About G-FORCE Helmets

G-FORCE Racing Gear has established a significant market share in US auto racing by offering a high quality competition racing helmet at a reasonable price. G-FORCE racing helmets offer everything from open face style to the top of the line aero breath deflector models.

G-FORCE Racing Gear builds the best helmet at an affordable price. Check out how our quality and features blow the competition away.

Snell SA2000-M2000:

Our customers and race drivers invariably ask the same question – what is the difference between helmet certification. All Snell tests for these specifications include multiple impact tests at 20 degrees, 78degrees (dry and wet) and 120 degrees. The Snell M2000 specification is the base for the specs. The SA2000 is used primarily for auto racing – adds not only the thicker shield, but also flame retardant paint, trim, retention strap and interior. The SnellSA2000 helmet also meets an additional rollbar impact test.

Composite Z38 lightweight shell:

Made from a Kevlar/fibreglass composite with a specially designed resign. This means less weight on your shoulders and less energy spent holding your head up.

Reinforced mounting points:

G-FORCE Racing Gear was the first to have special reinforced mounting points for a helmet restraint built into the helmet.

Mirror paint finish:

The standard of quality that outshines all of our competitors. Every helmet receives multiple coats of paint and clearcoat. Each coat is hand sanded with the top coat specifically buffed to produce a show car finish. Our extra attention to this detail gives our customers a helmet that withstands the punishment only a race environment can produce.

Hi tech G78 impact liner:

Provides superior impact resistance compared to the liners used by our competitors.

G-Flow ventilation:

Our helmets have a well engineered ventilation system for maximum driver comfort.  Together with Fresh Air Systems Technologies® the Force Air helmet for excellent air flow right out of the box.

Room for eyeglasses:

Our research and development team designed eyeports to accept glasses in our new comfort fit system. No more will you have to push or bend wire frame glasses on your face or lose skin trying to fit them under the helmet. Our system works every time for the wearer.

CoolTec Fire Retardent interior:

This material used in our SA series helmets provides unequalled protection for the driver. CoolTec is a new flame retardant material that is soft and hypoallergenic to the skin and outperforms most other products.

Optically correct moulded shield with scratch resistant S231 coating:

A specially designed mirror polished mould produces race shields that are optically correct and free of distortion. Most manufacturers cut their shields from a sheet and lay it on a form in an oven. Have you ever bent a sheet of plastic and noticed how it distorts your view? G-FORCE Racing Gear designed and built a special mould so you have a clear view on the track. All our shields are coated with a special resistant coating.

Thick Shield Protection:

G-FORCE Racing Gear was the first manufacturer to include at no extra cost the same thick shield required on Snell SA rated rated helmets on all of our Shell M rated helmets. The competition uses thinner shields on their M rated helmets.

SpeedFit shield:

G-FORCE Racing Gear is the first manufacturer to develop the SpeedFit shield for Snell SA rated auto racing helmets. This new design allows the shield to be changed in a matter of seconds and without the use of any tool.

Breath deflector:

G-FORCE Racing Gear has engineered a unique breath deflector for our helmets. It will keep your shield fog free and is easily removed for cleaning. This will give you a clear view, even on humid days and evenings. Most helmet manufacturers sell a breath deflector as an expensive option while others do not offer one. It is standard on our  range of full face helmets.

SRS-1 Helmet Restraint System ..... click here

 The research and development team at G-FORCE Racing Gear spent over two years designing the SRS-1. The design parameters were driver safety and comfort, ease of use, trouble free entry to and from race car, performance comparable to other competing devices and a price that would not break the bank. The end result is that the G-FORCE R&D team met or exceeded all of these parameters. The SRS-1 was also designed as a complete system to be used in concert with an approved helmet. All approved helmets come with attachment points for the SRS-1 and have to meet Snell or SF1 certification with the attachment points manufactured into the helmet. They must pass a test that helps ensure the attachment points minimum integrity. This is a problem with other add on type devices.

The G-FORCE SRS-1 helmet restraint device consists of a cable that attaches to the helmet. This cable attachment allows the driver with freedom of movement to turn their head from side to side. Another benefit to this freedom of movement is that under braking, it helps hold your head up for less driver fatigue. The cable is attached to the restraint strap.

The restraint strap will have a specific length for each driver and may possibly be different for each race car the driver uses. The restraint straps are available in half inch increments and additional restraint straps maybe purchased separately.

The reaction rod is attached to the other end of the restraint strap. It is encased in a fire retardant material that helps centre the rod under the seatbelts behind the driver’s head. Based on how the seatbelts are configured and what type of driver’s seat is selected, the reaction rod is available in one inch increments 9 to 13 inches.

The SRS-1 kit will come with a 12inch reaction rod and Velcro strap that is used to perform a measure to determine what length restraint strap is required. Read the instructions with the SRS-1 and determine which parts are needed. Return the enclosed form and any parts that need to be exchanged to G-FORCE Racing Gear and the correct parts will be sent to you to complete your SRS-1.

The G-FORCE Racing Gear SRS-1 has been sled tested at Delphi, Wayne State University and other labs. Many experts today agree that over 4000 Newtons or force pulling on the neck may cause injury. The results from Wayne University used a stock car type seating arrangement with no side supports for the head and rib supports. The test was a 50G pulse at the driver’s seat. This may not sound like much, but it is akin to hitting a concrete wall and stopping with a 50G impact. This is a lot of force. The object of this test is to stay under 4120 Newtons of force (FzN).
