Coolshirt
Coolshirt Connectors
from $10.00
Coolshirt Hose Connectors
FEATURES:
5/16" connectors that work with your Coolshirt system as well as others.
Sold individually, you'll need two to adapt a garment properly.
Choose connector style: Male or Female.
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY (Coolshirt/Momo/F.A.S.T.):
Coolshirt MALE connectors work with any FEMALE connector (Coolshirt, Momo or F.A.S.T.). So no matter which system you have, a Coolshirt Coolwater shirt will work with it because of the MALE connector on the shirt.
If you own a Momo or F.A.S.T. cooling shirt and want to use it with a Coolshirt system, simply purchase two Coolshirt MALE connectors, snip off the connectors on your shirt, and replace them. That's it! Because the Coolshirt male connectors are universal, your shirt will now be usable with all three major cooling systems. Even if you’ll be racing in another car which uses a F.A.S.T. or Momo system, the new Coolshirt MALE connectors you just pushed on will work with it.
Roux Helmets
Cool-X Hose Assembly for CoolShirt and F.A.S.T Fits Roux R-1 Helmets
$299.95
Cool-X Hose Assembly for CoolShirt and F.A.S.T Fits Roux R-1 Helmets
Attach the Cool-X Cooling system to your Roux Helmet with this simple, safe and easy to use Cool-X hose assembly.
How does the Roux Helmet Cooling Work? Great question that is answered with both a simple and complex answer. Starting at the helmet, Roux uses a one-piece block that connects to the two dry-break fittings located on the right side of your Roux R-1 Composite and Carbon helmets. The fiberglass helmets do not have the Cool-X option, so this works with the Composite (Silver) and Carbon (Matt & Gloss) Roux R-1 helmets. To connect your block fitting to your helmet, simply line it up and push until you hear the metallic "click". Even with a race engine you will hear the click. The hose then goes to down to a "Y" connector that goes to both your CoolShirt or F.A.S.T. garment and then to the CoolShirt cooler supply hose. All fittings have dry breaks in all positions (no leaks while in use or disconnected) so the cool water stays where it needs to be.
The Roux Helmet cooling adapter, "Roux Cool-X Hose Assembly" is truly a one and done item that is built incredibly well and ready for the harshest race car environment you can give it.
DiscoveryParts Pro Tip: If purchasing a new CoolShirt shirt choose the right side for the hose connection. That keeps both the shirt and helmet on the same side of the driver and neat and tidy.

Simpson Equipment Sterilizer and Dryer
The antibacterial dryer for race gear is one of Simpson's newest creations keeping multi-equipment including your helmet, gloves, footwear and more in a temp controlled environment. Despite how much cash you fork out for your racing gear, according to the second law of thermodynamics, everything degrades over time.

Manufacturer part number: 97100BK
Durable and compact
Temperature and timer settings
Simple design easily accommodates multiple styles and sizes
Anti-bacterial, eliminates odors and controls bacteria growth
Dual dryer ports
110 volt

Great way to heat up the shield to prevent fogging
Helmet, gloves and shoes included with sterilizer: No, but we certainly can help you with this
But there are some measures you can take to slow down that process and save yourself some money. First step: use nomex-safe washes like Molecule. Second, keep your gear dry and fresh with the Multi-Equipment Dryer from Simpson. Perspiration and bacteria, as it sits in your helmet, gloves, socks, and shoes over time, can quicken the process of erosion. If you want to combat this and keep your equipment in peak condition for longer periods of time, stop the mildew and mold before it begins.
Simpson Disinfecting Equipment Dryer Application:The most popular way to use the Simpson Equipment Dryer is on your helmet. Simplly place your helmet on the Simpson dryer and press start. The pre-programmed schedule will first de-ionize, push heated air and then dry air through your helmet.
Simpson Disinfecting Equipment Dryer Gloves Application:Change the dual output helmet base to the individual bases and now you can easily kill bacteria, heat and dry your racing gloves. Get that fresh-out-of-the-dryer feeling without destroying your gloves.
Simpson Disinfecting Equipment Dryer Boots Application:Not just for your auto racing boots, but motocross, ski, cycle or favorite Nike VaporFly 4% running shoes. Kill the stench and keep your kicks fresh.
Ever notice how an ice cold coke can will bead up and sweat in the sun? Temp changes do the same thing to your helmet shield in intense temperatures. The Simpson Multi-Equipment Dryer has temp control to warm up your helmet on cold days, preventing a foggy shield on track. This is just one of the many benefits of using a temp-controlled multi-equipment dryer.
