Description:
The new Arai GP-5k helmet is largely based on its big brother, the GP-5, while offering a more affordable alternative for drivers not wanting all the features of the more expensive GP-5. The Arai GP-5k is heavily favored by sedan or rally drivers, who do not require all the upper ventilation found on the GP-5 while at the same time appreciate the slightly larger eye port opening (Approximately 10mm - 5mm up and 5mm down). Constructed of Arai's exclusive clc (Complex Laminate Construction) shell technology, which is less costly and slightly heavier than our lightest Sclc material, allowing for a lower retail cost, while still providing the same level of impact energy management. The interior remains very similar to the previous GP-4 series, with the addition of approximately 5mm more room in the facial area and slightly more forehead room. Arai's GP series' utilize a proprietary flame-retardant interior material known as Lastan™. The chin bar area has been modified to incorporate 2 air intake slots, which have been moved up just under the shield. The now solid chin bar has some subtle details in the mold and has been extended down slightly, giving the appearance of a much more robust piece. Upper ventilation is comprised of a single intake and single exhaust duct. 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. Snell SA-05 approved. Available in gloss white or gloss black. Sizes: XS-XXL.
