Helmets & Accessories

Pit Stop USA offers the latest Snell SA2025 and FIA Homologated helmets. A correctly fitted helmet should feel as if an evenly distributed pressure is continuously being exerted around the head and cheeks. Helmets, like shoes, will break in. For this reason, the helmet should fit as tight as you can stand to wear it. Once fastened, make sure the helmet cannot be pulled off of the head in any direction. If the helmet moves significantly, the helmet is too big. First time helmet buyers tend to choose helmets that are too loose or too big. If the helmet does not fit well, it cannot deliver the level of protection you need. The Snell Memorial Foundation, Inc. has finalized its SA2025 Standard for Protective Headgear which applies to auto racing helmets. Although there are several changes in test requirements and procedures from the SA2025 Standard, Snell certified auto racing helmets are very much the same as they have been.

That same forward thinking defines everything we do and is exhibited in every high-performance racing helmet we build.
