Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.

Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
What is the best helmet for kart racing? The Stilo ST6 CMR Carbon Lite kart helmet is widely considered one of the best youth karting helmets, offering premium features for serious kart racers.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I choose the right size Kart Racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to the sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.
What safety standards should I look for in a youth kart racing helmet? Look for the FIA CMR-2106 certification for karting.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.
Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet?Yes. Wide eye ports, make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.
Can I use a used helmet for racing?It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.
How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.
What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?
Snell K2020 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards.

Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?
Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible.

Stilo ST5.1 GT Composite Racing Helmet
The Most Customizable Helmet in the World
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Composite is Stilo's Snell SA2020 version of their best-selling kevlar-carbon composite helmet. With an autoclave molded shell, the Stilo ST5.1 GT Composite auto racing helmet offers superior safety and protection compared to fiberglass and composites of competitors helmets. You get all this without sacrificing comfort or features, as Stilo continues to focus on minimizing weight and maximizing flexibility.
With its large eye port, the Stilo ST5.1 GT Composite offers unsurpassed peripheral vision and all of the available tinted, mirrored, and iridium-colored visors (sold separately) have a center pinch-clip to make opening and closing easy, even while wearing nomex racing gloves.
Although updated to meet the newest Snell SA2020 certification, the Stilo ST5.1 GT retains its FIA 8858-2015 homologation as well. This makes the helmet legal for nearly all road race usage (although some sanctioning bodies require FIA 8860 homologated helmets.)
Flexibility and Functionality Built In
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Composite is unsurpassed in built-in flexibility. Its two side ports can be fitted with 3 different types of integrated communication electronics, forced air, helmet eject system, or a hydration system. Thanks to its innovative shell design, mounting and routing these options to the Stilo ST5.1 GT is sleek and seamless. When not in use, you don't even know the features are there.
Whether you're using side-mounted communications, side air, or a built-in hydration kit for staying hydrated during long enduro stints, everything is neat, tidy and completely out of the way when not needed. Stilo offers simply the best modular racing helmet on the market.
Additional shields in many tints and colors can be added in the dropdown above.
Industry-standard M6 threaded receivers are molded into the helmet shell to accommodate anchors for whichever head-and-neck restraint you use.
Note: We have found that customers who typically wear a size 59 in other brands are most comfortable in a Stilo size 60, which uses the larger shell. Please order accordingly.

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.
