Arai GP-5W SA2020 | Auto Racing Helmet | Sube Sports

The New Arai GP-5W auto racing helmet, SA2020, features a wider eye-port (90mm)and ventilation specific to closed cockpit race cars. The updated Snell 2020 requirements does not change the previous GP-5W design with the new GP-5W retaining exactly all of it's previous looks and features, among them the 5 point upper ventilation system and slightly modified shield. Constructed of Arai's exclusive PB-CLC (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction) shell technology, which provides superior impact energy management properties, utilizing proprietary cutting edge fiberglass based materials and construction techniques, while maintaining low weight without the use of trendy materials which may not be properly suited for use in helmet applications.

The Arai GP-5W SA2020 helmet's upper ventilation remains unchanged from the GP-5W SA2015 model, incorporating 3 intake scoops in front and two delta exhaust outlets in the rear. The interior fit is typical Arai, benefiting from years of research and refinement, resulting in a helmet that more closely matches the shape of the human head. Such a close fit allows for the smallest possible helmet to be worn, while still being comfortable. Combined with incredible fit and comfort, Arai concentrates on balance and center of gravity.

The GP-5W SA2020 helmet represents the result of Arai's pursuit of a comprehensive package, providing comfort, function in an attractive package, masking the hidden energy management system within. Because after all, the thing to remember is that a helmet is worn to take the abuse in the event of an impact and if necessary be destroyed in that process. Snell SA2020 Approved and FIA 8859-2015 Approved M6 Hans fixation facility. Available in white. Sizes: XS-XL.
