DOES NOT mean it is.
Quote from SIMPSON'S WEB SITE About 5 minutes ago.
Simpson Performance Products is headquartered in New Braunfels, TX
with more than 80,000 sq. feet of manufacturing and warehouse space.
Our restraints, helmets and flagship parachutes are all manufactured and
tested right here. Simpson firesuits and crew uniforms are manufactured
outside of Los Angeles, CA in our 52,000 sq. foot facility. Simpson also
employs the largest customer service and sales team devoted solely to
servicing NASCAR customers of any racing safety supplier, based in the
heart of NASCAR country, Mooresville, NC..
My Simpson Helmet came with a
Made in China sticker on it. I couldn't believe it. I mentioned it was made in CHINA before and some guy wanted to know where I got my facts from because their website said made in usa...
I then told him that it had a made in CHINA Ssticker stuck right to it., so He called them. He was told that the ones that are sized with a # or hat size are made in USA but the one's that are small med large were not.
