Lightweight Fiberglass/Kevlar Multi Sandwich Fiber Shell The Stilo ST5 GT Composite features an advanced Fiberglass/Kevlar Multi Sandwich Fiber (MSF) shell designed to balance structural strength, impact-energy management, and helmet weight. Its composite shell construction uses multiple reinforcing materials arranged to provide the protective performance required by Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015. Stilo manufactures the composite shell using an autoclave molding process designed to deliver consistent construction and strength throughout the helmet. The ST5 GT Composite offers a premium alternative to conventional fiberglass racing helmets while maintaining a comfortable, manageable weight for extended driving sessions. Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015 Racing Certification The Stilo ST5 GT Composite carries two recognized automotive motorsport safety certifications: Snell SA2020: Automotive racing helmet certification addressing impact performance and other motorsport-specific safety requirements. FIA 8859-2015: FIA homologation for racing helmets used in approved motorsport applications. These certifications make the ST5 GT Composite suitable for numerous road racing, club racing, track-day, and endurance racing applications where the relevant standards remain accepted. Important: FIA 8859-2015 is not the same as FIA 8860-2018. Racing organizations establish their own accepted certification standards and expiration requirements. Always verify helmet eligibility before competition. Large Eyeport for Exceptional Driver Visibility Visibility is one of the defining characteristics of the Stilo ST5 GT Composite. Its generous eyeport design provides excellent peripheral vision, allowing drivers to maintain greater awareness of mirrors, approaching competitors, dashboard instruments, and cockpit surroundings. The expanded opening is particularly valuable for GT and endurance racing, where situational awareness is essential when navigating traffic and monitoring vehicle information. The helmet's eyeport design also supports Stilo's extensive selection of replacement visors and optical accessories. 3mm Clear Anti-Fog Racing Visor The ST5 GT Composite includes a 3mm clear visor with anti-fog treatment designed to help maintain visibility in changing cockpit conditions. Stilo's central visor locking mechanism provides an accessible closure point that can be operated while wearing racing gloves. The ST5 visor platform supports multiple optional shield finishes, allowing drivers to tailor their setup for different lighting conditions. Compatible options may include clear, smoke, mirrored, and iridium finishes, depending on availability. Explore the Stilo ST5 and ST5.1 Replacement Helmet Shields for additional options. Integrated Side Ports for Maximum Customization One of the ST5 GT Composite's most distinctive features is its integrated side accessory port system. Unlike conventional racing helmets that may require external accessory mounting arrangements, Stilo designed the ST5 shell with dedicated side ports that accommodate compatible components while maintaining a clean helmet profile. Depending on the selected installation, the helmet can accommodate: Integrated communication electronics Compatible microphones and speakers Radio and intercom connection systems Driver hydration equipment and drinking tubes Side-air ventilation accessories Compatible air-cooling systems This modular configuration makes the ST5 GT particularly useful for endurance racing teams and drivers who need to customize their helmets for different vehicles. Communication electronics, hydration systems, air accessories, and other optional equipment are sold separately unless specifically included in the selected configuration. Noise-Attenuating Earmuffs for GT and Endurance Racing The Stilo ST5 GT Composite includes removable noise-attenuating earmuff cushions designed to reduce unwanted sound inside noisy competition vehicles. By creating additional isolation around the ears, these cushions can help improve driver comfort during extended racing sessions. They also provide a useful foundation for compatible integrated communication systems, allowing microphone and speaker equipment to be installed according to driver preference. For endurance racers, effective sound management can make radio communication easier to understand during long stints. Removable Cheek Pads and Adjustable Interior Fit Proper helmet fit is essential for protective performance, comfort, and stability. The ST5 GT Composite incorporates removable cheek and crown comfort padding, allowing compatible interior components to be exchanged when appropriate. This flexibility enables drivers to fine-tune the helmet's fit without compromising the integrity of the protective shell. The black Nomex interior provides fire-resistant materials suitable for automotive motorsport applications. Stilo's Intermediate Oval interior shape is designed to provide secure contact around the head while accommodating a broad range of drivers. Replacement pads must be selected specifically for the ST5 helmet platform and installed according to manufacturer recommendations. Two Shell Sizes for Reduced Weight and Bulk The Stilo ST5 GT Composite uses two exterior shell sizes to provide more proportional helmet dimensions across its available size range. The smaller shell accommodates helmet sizes 54, 55, 57, and 59, while the larger shell accommodates sizes 60, 61, 63, and 64. This approach helps reduce unnecessary exterior