RaceQuip's New Racing Helmets!
RaceQuip's Improved Design
The RaceQuip SA-2010 Full Face helmet is an all new design that incorporates prepreg construction based on steel tooling.In this process, the optimum ratio of resin is impregnated into the composite fabric (a combination of carbon fiber, kevlar, and FRP) prior to moulding. Next, the prepreg is forced into the steel mould using vacuum pressure, then oven cured to precise thermal specifications. This manufacturing technique eliminates excess resin weight and ensures uniform shell thickness while leaving the outer surface smooth and blemish free. The shell is then mated to an expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner to create a modern lightweight helmet design.
RaceQuip's 2010 SA Snell Changes
The Snell Memorial Foundation (www.smf.org) has changed the SA helmet testing procedures to more accurately account for the size and weight of the driver’s head. It is also important to note that the specifications between an SA (auto racing) helmet and an M (motorcycle) helmet have become more divergent, which is why RaceQuip will only offer SA rated helmets for use in auto racing even though some sanctions or tracks may still allow use of an M rated helmet.The SA-2010 design changes have allowed us to re-tool in order to produce our helmets with a more modern production method.
RaceQuip Advanced Features
The RaceQuip Snell SA-2010 Full Face helmet is loaded with many features you would expect to find in a helmet costing much more. These features include a lightweight composite shell, aluminum pivot kit with an adjustable friction lock, plus a silicone shield gasket to keep out dust and dirt. A wide eyeport provides great peripheral vision and allows for the use of personal eyewear. The distortion free low fog polycarbonate face shield is a full 3mm thick and comes with eight position, hand ratcheting tear-off posts. Of course the SA spec means that both the helmet’s paint and interior are fire retardant so the RaceQuip Full Face helmet is suitable for use in the highest forms of auto racing competition. The RaceQuip SA-2010 Full Face helmet incorporates a Kevlar® chin strap for strength, a comfort fit blended Nomex® interior for great feel, and pre-drilled holes for easier installation of head & neck restraint anchors. Wrap all these features in a lightweight aero design composite shell and the result is the outstanding value delivered by the RaceQuip SA-2010 Full Face helmet.
