Stilo Helmet Sizes

Stilo helmets are available in different shell sizes within the range of full face and open face helmets. ST5 helmets (full face) come in two shell sizes: small and large. The small shell covers all sizes from 54 (XS) to 59 (L). The large shell is size 60 (L+) to 64 (XXXL) The only exceptions to this are the ST5 CMR junior karting helmet which is only available in a new reduced size (narrower) small shell from 54 (XS) to 59 (L).

In Venti WRC, WRX and Trophy (open face) models, Stilo have developed a third (medium) shell size to keep mass and weight as minimal as possible for the most popular of sizes, 59 and 61. So now, for this range, 54 (XS) to 58 (L) are in a small shell, 59 (L) and 61 (XL) are in the new medium shell and 63 (XXL) and 64 (XXXL) are in the large size shell. Another development from Stilo in the new Venti range is that for the first time, Carbon, 8860 and Zero models are all available in the largest size shell, something not previously available in the outgoing models and this is also a size that other open face helmet brands do not offer.

Stilo Venti and ST5 helmets generally are a little tighter fitting than some other brands, so do bear this in mind when choosing your helmet size and speak with us if you need some help on this.

With the new Stilo Sport range of clubman open face helmets, there are two shell sizes, XS-M are covered by the small shell size and L & XL are covered by the large shell. One point to note is that the internal linings of the Stilo Sport range are a different fit to the WRC helmets, and the fit is a little more relaxed and are more true to size.

How To Measure Your Head

At Nicky Grist Motorsports we understand the importance of a well fitting helmet. Get it right and you are on a fast track to optimum performance, but get it wrong and you’ll suffer distractions and discomfort that can put your safety at risk.

The key thing to remember is not to simply take the circumference measurement and buy a helmet based on that size. We need to look at the width and length of your head also, as that does affect the helmet size you need.

To measure your head as accurately as possible and to help us provide you with the optimum fit, please measure as shown below and make a note of your sizing to send to us. Always wear a balaclava when taking head measurement for a helmet as the extra 2-3mm does make a difference to the circumference measurement and it also presses your ears nice and close to your head.

1. Circumference

Measure around your head with a tape measure. This must be above the ear and while you are wearing a hood (if you use one).

2. Length

Using callipers or similar device, measure the front to back of your head. This needs to be the furthest away points.

3. Width

Again use a tool of fabricated device to measure the width of your head at the widest points.

Callipers

These are quite a specific tool and we appreciate that not everyone will have a set lying around. If you are stuck, you might be able to fabricate something, but please get in touch and we can advise you further.

If you need any more help and advice, please don't hesitate to contact us:

Description

Stilo ST5 FN VB (Valtteri Bottas) Edition - Size 57cm ONLY!

The VB is a helmet designed around the head of Valtteri Bottas and actually features a narrower and smaller shell than the already compact Zero model. It may be possible to size this helmet down for a smaller head, but due to the shell size, it can be made no larger than 57. But if you want a no-compromise solution, this is it.

Stilo ST5 Zero ABP

Newly released in 2019, the Stilo ST5 FN Zero ABP is the answer to the rigours of F1 use. You may have noticed that as of 2019 competitors no longer have the strip above the visor on their helmets. This Zylon strip was used to protect the vulnerable area between the top of the visor and the helmet and was introduced after a crash where Felipe Massa sustained substantial damage from track debris at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Not only does the ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) negate the need for a Zylon strip, but it also raises the standard for impact testing. ABP is a military spec test where a projectile is shot at 250 km/h and the helmet has to repel it. So in short, if you're looking for the strongest, lightest and arguably most stylish motorsport helmet, you've landed on the right web page.

Stilo has managed to retain the ST5's class-leading small shell, meaning you won't take up more space in the car than you need to and it's also among the lightest on the market.

ABP is a requirement for world-class formula racing. So F1, F2 and Formula E will require this rating. However, as with all standards, we can see this trickling down to become commonplace for most series'.

Many drivers will appreciate the beauty of such a well-crafted item with its low weight meaning less lateral G's in a corner or the unfortunate event of a crash, while others will rest assured by the strength of the shell, but opting for a Stilo ST5 Zero helmet will give the look and the performance that world-class drivers expect and demand.

Please note: All Zero helmets are made to order so will need to be ordered around 3-4 weeks before they are needed.
