The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a flexible tape measure or a piece of string. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, loop around the widest part of the back of your head, and return to the front. Take two or three measurements to ensure accuracy and select the largest measurement.

Additional FAQs

Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?

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.

How can I prevent helmet fogging during races?
Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps prevent fogging.

What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?
Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and helping you maintain focus throughout your race.

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. Helmets should be replaced every 5 years even if no visible damage is present.
