Simpson Racing Gear & Accessories

Simpson Performance Products was founded in 1959 by Bill Simpson as Simpson Drag Chutes and has grown to become one of the major manufacturers of racing safety equipment in North America and internationally. The company supplies harness systems, gloves, Simpson helmets, head restraints, shoes, racing seats, and more to all racers from local to international teams. Simpson racing suits and other safety gear and equipment have been utilized in many types of motorsports, among them NASCAR, IndyCars, IHRA, CART, and NHRA.

All of International Race of Champions (IROC) cars had been equipped with Simpson racing products like window nets and belts until the governing body was closed. All the way up until the mid-2000s, Simpson was the only officially certified company to offer safety equipment used in NASCAR racing. The company first offered The Envelope of Safety idea back in 1999. The EOS is the company’s approach to the total protection of the race car driver. By surrounding the driver with eight protection elements, the company’s products safeguard them from dangers on the race track. Keeping the driver contained inside a safety cell protected at 360 degrees is absolutely vital during any crash. The race car driver must be kept straight up in the seat, with the “spine in line” that is critical to personal safety. Carefully mounted seats, head and neck devices, restraints, head surrounds, and window & side nets complete the system.

Since creating the first in the world drag racing parachute over five decades ago, Simpson has been utterly devoted to keeping race car drivers secure and safe from head to feet with SFI-approved gear created for serious racers. The company designs and produces some of the industry’s most reliable Simpson racing helmets, Nomex flame-retardant suits, gloves, Simpson race shoes, and all of the equipment you need to be secure in your vehicle. Any racer getting into the vehicle in Simpson's Envelope of Safety is given the advantage of over five decades of Simpson Performance Products’ experience, safety, and innovation!
