The go-kart helmet: the driver's number 1 safety asset

Whether you're a racing enthusiast or simply an amateur kart driver, you can't do without a kart helmet. The latter will in any case be required at the start of any race, whatever the level. And with good reason: it is an indispensable safety accessory, protecting your head from possible shocks in the event of an accident. A speed sport like karting involves a certain amount of risk, so it is essential to be equipped for the circumstances.

To ensure your protection, a helmet is made up of several parts, each of which has its own function. The outer shell, or more simply the "shell", is in the front line in the event of an impact. It can be made of different materials, such as fibreglass or carbon, to combine strength and lightness. The visor should not only protect your face and eyes, but also offer the best visibility. In addition to these components, there is also a chinstrap to close the helmet, a ventilation system to regulate the temperature, an interior lining for comfort, etc.

Strict homologation standards

Moreover, in karting, as in other motor sports, helmets are subject to special surveillance. Thus, to guarantee their level of protection, several standards have been created by official bodies. For their part, competition organisers, such as the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) or the FFSA (Fédération Française du Sport Automobile), recognise some of them, which must be complied with in order to take part in their races. Generally speaking, even if you do not intend to take part in a competition, opting for an approved karting helmet ensures you the highest level of protection.

Among these recognised standards are those of the SNELL Foundation. Every five years, this foundation establishes tests based on current knowledge in the field of technology and health. It therefore regularly tests helmets, on several types of shocks, in different conditions of heat or humidity. In addition to these exercises, the FIA standard can be added, which pushes the requirement even further. Similarly, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe defines ECE standards, which apply to all EU countries. Please note, however, that approval standards generally have a validity date. If you wish to take part in a competition, do not forget to check that this date has not passed.

Choosing the right size for your helmet

But for your go-kart helmet to protect you perfectly, it still needs to fit your head! So that you can find the right accessory, we offer you a wide range of sizes, from XXS to XXL. Don't know yours? Don't worry, that's perfectly normal. Especially as the sizes may depend on the manufacturer. So the first thing to do before selecting your model is to measure your head circumference. To do this, take a tape measure and place it around your head at eyebrow level, without forgetting to include your ears. With the measurement obtained (in centimetres), you can then refer to the sizing guide on the ORECA STORE website. For example, for a head circumference of 55 cm, you can opt for size S at Sparco, and XS at Bell. In case of doubt, we recommend that you choose the larger size. Finally, you can also share your passion for karting with your children. Some helmets are available for them, with an adapted size system and specific homologation standards.

The go-kart helmet, a fashion accessory on the track?

Once all the precautions have been taken, all you have to do is choose the design of your karting helmet! ORECA STORE allows you to make your selection among different shapes. And these are not just a question of style. They can also offer a real aerodynamic advantage! It would be a shame to see the qualities of the driver slowed down by a perfectly unprofiled accessory... In our shop, you also have the choice of colour. Here, there is no notion of performance to be taken into account, it's just a matter of taste! You can opt for a sober colour: black or white. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, there is something for everyone: green, yellow, orange...
