Composite motorsport helmets are constructed from Multi Sandwich Fibres (MSF) in a design exclusive to Stilo and utilize Kevlar reinforcements.
Although carbon helmets are technically a 'composite', helmets referred to as Composite are made with a less expensive Kevlar sheets but are tested to the same standard. So a Composite helmet tested to FIA-8859 will be as resistant to impacts as a carbon fibre helmet with the same homologation.
Which types of GT and Saloon racing helmets do you retail?
Whether you're competing in British GT or Historic Touring car races, we will have the perfect racing helmet for you.
We are simply the largest retailer of Stilo helmets here in the U.K. This means that professional drivers competing in the British GT Championships through to the Porsche Carrera Cup GB come to us to get the right helmet fitted and to experience the world-class customer service we are known for offering here at Nicky Grist.
Stilo designs, engineers, and produces helmets that are specifically designed for GT and touring car competitions. Therefore, one moment we could be working with a BTCC driver; and then the next call to our sales room could be from a driver who competes in TCR UK racing and requires a new composite or carbon fibre racing helmet fitting at our dedicated helmet showroom.
This page is dedicated to composite GT and Saloon racing helmets. These racing helmets offer excellent value for money and are not as expensive as a full carbon-fibre helmet. The shell is made of a very innovative composite blend, which means it's still very lightweight yet much less expensive to produce.
What makes the Stilo ST6 range of composite helmets well-suited to GT and Saloon car racing?
Regardless of which type of motorsport you compete in, whether it’s the Porsche Carrera Cup or British GT, you're going to want to keep your head as well-ventilated and cool as is feasibly possible during a competitive circuit race at say Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donnington, and Oulton Park circuits.
This is just one of the reasons drivers turn to Stilo’s ST6 range of helmets, as they offer improved ventilation, which helps air flow, helping to reduce the feeling of being hot and damp due to perspiration.
Then there’s the padding: the ST6 range of saloon and GT helmets is among the most comfortable on the market, and drivers love how light and comfortable these GT helmets are to wear during a saloon car race or just completing for long periods on practice laps.
These helmets also have improved and upgraded cheek padding added to the helmet, which also contributes to making them supremely comfortable to wear. In our opinion, this is what makes the difference between your run-of-the-mill saloon racing helmets and Stilo: that’s the comfort level Stilo can offer is superior to many other saloon helmets on the market.
Then there’s Stilo’s wealth of knowledge, Stilo produced the ST5 line-up of saloon and also GT helmets. This was quite simply a rip-roaring success around the globe and sold in the many thousands of units. The ST6 then builds on that solid success to make the helmets even lighter, cooler for the occupant and therefore much more comfortable.
