Simpson
"The Original Hard Shell"
The Simpson Story
Simpson began in 1948 when brothers Bill and Bob Simpson started manufacturing motorcycle helmets in their garage in San Francisco, California. Initially producing leather helmets for the burgeoning post-war motorcycle culture, the company quickly gained a reputation for durability and craftsmanship. As the industry evolved towards plastic shells, Simpson adapted by introducing one of the first hard-shell helmets in 1960, setting a new standard for protection that would define the brand's legacy.
