We’ve sold tens of thousands of helmets here at Competition Motorsport and, in the process of doing that, answered a million questions (probably) about them. With that in mind, this article will give you the real lowdown on selecting a proper auto racing helmet. We’ll go over the why’s and how’s of size, shape, certification, pricing, features, and maintenance so you have the tools you need to select the perfect helmet.
If you mount it on or install it in your vehicle for track days or wheel-to-wheel racing, the Competition Motorsport Racecar Gear collection is where you'll find it!
I wore this at Daytona and Sebring and it kept me cool and dry both times. Fit, feel, and finish are all excellent. Buying the pants next.

It fits like a second skin. Doesn’t bunch under the suit, and even after multiple washes, it still feels brand new. Alpinestars nailed it.

Hands down the most comfortable fire shirt I’ve used. No seams digging in, and it moves with your body—not against it.

This shirt is unbelievably light and breathable for a fireproof layer. Wore it in a 95°F sprint race and didn’t feel like I was baking. Worth every penny.

The material feels space-age. Fit is great and airflow is solid, but the price stings a bit. That said, you do get what you pay for.
