Simpson Darksome Flip Helmet - Gloss Black

Simpson Darksome Flip Helmet - Gloss Black

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 and commuters, old-school flip-up helmets generally use more conservative vents, middle-of-the-road shell shapes and 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 and NASCAR-style shell shape – in a slick, flip-front design.

Simpson has given the Darksome a full suite of top-end features, based around an advanced Maxx -3C composite 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, and 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, and the main visor has a tool-free release system. Fastening is by double-‘D’ ring strap, and the liner is fully removable and washable.
