Arai Auto Racing GP-5W SA2020 Helmet
The Arai GP-5W Auto Racing Helmet: Your Ticket to the VIP Racing Experience
Welcome to the next-gen of auto racing helmets, where style and substance join forces to deliver a turbocharged head-hugging experience. Introducing the Arai GP5W. Forget what you know about racing helmets because the GP-5W is rewriting the rules, one lap at a time!
Let's start with that drop-dead gorgeous, wider 90mm eye port opening. Not only does it make you look like you’re straight out of a futuristic racing movie, but that approx 3.5” top-to-bottom view? It's like watching the racetrack on IMAX. This isn’t just any window to the track; it's your panoramic penthouse view of the racing world.
Now, we've all had those moments, squinting through standard visors, missing out on the beauty of the track’s curves. No more! The exclusive shield on the GP-5W flaunts that larger opening, ensuring every twist and turn is yours to conquer.
Safety? The Arai GP-5W doesn’t just walk the talk; it revs the engine and roars. Snell SA2020 certified? Check. Factory-installed M6 washer/nuts? You bet. So, when it comes to anchoring your Head and Neck Restraint system, it’s smooth sailing (or should we say, smooth racing?). Plus, that cherry-on-top FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker nestled on the shell interior lining is just the nod from the pros you’ve been waiting for.
So, if you're the kind of racer who demands the best, whether you're tearing it up in stock car showdowns, pushing limits in a club race, or getting gritty with rally drives, the Arai GP-5W is your helmet soulmate.
The Arai Auto Racing GP-5W SA2020 Helmet is perfect for stock car, road race, and rally drivers. The GP-5W Helmet is a favorite because of its wider, 90mm (approx 3.5 top to bottom) eye port opening. The GP-5W uses its own exclusive shield with this larger opening.
The Arai GP-5W is Snell SA2020 certified with M6 washer/nuts installed at the factory. Drivers of any experience level will be able to easily install their Head and Neck Restraint system anchor posts (sold separately). The Arai Auto Racing GP-5W SA2020 also comes with the FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker found on the shell interior lining.
SCLC CONSTRUCTION
The GP-5W Helmet SA2020 is built with Arai's exclusive, very-lightweight SCLC (Super Complex Laminate Construction) shell technology. This ensures a low overall weight to balance the added weight of the helmet larger shield.
ARAI GP-5W SHELL SHAPE
The The Arai Auto Racing GP-5W Helmet SA2020 helps reduce fatigue for the driver due to its more natural head shape, smaller shell size, and lower center of gravity to assist with balance and stability.
ARAI GP-5W INTERIOR FIT
The The Arai Auto Racing GP-5W Helmet SA2020 is designed to closely match the shape of the human head, allowing for a snug, yet comfortable, fit. Arai has developed this natural shape over more than 50 years of helmet design research and refinement.
ARAI GP-5W WIDER EYE PORT
Sedan drivers will appreciate the larger, 90mm eye port, top to bottom. A visor peak is available for drivers not needing a shield on the The Arai Auto Racing GP-5W Helmet SA2020.
REMOVABLE/REPLACEABLE CHEEK PADS
Low-maintenance, easy-to-clean cheek pads are removable, washable, and replaceable with pads of varying thickness to provide a snug, safe fit.
M6 ANCHORS
The FIA-8859-2015 certified ARAI GP-5W Helmet SA2020 is pre-installed with the M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads. This convenient feature allows the driver to use the anchor system that works with their Head and Neck Restraints the best. The anchor post is made to rest flush on the helmet surface due to a flat surface area around the mounting nut. Accepts a variety of anchor systems for Head and Neck Restraints.
ARAI GP-5W VENTILATION
Sedan car and closed cockpit drivers need greater airflow when racing. The upper ventilation system of the ARAI GP-5W SA2020 Helmet incorporates two exhaust vents and two large intake ducts to help keep the driver cool and comfortable.
OPTIONS INCLUDE
Anti- Fog Shields in Clear, Light Tint and Dark Smoke; Standard shields in Clear, Light Tint and Dark Smoke.
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 most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.
