Model #GP5WSA20
THE FAVORITE OF STOCK CAR, SEDAN, AND RALLY DRIVERS: The GP-5W is favored by stock car, sedan, and rally drivers because of its wider, 90mm (approx. 3.5") eye port. With the larger eye port opening, the GP-5W uses an exclusive shield.
Now Snell SA2020 certified, with the new M6 washer/nut installed at the factory. With the 6mm washer/nut installed, anyone can now easily install a variety of Head and Neck Restraint systems that use a 6mm bolt to their helmet. This helmet also comes with the FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner of the helmet.
Product Features and Specifications
SCLC Construction
It's constructed of Arai's exclusive, very-lightweight ScLc shell technology (Super Complex Laminate Construction), so it maintains a low overall weight to offset the added weight of the larger shield.
Shell Shape
It has a smaller, more "natural" head shape, and a lower center of gravity to balance and stabilize the helmet so it feels even lighter, thereby helping to reduce fatigue.
Interior Fit
The interior fit is typical Arai, benefitting from over 50 years of research and refinement, and resulting in a helmet that, as mentioned previously, more closely matches the shape of the human head. The first is snug, allowing for the smallest possible helmet to be worn while still being comfortable.
Wider Eyeport
Larger 90mm eyeport, top to bottom, than comparable Arai models, provides a better vertical view desired by many sedan drivers. For drivers not needing a shield, a visor peak option is available.
Removable / Replaceable Cheekpads
The cheekpads are removable and washable for easier cleaning. More importantly, they're replaceable with optional sizes of varying thicknesses for a more custom, personalized fit.
Ventilation
The upper ventilation system incorporates two large intake ducts and the same two exhaust vent ducts found on the GP-5(PED). This vent system allows for improved air flow even within the confines of a sedan or closed cockpit.
MG Anchor Type
Integrated seats to accommodate a variety of Head and Neck Restraint devices. Pre-Installed M6 threaded washer/nut, with 6mm threads, to accept a variety of anchors systems for variety of Head and Neck Restraint devices and make installation much easier for people not familiar with such installations. Flat surface area around the mounting nut to allow the anchor post base to rest flush with the helmet surface around the entire perimeter of the anchor base. FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner material.
Options Include
Standard shields in Clear, Light Tint, Dark Smoke; Anti- Fog Shields in Clear, Light Tint, Dark Smoke; and Tear-Offs in 5-Pack (10 mil thick) and 10-Pack (5 mil thick).
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
Arai Helmet is a Japanese company that specializes in manufacturing helmets for motorcycles and other motorsport use. The company’s history can be traced back to the 1900s when Yuichiro Arai produced kepi-style caps. When the company was taken over by his son Hirotake Arai in 1930, he produced sun barrier caps for the military.
After the war, the company started making shirts and overalls and also made safety helmets for construction workers. As an avid motorcyclist himself, he, later on, decided to create helmets specifically designed for motorcycle use, and the rest is history. Today, Arai is one of the most recognized brands when it comes to helmets worldwide.
Throughout the years, the company has continuously improved and developed its helmet design to make it safer for riders. Their product has been used by many racers since the 1970s and has helped in saving a lot of lives of many drivers from different racing disciplines.
All Arai helmets are hand-built with each having a fibre reinforced plastic shell incorporated with multiple reinforcing parts, creating a round base known as the “Bird’s nest”. Using their own patented moulding process, the shells are then assembled inside a concave metal mould. Their keen attention to detail has made their product one of the best helmets in the market.
The company ensures that all its products meet all required standards such as the Snell Memorial Foundation safety standard and the FIA requirement for multiple motorsport events such as Formula 1.
When it comes to helmets, there is no other brand more synonymous with safety than Arai. They have been making quality helmets for more than a century and is trusted by top racers and enthusiasts all around the globe.
