Arai SK-6 Adult Karting Helmet
Being the dominant helmet on the F1 grid, winning an IRL Championship, and protecting the heads of NASCAR heroes like Gordon, Burton, and Montoya has put Arai on the receiving end of an abundance of world-class racing helmet input. The SK-6 gets the benefits of all this input. Designed by Arai specifically for karting, the SK-6 adds a ton of features and advancements to the already-impressive list of its predecessor.
You won t believe the comfort, lightness, and feeling of confidence the SK-6 gives you, thanks to its incredibly strong, proprietary cLc (Complex Laminate Construction) shell. Its strength allowed Arai to give the SK-6 an extremely soft EPS liner for better comfort and impact energy management. If you re serious about taking your karting to the next level, choose the helmet that already there.
Snell K2015 certified.
SK-6 FEATURES
Positive shield lock mechanism provides Solid latching, while allowing normal operation of the shield. Designed to be an integral component of the shield system and function, not just an add-on afterthought. The simplicity of the function masks the complexity of the design. A feature taken directly from the new GP-6PED
New shield pivot hardware improves aerodynamics. Type "6" 3mm shield.
Wider eye port for increased peripheral field of view.
Larger intake vent toggles for easier operation. Large rear vents for improved ventilation. Features taken directly from the new GP-6PED.
New "Removable/Replaceable" cheek pad design allows for custom fitting with optional thicknesses (15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm). Cheek pad covers are also removable to allow for easier and more thorough cleaning.

It's a good idea to take several measurements and use the largest one.

An effective helmet is one that fits properly. Have an assistant use a measuring tape, or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head starting at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, around a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement, and finally wrapping back to the front. It is a good idea to take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

The FIA 8859-2015 standard is commonly associated with racing helmets used in various motorsport disciplines. Helmets certified to FIA 8859-2015 met the safety requirements set by the FIA and were widely accepted in many racing series
Which helmet certification is the most stringent and the hardest to meet? The FIA 8860-2018 certification is considered the most stringent and advanced helmet certifications available for auto racing helmets, and it is often associated with top-tier motorsport categories like Formula 1.

Bell Racing Helmets KC7-CMR "Lewis Hamilton" Karting Helmet
F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton designs special edition Bell karting helmet
Bell Racing Helmets teamed up with F1 Multiple World Champion Lewis Hamilton to develop a special edition Lewis Hamilton KC7 CMR Karting helmet.
Lewis Hamilton worked personally with Bell in-house custom paint team to create a custom graphic for the KC7 CMR with the signature elements and colors of his F1 design. This special edition KC7 CMR features a multi-layer red SE07 2mm visor, clear top and side air intakes, clear rear spoiler and HP helmet bag. The KC7-CMR, an ultra-lightweight youth karting helmet, incorporates the same technology, aerospace materials and construction methods used to build the advanced Bell HP7 helmet used by Lewis Hamilton in F1 competition.
The KC7-CMR's sleek, aerodynamic design features an advanced ventilation system that can be used with or without air intakes to maximize cooling and a double screen anti-fog (DSAF) visor to eliminate fogging. Homologated to the Snell/FIA CMR standard and certified for global competition, the KC7-CMR is designed to minimize weight for karting drivers under the age of 18.
The Bell KC7-CMR is the perfect helmet for the next generation of champions as they start their racing career in karting.
