance steps a racer can take.
