Over 60 Years of Trust at Speed
Since 1959, Simpson Performance Products has been protecting the fastest names in motorsports. From the moment founder Bill Simpson parachuted out of a moving car to prove his early safety gear, we’ve been setting the standard for innovation, grit, and unrelenting commitment to keeping racers alive and in the fight.
Simpson was born on the drag strip—and we’ve never looked back. We engineered the first drag parachute. We pioneered racing harnesses. We helped invent the modern racing helmet. From NASCAR to NHRA, from dirt ovals to desert trails, Simpson is the name that legends trust when there’s no margin for error.
Legacy Meets Innovation
We're proud of where we’ve been—but we’re just getting started.
Today, Simpson operates as part of a family of brands, including:
Stilo – Premier Italian helmets trusted in Formula and rally racing
HANS – The gold standard for head and neck restraint systems
RaceQuip – Affordable, proven safety gear for grassroots racers
Together, we offer a head-to-toe safety system for every level of competition—whether you’re chasing world records or just chasing adrenaline.
A Tribe of Racers
What defines Simpson isn’t just the products. It’s the people. Our tribe is made up of racers, fabricators, engineers, and creators who live and breathe motorsports. We speak the language of horsepower, fire, and finish lines. We don’t follow trends—we make statements. And we’ve earned our loyalty the hard way: at speed, in fire, and under pressure.
The Road Ahead
Simpson continues to lead. We’re expanding into new markets, innovating across new technologies, and listening to the racers who wear our gear every day. Because this is more than a brand—it’s a legacy. And it’s one we take personally.
