The RaceQuip 9243 Matrix helmet is a hand laid Kevlar option in the popular VESTA15 full face helmet series. The VESTA15 design is a bold departure from traditional auto racing helmet styling and now it's lighter than ever. The VESTA15 Matrix helmet is dual certified to both Snell SA2015 and FIA 8859 specifications. The contemporary design paired with modern production techniques creates a balance between light weight and affordability. The Matrix lands in between the VESTA15 and the Carbon Fiber VESTA15 in terms of weight and pricing. This innovative new helmet features a shell comprised of hand laid Kevlar fabric along with a durable epoxy resin to assure a lightweight shell with a superior finish. A uniquely shaped chin bar supports a scalloped faceshield design. Reinforced M6 threaded HANS/FHR inserts are mated to the shell along with an expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner. HANS or other head and neck restraint device anchor posts (not included) can be easily attached to the outside of the helmet using the installed M6 threaded inserts. The distortion free 3mm polycarbonate faceshield features a molded thumb catch, aluminum pivot kit, hand ratcheting TearOff posts, and a silicone eyeport gasket to seal out dust and dirt. A wide eyeport provides good peripheral vision and allows the use of personal eyewear. Additionally, an extra set of thicker cheek pads are included to allow a customized fit. The dual Snell SA and FIA ratings means that the Nomex? interior, Kevlar ? chin strap, and exterior paint are fire retardant so the RaceQuip VESTA15 Carbon Helmet is suitable for use in all forms of motorsports. The comfort fit blended Nomex? interior along with exhaust vents on the top and back of the shell help keep your scalp cool. All these features are wrapped in a lightweight shell with aggressive styling that results in the outstanding value delivered by the RaceQuip VESTA15 Carbon. Available in sizes Small - 2XL
