Simpson Darksome Carbon, Flip-up Helmet

Product Description

The Simpson Darksome is a Flip-Front helmet with unique Simpson helmet style. It’s fair to say that many ‘modular’ helmets have a rather staid design. Aimed at tourers & commuters, old-school flip-up helmets generally use more conservative vents, middle-of-the-road shell shapes & restrained overall looks. But Simpson Helmets is changing all that, with the new Darksome. It incorporates design DNA from the legendary Simpson Bandit – with the same radical chinbar shape, grille-type vents & NASCAR-style shell shape – in a slick, flip-front design. The Bandit became a firm favorite amongst UK bikers in the 1970s, 80s & 90s, with its super high performance & sharp aggressive looks. Now, fans of the Bandit can enjoy the same uncompromising design – in a practical, usable day-to-day flip-front helmet, with quieter, more advanced aerodynamics. Simpson has given the Darksome a full suite of top-end features, based around an advanced Maxx -3C composite or full carbon main shell, with a high-tech polymer flip-up section. That makes for a very light helmet – just 1, 510g, as well as an easy-to-use flip mechanism. A central button releases the chinbar, & a sliding switch on the main shell lets riders lock the chinbar in the ‘up’ position. There’s an internal drop down sun visor, a Pinlock Maxvision insert included in the box, & the main visor has a tool-free release system. Fastening is by double-‘D’ ring strap, & the liner is fully removable &

Washable.
