Yes Andy. I had them back in 2005 for my bike racing. They gave me 10 helmets for a season free of charge. I did like them but went back to Arai for the next season!

What helmets are others using? I neeed to get one, but Im not spending a fortune.

Arai GP5

I've got a spatrco but need a new one with HANS posts - debating between an Arai GP5K and GP5W - is yours just a plain GP5 Daz? I think the 5k is a cheaper version of that - the w has a wider opening which I thought might be better in a closed car?

Nice helmet Daz....

To be honest the link above seems really good value...most are £200 plus...Think I will order one....any one else interested I will see if we can get a group buy.

Just looked at the Box GP5W W/Peak , so must mean wide peak ... last year it was 399 ish maybe a little cheaper for GPR

I also need the hans posts put on mine tho , so just trying to sort that at the mo ...

Just bought new one last week Shoei X-Spirit. Class looking bit pricey though.

Cheers Daz, that has confirmed it for me, GP5W with a visor for the odd occasion I'm in an open car. Thanks.
