Snell SA2025 Certified Racing Protection

The OMP GP-A is certified to Snell SA2025, providing protection tested to the current Snell automotive racing helmet standard.

This certification establishes performance requirements for helmet impact protection and additional safety characteristics relevant to automobile competition.

The GP-A is designed for motorsport events that accept Snell SA2025-rated full-face helmets, making it an excellent option for drivers upgrading their existing equipment or purchasing their first competition helmet.

Important: The OMP GP-A SA2025 is listed with Snell certification. FIA 8859-2024 homologation is not specified for this model. Always confirm your sanctioning organization's current helmet requirements before racing.

Lightweight Carbon-Fiberglass Composite Shell

The OMP GP-A features a premium carbon-fiberglass composite shell engineered to balance structural strength, impact resistance, and overall weight.

By incorporating advanced composite materials, OMP delivers durable racing helmet construction without the premium pricing associated with dedicated full-carbon motorsport helmets.

The shell works together with the internal impact liner to provide the protective performance required by its Snell SA2025 certification.

For drivers competing in extended sessions, the helmet's composite construction and secure fit help support comfort throughout demanding racing conditions.

Advanced Single-Piece Energy-Absorbing Impact Liner

Inside the GP-A is an advanced single-density, single-piece impact liner designed to maximize energy absorption during a motorsport incident.

This protective component works together with the composite outer shell to manage impact forces.

Proper helmet sizing is critical for maintaining the intended protective performance of the shell and liner.

A correctly fitted helmet should remain securely positioned around the head without excessive movement or uncomfortable pressure points.

Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling With Integrated Chin-Bar Gurney

The OMP GP-A incorporates an integrated front chin-bar gurney designed to support aerodynamic stability.

The helmet's aggressive profile combines purposeful racing aesthetics with functional airflow management.

Its integrated aerodynamic features help manage airflow around the front of the helmet during high-speed driving.

This configuration makes the GP-A an attractive choice for drivers seeking a race-ready helmet with modern appearance and built-in aerodynamic functionality.

Advanced Multi-Point Ventilation System

The GP-A features a comprehensive ventilation system designed to improve driver comfort during demanding racing conditions.

Airflow enters through the helmet's forehead vents, upper chin-bar openings, and six upper air intakes.

Rear-facing lower chin-bar vents support additional airflow exchange and help manage ventilation around the driver's face.

This arrangement provides multiple airflow paths rather than relying on a single intake location.

The system is particularly useful during warm-weather racing, extended driving sessions, and motorsport events where ventilation contributes to driver comfort.

Six Top Air Intakes for Improved Cooling

The upper section of the OMP GP-A incorporates six air intake openings designed to support effective ventilation.

These intakes work with the helmet's forehead and chin-bar ventilation features to encourage airflow through the interior.

Improved airflow can help reduce heat buildup while maintaining the comfortable fit needed during extended track sessions.

The GP-A's six-intake configuration is specific to this model and differs from other OMP helmets with different ventilation layouts.

Medium-Wide Eyeport for Racing Visibility

The OMP GP-A uses a medium-wide eyeport designed to provide a practical field of vision while maintaining the helmet's full-face protective design.

Its eyeport allows drivers to monitor surrounding traffic, mirrors, cockpit instruments, and corner workers during competitive driving.

The eyeport works with the OMP V1 shield system to provide clear visibility and convenient replacement shield compatibility.

OMP V1 Racing Shield and Pivot System

The GP-A uses the OMP V1 shield and pivot system, designed specifically for compatible OMP racing helmet applications.

The shield incorporates a positive sealing arrangement to help maintain closure during motorsport use.

Compatible replacement shields are available separately in selected configurations, depending on manufacturer availability.

Drivers should use genuine or approved OMP V1 shield components and matching pivot hardware.

Always verify compatibility before purchasing tinted shields, replacement hardware, or other visor accessories.

Synthetic Rubber Eyeport Gasket for Dust and Water Resistance

The OMP GP-A features a synthetic rubber gasket around the visor opening.

The gasket helps create a protective seal between the racing shield and helmet shell when the visor is properly closed.

This design helps reduce unwanted dirt, water, and debris entering the helmet.

Its sealing performance is particularly useful in changing weather conditions and dirt racing environments.

Inspect the gasket and shield hardware regularly to ensure they remain in proper condition.

Comfortable Fire-Resistant Interior

The OMP GP-A includes a black high-strength, high-comfort fire-resistant interior designed for competitive motorsport use.

The interior combines supportive cushioning with a secure fit to help maintain comfort during extended racing sessions.

A correctly fitted helmet should provide even pressure around the head while remaining stable during movement.

Follow OMP's recommended interior care instructions to preserve the condition of the comfort materials.

HANS and FHR Compatibility With M6 Mounting Terminals

The OMP GP-A includes factory-installed M6 threaded terminals designed for compatible frontal head restraint anchors.

These mounting provisions allow approved HANS/FHR anchor hardware to be installed without modifying the helmet shell.

FHR compatibility is an important consideration for drivers participating in racing events requiring approved head-and-neck restraint systems.

Important: The GP-A includes M6 mounting terminals, but the actual HANS/FHR anchor posts are sold separately.

Always follow the anchor manufacturer's installation instructions and verify compatibility with your specific restraint system.

Designed for Dirt, Pavement, GT, and Club Racing

The OMP GP-A is designed as a multi-purpose racing helmet suitable for a variety of automotive motorsport applications.

Its lightweight composite shell, advanced ventilation, aerodynamic design, and Snell SA2025 certification make it appropriate for many forms of racing.

• Road Racing
• GT and Touring Car Racing
• Club Racing
• Dirt Track Racing
• Formula Racing
• Time Trials
• High-Performance Driving Events
• Track Days
• Driving Schools

Always confirm that the helmet's certification and design meet the requirements of your specific series or event.
