The Arai GP-7 Helmet: Your Head's New Best Bud
Racers, you’ve heard tales whispered in the pits, haven’t you? About that one helmet, the game-changer, the track day’s pièce de résistance? Enter the Arai GP7. This isn't just any auto racing helmet – it's like strapping a penthouse suite onto your noggin. With features so slick, it's like Arai peeked into our racetrack dreams!
Born from racing DNA, the GP-7 comes fully loaded with Arai’s super-secret PBcLc (no, it's not a misplaced bingo callout, it stands for Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate!) shell construction. Yes, folks, that's the same stellar shell shape flaunted by the Formula 1 grade GP-7SRC model. Feel that? It's the sensation of your racing cred skyrocketing.
And while we're on the topic of field of view, the wider eye port is an absolute game-changer, optimizing your peripheral vision. It's kinda like giving your eyes their own luxury box seats at the Grand Prix. Plus, the upgraded ventilation doesn’t just whisper cool breezes – it belts out Arctic gales. Those cheek pads? Like laying your face on a cloud that went to finishing school. And we've got three robust intake vents paired with two exhaust behemoths to ensure you’re the coolest cat on the track.
Here's a sweet nugget for the safety-conscious speed demons out there: the ARAI GP-7 is all prepped with that glorious Snell SA2020 certification and comes factory-installed with M6 washers/nuts, ready for you to attach your Head and Neck Restraint system using a 6mm bolt. Plus, there’s that fancy FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker on the interior liner – it's like a little nod from the big leagues saying, "You've got this!"
So, are you ready to elevate your racing experience and give your head the luxury treatment it deserves? Maybe it's time to stop flirting with the idea and seal the deal.
Shift into gear, hit ‘Add to Cart’, and let the Arai GP-7 be the wingman your head's always dreamed of!
A driver favorite, the Arai GP-7 SA2020 helmet combines the most popular Arai features with new, improved upgrades. The GP-7 is constructed with Arai own PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction and the same shell shape as the Formula 1 grade GP-7SRC model. New ventilation, a soft EPS liner, and a wider eye port for optimized peripheral vision are part of this new shell which gives the driver notable strength and flexibility. Replaceable cheek pads make racing comfortable for any driver, as do the three larger, closeable intake vents and two larger exhaust vents on the ventilation system.
The ARAI GP-7 helmet is Snell SA2020 certified with factory-installed M6 washers/nuts. Drivers of any skill level can install their own Head and Neck Restraint system using a 6mm bolt. The FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker is applied to the interior liner of the helmet.
POSITIVE SHIELD LATCH
Simple yet effective, the positive latch mechanism on the GP-7 SA2020 helmet gives the driver solid shield latching, but is seamlessly integrated into the standard shield system for ease of use.
NEW SHIELD PIVOT HARDWARE
The GP-7 SA2020 features new shield pivot hardware with improved aerodynamics based on the updated track slider design. An increased peripheral field of view is featured on the 6 series, which surpasses the 5 series in visibility. The wider eye port, shield, and pivot hardware were all developed on the RC and adapted to the GP-7 SA2020 helmet.
VENTILATION
Increased airflow is key to the GP-7 SA2020 helmet design. This includes bigger, closeable intake vents with large 10mm holes in both front and rear. Larger rear vents also provide better airflow.
M6 ANCHORS
Drivers of all skill levels will appreciate the integrated, pre-installed M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads which accepts a range of Head and Neck Restraint devices. A flat surface area around the mounting nut will let the anchor post base to rest flush along the surface of the helmet and around the full perimeter of the anchor base. FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner material.
NEW CHINBAR
The GP-7 SA2020 new, ergonomic chinbar and ridge at the bottom edge of the shell lowers the center of gravity and increases the structural integrity of the helmet. Additional improvements include a rise in the shell above the shoulders for increased clearance.
EJECT READY CROWN PAD
Arai's optional Eject system can be easily accommodated via a pre-cut pocket under the helmet crown pad.
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.
