For
2017
Sparco
introduces
an
all-new
range
of
helmets.
The
new
helmet
line
is
a
result
of
over
40
years
of
research
and
development
experience,
including
wind
tunnel
testing.
The
new
range
was
designed
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
new
FIA
8859-2015
and
New
Snell
SA2015
ratings.
The
2015
type-approval
introduces
new
impact
requirements,
the
helmets
need
to
dissipate
large
amounts
of
energy
in
different
ways.
To
meet
these
requirements
Sparco
is
introducing
new
innovations
for
driver
safety
and
comfort.
All
shells
now
have
layers
of
carbon-Kevlar
for
greater
strength.
The
helmets
have
also
been
wind-tunnel
tested
to
maximize
exterior
vent
placement
and
flow.
The
EPS
interiors
and
padding
have
also
been
redesigned
for
increased
airflow
and
driver
comfort.
Sparco
also
introduces
a
new
size:
Medium/Large.
This
M/L
size
takes
advantage
of
using
the
smaller
shell
which
is
lighter
and
more
compact.
The
Sky
RF-7W
has
a
carbon
fiber
outer
shell
reinforced
with
layers
of
carbon-Kevlar.
It
includes
a
wider
eye
opening
that
can
be
used
for
open
wheel
or
closed
cockpit
driving.
Multiple
exterior
vents
increase
circulation
to
a
redesigned
interior.
The
interior
has
channels
which
not
only
cool
the
driver,
but
has
additional
channels
which
route
air
towards
the
visor,
which
reduces
the
chance
of
visor
fogging.
Sky
RF-7W
has
removable,
washable
padding
that
can
be
repositioned
for
a
comfortable
fit.
All
interior
seams
have
been
removed
from
areas
where
greater
pressure
is
exerted
on
the
head.
The
Sky
RF-7W
has
been
designed
to
accommodate
a
drink
tube
and
an
intercom
system.
Available
in
sizes
XS
to
XL
(new
size
M/L).
Sky
RF-7W
has
Hans
clips
pre-installed.
FIA
8859-2015
