Well, my entry form was mailed in over the weekend, so "the die is cast".

Just now the FedEx truck rolled up with my helmet. Although I had purchased it from Speedway Motors, I was notified by Simpson that they wanted to replace the chin strap on all of their Voyager II SA2015 helmets. They gave me an RMA to ship it back to Simpson and now it's returned in just a little over a week. Plus, they included a free silver face shield free.

Kudos to Simpson for doing this voluntarily and making the process painless, quick, and at no cost.

Cool move. That visor is nice...... and pretty pricey too.

How about a pic Neil?.

I only order direct from the manufacture after getting burned on some almost out of date safety stuff in the past

I just had this problem. Tag on some seatbelts was 08-13- and month/year of mfg not specified.
Went right back. If they can't give me up to date stuff, then MFG here I come.

I agree- any vendor that tries to foist off old date code stuff on their customers is not someone I want to deal with.

Mike, here is a photo of my Simpson Voyager II helmet with its original clear shield. The silver shield does not have the mounting hardware yet but you can see what it looks like. Nice free gift from Simpson- $69.99 list price. I haven't peeled off the protective film yet or installed the HANS posts on the helmet.

I gotta get one of those for my Simpson.
It's the right color IMO. Love it.

BTW, have you seen how loose the straps are on some of the F1 drivers
HANS devices are?. It won't have any effect in a hard hit. Just my 2C.

Your helmet looks great Neil.

That helmet looks like it has a tall eye port.  Us bike guys like this feature.  Does it have one?

[manta22]

Yes, the Simpson Voyager II has a tall eye port. That's one of the reasons I selected it, I wear glasses and it's easier to get them on with a taller eye port. It is also SA2015 so it will meet specs for some time to come.

. . . but it may not have the motorcycle certification (?).

[manta22]

Stan;

Possibly it does't; I'm not a bike guy so I was only concerned that it had an SA certification. Simpson might be able to make a recommendation.

My adjustable-angle HANS arrived so I was able to mount the sliding tether attachment posts on my helmet. One more thing done.

Some pics Neil?.

I'd love to see the HANS. Thanks.
