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 size 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.

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.

Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.

Stilo ST6 GT Composite SA2025 Racing Helmet Notice - due to ongoing customs processing constraints, some sizes and colors are currently on back order and may not ship for several weeks.  Rest assured we have hundreds of Stilo ST6 on order with the factory in Italy and will process incoming restock containers as quickly as possible.  If timing is critical for your delivery, please contact us to confirm current inventory levels of your desired size and color at time of order to confirm the shipment date.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. The legendary Stilo composite—lighter, cooler, clearer For over 25 years, Stilo has led racing-helmet innovation and the ST6 line marks a bold new chapter. With input from top programs, engineers refined front and top aerodynamics for stability at speed. The ST6 GT Composite emphasizes airflow, visibility, and long-stint comfort while meeting modern safety targets. From track-tested aero to a dual-lock visor system, every update is about confidence in the car. The ST6 improves on the market-leading ST5 in key areas: ~10% lighter than Stilo ST5 ~26% more airflow than Stilo ST5 ~11% wider downward visibility Refined liner and cheek pads More shell sizes to optimize weight Reworked visor construction for durability and easy care Updated visor hardware for smoother actuation Stilo ST6 GT Composite Auto Racing Helmet Features Puro Tech: Stilo's composite process minimizes extra coatings to reduce mass without compromising protection. Added shell size: now offered in three shell sizes, the ST6 GT helps deliver the smallest, lightest shell appropriate for your head size. Increased airflow design: redesigned front intake and top vents route air through EPS channels to reduce sweat and moisture. Increased downward visibility: a wider field of view speeds up belt fastening and improves situational awareness. Interior comfort: revised cheek padding stabilizes fit and comfort at speed. Injection molded visor: clear optics with a washable high-performance anti-fog treatment. Dual visor lock: compliant with FIA standards in both closed and vent positions. Updated visor hardware: smoother actuation and easier installation; available in anodized finishes. Stilo Helmets ST6 GT Composite Helmet Details Manufacturer: Stilo Helmets Manufacturer part number: AA0800AF2X Homologation: FIA 8858-2015 Certification: Snell SA2025 Compatible shields: Stilo ST6 helmet shields Noise-attenuating earmuffs Stilo ST6 Size & Measurement Customers who typically wear a size 59 in other brands are often most comfortable in a Stilo size 61 (large shell). If you’re between sizes, many drivers prefer the tighter option for stability. What’s Changing in SA2025 Auto Racing Helmets? SA2025 helmets are here, and while the changes may not be groundbreaking, they represent an important evolution in motorsport safety. According to the Snell Memorial Foundation, the SA2025 standard is an evolutionary update from SA2020—not a complete overhaul. Unlike the M2025 motorcycle standard, which adds rotational impact testing, the SA2025 auto racing helmet standard does not include rotational force requirements. Key SA2025 Helmet Safety Enhancements: Increased Impact Protection: SA2025 helmets are required to handle slightly higher impact speeds and achieve lower maximum peak G-force thresholds across all head-form sizes. Global FIA Alignment: These updated requirements bring the SA2025 standard into alignment with the new FIA 8859-2024 helmet safety regulation, creating more consistency across international motorsports. In short: SA2025 helmets are designed to offer enhanced linear impact protection, making them the safest Snell-rated auto racing helmets to date. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend track day enthusiast, upgrading to an SA2025-certified helmet ensures compliance with future racing regulations and gives you peace of mind at speed. Stilo ST6 GT Composite SA2025 Helmet FAQs Is this Snell SA2025 certified? Yes, this listing reflects SA2025 certification for U.S. auto racing. What’s the difference between GT and FN? GT includes earmuffs for noise reduction and comms; FN is open-ear for maximum awareness and airflow. Can I reuse ST5 shields? No, the ST6 uses its own shield family; choose ST6-specific shields and hardware. Ships with signature required.
