Description:
Arai's new SK-5 model is based largely on Arai's openwheel auto racing helmets worn by top drivers in the Formula-1, CART, IRL and NASCAR. Utilizing the same shell mold and shield as the GP-5, the SK-5 gives the look most desired by Karting racers while incorporating specific features which function more effectively under Kart racing conditions. Specific to karting the Nylon liner material is not only lighter, but it also breathes better, absorbs more sweat and allows the ventilation system to function more effectively at Karting speeds. The nylon material also washes much more easily to allow the helmet to stay fresher, longer. Removable, washable and replaceable cheek pads allow more frequent and thorough cleaning and/or replacement for a more personalized fit for those with a narrower are broader facial structure than anticipated with the stock pad dimensions. Incorporates a 4-Point upper ventilation system with large, closeable twin intake scoops force more cooling air directly into the interior crown of the liner, which flows directly over the top of the head and exhausts out through the double-Delta2 bridged exhaust vent (which is also closeable). Constructed of Arai's exclusive clc (Complex Laminate Construction) shell technology, which provides superior impact energy management properties, utilizing proprietary cutting edge fiberglass materials and construction techniques, while maintaining low weight without the used of trendy materials which may not be properly suited for us in helmet applications. 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 K-05 approved (non-fireproof). Available in white. Sizes: XS - XXL.
