Frequently Asked Questions
What type of homologation should a racing helmet have?
The type of homologation required depends on the relevant motorsport governing body, competition and regulations. In our range, you will find, amongst others, racing helmets with FIA 8859-2015 and SNELL 2020 homologation.What does FIA 8859-2015 mean?
FIA 8859-2015 is a standard set by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) for certain motorsport helmets. A helmet homologated to this standard meets defined safety and construction requirements for its intended use in motorsport.Are racing helmets HANS-compatible?
Many modern racing helmets are designed for use with a HANS system or a compatible head-and-neck restraint system. You should check the manufacturer’s specifications to see whether a particular model is compatible.
What should I look out for when buying a racing helmet?
Key criteria include homologation, the correct size and fit, weight, ventilation, field of vision and compatibility with the rest of your safety equipment. It is also crucial that the helmet is suitable for your specific area of use and complies with the applicable regulations.
How should a racing helmet fit?
A racing helmet should fit snugly and evenly around the head without causing any uncomfortable pressure points. It must not shift noticeably when the head moves. Manufacturers’ size specifications may vary – so you should refer to the relevant size chart.
Can I also use a racing helmet for track days?
That depends on the requirements of the specific track day organiser. You should therefore check before the event which helmet standards are accepted. Even if a helmet is approved for a particular track day, this does not automatically mean it is approved for every motorsport event.
How long can a racing helmet be used for?
The permitted or recommended service life depends on the manufacturer, homologation, condition and the specific event regulations. Following a severe impact, a helmet should always be professionally inspected and, if necessary, replaced – even if no external damage is visible.
Helmets homologated to FIA 8859-2015 are valid until 2035. Helmets homologated to SNELL 2020 currently have no expiry date.