material around smaller head sizes while providing adequate interior dimensions for larger drivers. The transition between the small and large shell occurs at size 60, making it particularly important to evaluate fit when selecting between sizes 59 and 60. M6 HANS and FHR Anchor Compatibility The Stilo ST5 GT Composite includes factory-installed M6 threaded mounting receivers designed for approved Frontal Head Restraint hardware. These threaded mounting points allow compatible HANS and other FHR anchor posts to be installed without modifying the helmet shell. Important: M6 threaded receivers are included, but HANS/FHR anchor posts are sold separately unless specified in the selected package. Always use approved anchor hardware and follow the installation requirements of the helmet and head-and-neck-restraint manufacturers. Optional Forced-Air Cooling and Hydration Systems For drivers competing in hot environments or extended endurance races, the ST5 GT Composite can be configured with compatible Stilo ventilation and hydration accessories. Available configurations include selected side-air and top-air systems that can help introduce external cooling air into the helmet. Hydration accessories allow compatible drinking tubes to be routed through the helmet's integrated accessory system. The helmet's modular design helps keep these systems organized while reducing interference with the driver's comfort padding and cockpit equipment. Air-cooling hardware, hydration components, and external cooling equipment are available separately.

Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v3 Nomex Racing Gloves The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v3 Nomex Gloves are engineered to provide lightweight protection, precise steering-wheel control, and lasting comfort for competitive auto racing. Designed with a single upper panel and an innovative finger construction, these racing gloves reduce excess material throughout the fingers while lowering the overall weight of the glove. The streamlined design creates a close, anatomically optimized fit that is especially beneficial inside confined racing cockpits. Drivers receive improved freedom of movement, reduced bulk, and a more direct connection with the steering wheel and vehicle controls. Lightweight Single-Panel Construction The single-panel upper construction minimizes unnecessary seams and material across the glove. This helps improve flexibility and reduces potential pressure points during long races, qualifying sessions, and track days. By reducing excess fabric in the fingers, the Tech-1 Start v3 offers a more precise fit and improved dexterity without sacrificing the protection required for motorsport competition. Innovative Finger Design Box-cut fingertip construction provides a comfortable and natural finger position while helping reduce material buildup near the fingertips. The middle and ring fingers use a seamless, no-fourchette design that eliminates the traditional fabric panels between the fingers. This construction creates a less restrictive feel and allows the glove to conform more closely to the driver’s hand. The reduced bulk is particularly useful when operating steering-wheel buttons, switches, paddles, and other controls inside compact racing cockpits. Silicone Palm Grip Ergonomically positioned silicone-printed zones across the palm provide enhanced grip on the steering wheel. The strategically placed silicone helps reduce unwanted hand movement and allows the driver to maintain control without applying excessive gripping pressure. The improved grip can help reduce hand fatigue while providing a more consistent steering feel during demanding driving conditions. Extended Elasticated Cuff The close-fitting, straight cuff extends beyond the wrist to provide dependable coverage between the gloves and racing suit. An elasticated wrist allows for easy entry while helping keep the glove securely positioned once fitted. The streamlined cuff design also reduces unnecessary bulk around the wrist and fits comfortably beneath or over the cuff of a compatible racing suit. FIA and SFI-Certified Racing Protection The Alpinestars Tech-1 Start v3 Gloves are certified to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards for use in sanctioned motorsport competition.

Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips Sparco Touch-S technology places patented fire-resistant, touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen electronics without removing their gloves. Touch-S is ideal for using data-acquisition displays, phone-based lap timers, and mobile applications between sessions while maintaining the protective construction of the glove. External Seams for Improved Comfort Externally stitched seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce pressure points when gripping the steering wheel. The external-seam design provides a more natural feel and improved steering feedback, especially during long races and extended track sessions. Padded Knuckle Protection A padded knuckle area provides additional comfort and protection when the hands are bent around the steering wheel. The padding helps protect the knuckles in tight cockpit environments while preserving the flexibility required for precise control. Elasticated Wrist for a Secure Fit An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place while maintaining comfort and flexibility. The streamlined wrist design allows for easy entry and removal while providing dependable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
