Arai SKV-R Helmet, White, K-2025

Designed by Arai specifically for karting, the SKV-R adds a ton of features and advancements to the already-impressive list of its predecessor, the Sk-6. You won’t believe the comfort, lightness, and feeling of confidence the SK-6 gives you, thanks to its incredibly strong and smooth, proprietary cLc (Complex Laminate Construction) shell, and it's Egg-Shaped Foam (ESF). Its strength allowed Arai to give the SKV-R an extremely soft EPS liner for better comfort and impact energy management. If you’re serious about taking your karting to the next level, choose the helmet that’s already there.

Description

Features

GP-VAS Shield System: The GP-VAS System was developed to lower the shield pivot point and still open fully without contacting the shell, resulting in improved impact absorption performance in the FIA Standards' impact absorption test. Additionally, the highest point of the new shield in the closed position is 17mm lower than the previous model increasing the area of smooth surface above and improving it's glancing off ability.
Shield Center Lock: The new center shield lock allows effortless function for both drivers and safety crew, from either side, with a positive lock that keeps the shield locked even when receiving an impact.
Taller Field of View: To enhance visibility, the bottom of the eye port was cut lower for better visibility of critical gauges. Thanks to the experience of our R&D team, approximately 8mm of view at the bottom of the eye port was added without affecting the protection ability of the helmet.
System Interior Padding: The new removable liner allows for better airflow, easier cleaning and fitment adjustment. A 7mm dense foam pad and 5mm soft foam pad on both sides of the head liner can be removed for an adjustment of up to two sizes.
Cheek Pads: Redesigned cheek pads allow for easy microphone installation, with a small hole provided in the cover to allow for smooth routing and a clean look.
Wider View Precut: New for the GPV-R is a small precut portion of the upper corner of the cheek pad. When removed, this reduces upper cheek bone pressure, allowing glasses to rest more naturally.
Ventilation Duct: The ventilation holes on the top of the helmet have been moved forward 15mm from the previous design, achieving better ventilation without compromising protection ability.
