If you're looking for a helmet that really gets the job done without all the fluff, the Pyrotect Sportmax DOT Helmet is worth checking out. I've put this thing through its paces, and I can tell you it’s built for comfort and functionality. One of the first things you'll notice is the mid-air design, which gives you some extra clearance inside the car. This might seem minor, but trust me, when you’re strapped in for a long ride, that little bit of space makes a difference.

Now, let’s talk about the communication setup. This helmet comes custom wired with PCI Exclusive Communication components. It features a Grey 5 pin connector that’s compatible with Trax stereo intercom systems, so you can stay connected with your crew without missing a beat. Whether you’re navigating tough trails or just cruising, clear communication is key.

It’s also DOT approved, which is a must for recreational use, though keep in mind it’s not sanctioned for racing. That said, it’s perfect for those weekend adventures or off-road escapades. Plus, it comes with a dust skirt to keep the grit out—because let’s be real, no one enjoys inhaling dirt while they’re trying to enjoy the ride.

Another cool feature is the Midair Raceair fitting, which helps with airflow and keeps you cool when the action heats up. It’s little details like this that make the difference when you're out there pushing your limits.

As for sizing, I’ve got the small size, which fits comfortably and snugly without feeling restrictive. Overall, the 3896 PCI Race Radios Pyrotect Sportmax DOT Midair Helmet is a solid choice for anyone serious about their off-road adventures. If you want something that combines comfort, functionality, and a bit of tech, this helmet has got you covered.

What is PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios has been the leader in off-road and racing communications since 1972. The company takes pride in its extensive field testing, competitive prices, unparalleled customer service, and simplified packages that make communications easy with unmatched support even after the sale. With more than 45 years of experience in the off-road racing industry, PCI Race Radios develops and tests all of its own products. The brand has a full-service technical repair shop at its headquarters in Long Beach, California, and provides trackside, mobile services to its desert enthusiasts at off-road races. PCI Race Radios supports the ASA, CORVA, ORBA, and the San Diego Off-Road Coalition. It also sponsors District 37, SCORE, SNORE, MDR, MORE, CORR, BITD, and provides desert racers with the Weatherman Relay Service. 

PCI Race Radios is a family-owned company that is dedicated to taking the time to both “race and play.” The company tests its products on dirt bikes, motorcycles, quads, rock crawlers, race cars, Raptors, RZRs, Mavericks, and boats. It can, therefore, thoroughly understand consumers’ needs and offer hands-on recommendations from experience.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.

Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
