Arai GP5 Helmet

The GP-5 is the newest helmet design from Arai, and is the helmet of choice of numerous top professionals including Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Dario Franchitti. In comparison with the GP-4 the GP-5 is a lighter helmet, and is constructed with Arai's famous SCLC (Super Complex Laminate Construction). The revised chin bar is about 5 mm. longer (downwards), and the new cheek pads have a more rounded shape then previous Arai models. These newly-shaped cheek pads fit better around the cheeks and offer improved comfort for the wearer. Because of the rounded shape of the GP-5 shell, less wind is allowed to enter the helmet thereby offering a reduction in noise. The GP-5 has five ventilation ducts on top of the shell: three front vents and two rear vents. The direction of the ventilation ducts can be changed as to use them as air inlets or air outlets, depending on test results by the wearer. The helmet is lined with navy fireproof Nomex® fabric and uses a patented, flat "double D" ring retention system for greater comfort and safety. The GP-5 also has a new shield type which only fits the new GP-5 shell. While the size of the aperture is the same as for the Snell 95 version GP-4, please note that the visors are not inter-changeable. A new screw set is also available for the GP-5. This new type screw set only fits the GP-5 and is not inter-changeable with other GP models.
