More About Arai Helmets

Arai's mission has always been the protection and comfort of racers. Every Arai helmet is 100 percent handmade. Arai doesn't build helmets to meet any safety standards; they build them to exceed the standards. The foundation principals of protection formulated over three generations have never been forgotten in six decades of helmet design and manufacturing.

At Arai, safety standards like Snell or DOT are the baseline, not the goal. Standards create minimum criteria, but, while many helmet makers design their helmets to meet those minimums, "good enough" has never been good enough around here. Arai standards are made for the real world, the world of unpredictable situations, sharp angles - things that don't move when you hit them. A world you can't duplicate in a controlled, predictable testing laboratory environment.

  • The Arai GP-6S auto racing helmet is designed with the sport driver in mind (hence the "S" designation). It uses the same shell shape as the Arai GP-6 (PED) and state-of-the-art Arai GP-6RC, along with the same wider eye port for increased peripheral vision. The single intake/single exhaust vents provide excellent ventilation performance. Check the entire list of features and we think you’ll agree: The only thing missing from Arai’s GP-6S is the higher price tag.

    ??Now Snell SA2015 certified, with the new M6 washer/nut installed at the factory. With the 6mm washer/nut installed, anyone can now easily install a variety of Head and Neck Restraint systems that use a 6mm bolt to their helmet. This helmet also comes with the FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner of the helmet.

  • The Arai GP-6RC auto racing helmet is a stunning example of Arai’s vision and technological mastery engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary Carbon Fiber (CF) weave that combines CF’s existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight with a major added benefit that standard CF does not possess: flexibility. (Standard CF tends to splinter or shatter instead of flex on impact.) The result is a helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of Formula-1 racing. One whose remaining list of features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be. The Arai GP-6RC helmet meets or exceeds the FIA 8860-2010 Standard and the SNELL SAH 2010 Standard.
  • Simply put, it’s hard to imagine a better racing helmet than the Arai GP-6PED m6 auto racing helmet. Combine Arai’s proprietary, groundbreaking PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction -- the same shell shape as the F-1-grid’s Arai GP-6RC model; a wider eye port for optimized peripheral vision; new ventilation; and on and on – and you get the striking new Arai GP-6(PED) helmet. The new shell gives you incredible strength and flexibility, and that strength allows Arai to use an extremely soft EPS liner that’s so comfortable it’ll make you think more about a nap than a race. Right until you strap in, that is. The cheek pads are replaceable for a more personal fit. Up top, the ventilation system is greatly improved with three larger, closeable intake vents, plus two larger exhaust cowls.

    Now Snell SA2015 certified, with the M6 washer/nut installed at the factory. With the 6mm washer/nut installed, anyone can now easily install a variety of Head and Neck Restraint systems that use a 6mm bolt to their helmet. This helmet also comes with the FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner of the helmet.
  • The Arai GP-5W auto racing helmet is favored by stock car, sedan, and rally drivers because of its wider, 90mm (approx. 3.5") eye port. With the larger eye port opening, the Arai GP-5W uses an exclusive shield.

    Now Snell SA2015 certified, with the new M6 washer/nut installed at the factory. With the 6mm washer/nut installed, anyone can now easily install a variety of Head and Neck Restraint systems that use a 6mm bolt to their helmet. This helmet also comes with the FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner of the helmet.

  • The Arai GP-J3 open face auto racing helmet is another representation of Arai's pursuit of comfort and function in one attractive package whose simplicity and smooth lines belie the complex energy-management system within. The updated and improved shell shape and construction incorporate extended facial coverage with sculpted "FCS" cheek pads for improved support and comfort. The same care and attention that Arai puts into every helmet can be found in the details of the Arai GP-J3 open-face series. The interior fit is typical Arai, benefiting from over 50 years of research and refinement, and resulting in a helmet that more closely matches the shape of the human head. The fit is close but remarkably comfortable, allowing for the smallest possible helmet to be worn for maximum protection. Meets Snell SA2015 & FIA 8859-2015 standards.

  • Being the dominant helmet on the F-1 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. And the Arai SK-6 karting helmet gets the benefits of this input. Designed by Arai specifically for karting, the Arai SK-6 helmet 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 Arai 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’s already there. Snell K2015 certified.
