Simpson Hyper Optik® Shield Insert Offers Solution for Day to Night Racing

Features:

  • Transfers from Clear Green to Cobalt Blue is less than 4 seconds when exposed to intense sunllight.
  • Extreme Tolerance ensures no distortion of vision.
  • Anti-Fog
  • Universal design fits most helmets
  • Easy to apply/Easy to remove

Driving into the setting sun is not unique to race car drivers, but it does pose an especially dangerous situation when traveling at a blazing rate of speed. Simpson is now offering an easy to install shield insert that automatically detects solar glare and adjusts to offer needed protection during this crucial time.

The thin polycarbonate lens is optically coated with a patented photo chromatic coating that transforms from clear green to dark cobalt blue in less than 4 seconds when exposed to intense sunlight. The insert returns to its normal color when removed from the light source. Manufactured in a cleanroom environment, the lens is optically correct, meaning the tolerance of the visor holds to only a micron of variation, an all important factor to ensure no distortion of vision. As an added benefit, the lens is anti-fog.

Hyper Optiks® comes with a self adhesive seal and easy application guide. With proper care, your light reactive insert can last through an entire season. At end of life, simply peel away the lens and replace. The universal design fits most helmets. Some drivers like to use the Speed Tint visor along with the Hyper Optiks® insert. Speed Tint visors can be applied at the top of the insert, and offer continuous protection when looking upward.

Extensive product testing has revealed the exceptional performance of the Hyper Optik® shield insert. Simpson Performance Products is the exclusive distributor for Hyper Optik® to the automotive racing industry. Simpson Performance Products does not recommend Hyper Optik® for use by drivers with astigmatism due to potential for increased back glare.

Since 1959, Simpson Performance Products has led the motorsports industry in safety innovation. We continually elevate safety standards through our dedication to continuous development, refinement and testing.

The Simpson Envelope of Safety reflects the highest standard available on the market today.
