  • Jr Kart helmets

    After lots of time on Google, all I've found is that I should ask my club about what helmet requirements are for karts. Are Snell M or K allowed?

    4.3.1 Helmets
    Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course:
    All helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation
    standards (SA2015, SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, SA2000, M2015, M2010,
    M2005, M2000, K2015, K2010, K2005, K98); SFI standards 31.1, 41.1, 31.1A,
    31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A; ECE R22.05; FIA standards 8859-2015, 8860-2010, 8860-
    2004; or British spec BS6658-85 type A are acceptable.
    Full face or modular helmets shall be worn while competing in an open-wheel
    car, formula car, or kart. Face shield, goggles, or similar face protection (conventional
    eyeglasses are not sufficient) shall be worn while competing in any
    other vehicle with less than the standard-size windshield.

    Formula Junior drivers must use helmets meeting the above, SFI 24.1 (Youth
    Helmets), Snell CMR2007 (Children’s Motorsports Restricted), or Snell
    CMS2007 (Children’s Motorsports Standard) specifications. Also, Formula
    Junior helmets must be of closed face design incorporating full face shields
    and chin bars.


    For maximum protection, helmets must fit securely and should provide adequate
    peripheral vision. The chin strap must be securely fastened. Loaner
    helmets should be available to vehicle occupants not having their own.
