Lightweight Autoclave-Molded Carbon Fiber Construction
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Carbon uses advanced carbon fiber construction developed to deliver professional-grade strength while minimizing helmet weight.
Its autoclave-molded shell offers an excellent balance of structural integrity, impact performance, and lightweight comfort.
Reducing the weight supported by the driver's head and neck can improve comfort during extended driving sessions, particularly under repeated cornering, braking, and acceleration forces.
Stilo developed the ST5 GT Carbon with two shell sizes, allowing smaller helmet sizes to use a more compact shell rather than unnecessary padding inside an oversized design.
The natural carbon fiber finish showcases the helmet's premium construction while maintaining a distinctive professional racing appearance.
Expanded Eyeport for Superior Racing Visibility
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Carbon features an enlarged eyeport designed to improve visibility compared with the previous ST4 helmet generation.
The taller opening provides additional peripheral and downward vision, helping drivers remain aware of mirrors, surrounding traffic, corner workers, and cockpit controls.
The generous eyeport design can also be beneficial for drivers who wear prescription glasses, subject to individual fit.
Combined with the clear 3mm shield, the ST5.1 GT Carbon is designed to provide clear sightlines during sprint races, endurance events, club competition, and high-performance driving.
Integrated Communication, Hydration, and Forced-Air Ports

Communication systems, forced-air kits, hydration equipment, and other accessories are sold separately.
Clear 3mm Anti-Fog Shield and Center Locking System
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Carbon comes equipped with a clear 3mm shield featuring an anti-fog treatment designed to help maintain visibility during changing cockpit temperatures and racing conditions.
The helmet uses Stilo's multi-function center shield locking system, allowing drivers to operate the shield while wearing racing gloves.
Compatible Stilo ST5 replacement shields are available in different colors and tint options, providing additional flexibility for different lighting conditions.
Optional aerodynamic shield accessories and replacement hardware are also available for compatible ST5 configurations.
Noise-Attenuating Ear Cups for Racing Communications
Excessive cockpit noise can make communication difficult during competitive racing.
The Stilo ST5.1 GT Carbon incorporates removable noise-attenuating earmuff cushions designed to reduce sound around the driver's ears.
This feature improves comfort and provides an effective foundation for compatible in-ear communication systems.
With optional Stilo electronics installed, drivers can configure the helmet for communication with pit crews and race engineers without exposed wiring interfering with their driving position.
The earmuff cushions can also be removed or adjusted to accommodate individual comfort preferences.

Removable cheek and crown padding allow drivers to customize helmet fit using compatible Stilo replacement components.
