Simpson Venator Carbon Helmet, Snell SA2020

Brand: Simpson Performance Products

The Venator includes traditional Simpson shell styling (wave-form anti-buffeting trip strips in the crown) with aggressive, wide inlet slots in the chin bar just below the shield opening. The Venator is ideal for open-cockpit cars and karts, but is equally at home inside sedans. This full Carbon version features a genuine Italian carbon fiber shell for lightest weight. The cabon weave shows through the clearcoat for a modern look. Snell SA2020 approved for use with a HANS® Device. Industry-standard M6 female threaded inserts are molded into the shell for easy installation of HANS anchors (sold separately).

SA2020 is the latest Snell Foundation rating for automotive racing helmets. This helmet rating has been developed to provide the best safety protection for auto racing drivers who are restrained in their vehicles. SA2020 helmets are tested for flame retardance, and additional tests ensure compatibility with HANS® Devices. An SA-rated helmet may not meet DOT specifications for street use, such as on motorcycles.

SIZING: Helmets should fit as snug as possible without causing discomfort. Measure head circumference around the largest part of the head approximately one inch above the eyebrows and just above the ears. If a one or two layer Nomex hood will be worn with the helmet, it should be worn when measuring head circumference. If a hood is not available, add about 1/4 inch to the circumference measurement for a single layer hood and 1/2 inch for a double layer hood.
