- The new Arai SA2005 GP-5k helmet is largely based on its big brother, the GP-5, while
offering a more affordable alternative for drivers not wanting all the
features of the more expensive GP-5. The Arai GP-5k is heavily favored by
sedan or rally drivers, who do not require all the upper ventilation
found on the GP-5 while at the same time appreciate the slightly
larger eye port opening (Approximately 10mm - 5mm up and 5mm down).
- Constructed of Arai's exclusive clc (Complex Laminate Construction)
shell technology, which is less costly and slightly heavier than our
lightest Sclc material, allowing for a lower retail cost, while still
providing the same level of impact energy management.
- The interior remains very similar to the previous GP-4 series, with
the addition of approximately 5mm more room in the facial area and
slightly more forehead room. Arai's GP series' utilize a proprietary
flame-retardant interior material known as "Lastan".
- The chin bar area has been modified to incorporate 2 air intake
slots, which have been moved up just under the shield. The now solid
chin bar has some subtle details in the mold and has been extended
down slightly, giving the appearance of a much more robust piece.
- The Arai GP-5K helmet shield is slightly different in shape and size as compared
to the previous GP-4 design, with weight reduction in mind. The Arai
GP-5K helmet shield
mounting hardware is also different from the GP-4.
- Upper ventilation is comprised of a single intake and single exhaust
duct.
- The interior fit is typical Arai, benefiting from years of research
and refinement, resulting in a helmet that more closely matches the
shape of the human head. Such a close fit allows for the smallest
possible helmet to be worn, while still being comfortable. Often times
a poor fitting helmet results in the use of a helmet that is a full
size too large in an effort to avoid painful pressure points.
- Combined with incredible fit and comfort, Arai concentrates on
balance and center of gravity. All too often, people concentrate more
on the weight of a helmet instead of how that weight is distributed
over the entire helmet, how much of the weight is carried down low and
most importantly how that weight is transferred to your head.
- A properly fitted helmet will distribute the weight of the helmet
more evenly over and around your head, making the helmet seem lighter
than it actually is. Arai

- A helmet that is more evenly balanced and carries more of its weight
down low will also appear to be lighter and cause less fatigue.
- The Arai GP-5K helmet is another representation of Arai's
pursuit of a comprehensive package, providing comfort, function in an
attractive package, masking the hidden energy management system
within, with some affordability kept in mind. Because after all, the
thing to remember is that a helmet is worn to take the abuse in the
event of an impact and if necessary be destroyed in that process.
