We often talk about our Formula 1 helmets being the best in the market, and it’s not just a nice slogan for us. It is simply a reality.
What Are F1 Replica Helmet Materials Made Of?
All our Formula 1 helmets are made of nautical resin and fiberglass, ensuring we offer you the lightest and strongest helmets in the market.
Differences Between Authentic and Replica Materials
Authentic Formula 1 helmets are made true to the FIA’s regulations. The materials used for those helmets are kevlar, carbon fiber and shock-absorbing foam.
The interior of authentic Formula 1 helmets is made using fireproof foam. Those helmets have to follow the guidelines set on the FIA Standard 8860.
In an episode of “F1 Explains,” the co-CEO of Bell Racing, Stephane Cohen, explained the process of F1 helmets’ creation and the safety measures that must be met to ensure a great, protective helmet.
“It’s several elements but the two main elements of the helmets are: first, the outer shell, which is usually made of carbon fiber. And then, the inner energy-absorbing liner which is made of some sort of foam, usually expanded polystyrene foam, that is also known for its properties in terms of isolation.”
“The visor: the material itself, we go for whatever transparent material that will give you decent optical properties because it’s a curved lens that you have in front of your eyes, so you don’t want to distort what the driver is seeing in front of him. Safety first. We need the best material to resist impact, potential objects hitting the visor, very sharp objects. So usually we use some sort of polycarbonate.”
Bell provides F1 helmets to most of the current Formula 1 grid, including drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Fernando Alonso. They also provided helmets to legends like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.
Advantages of Premium Replica Materials
We do not take our materials lightly and we’ll always strive to improve any detail in our helmets in terms of safety and durability of the helmet.
Using the best and proper materials will ensure that we provide our Happy Customers with a helmet that will be both safe and durable to withstand racing situations and more.
Key Features of Full-Scale Helmets
Our full-scale Formula 1 replica helmets are both incredibly beautiful and also true to the original designs. Not only in terms of paint, but we also provide exact helmet shells to our Happy Customers.
Due to that fact, any of our Happy Customers can buy an original F1 helmet visor and it will fit our replicas smoothly.
That’s how great our replicas are.
Crafting a Formula 1 Replica Helmet: The Process
We manufacture every aspect of our Formula 1 helmets. The outer shell is made from nautical resin and fiberglass and it’s true to the original helmets in terms of size and shapes.
Regarding the interior, we focus on high-quality impact-absorbing foam, while offering you the stylistic option of choosing your preferred color for that area of the F1 helmet.
Assembly and Finishing Touches
Once we have a true helmet shell made, the design and painting process will start. We’ll assemble the helmet once every aspect of the paint and logos has been added, and will complete the helmet with our visors.
The finishing touches of the paint include three layers of clear coat with a bright polish, ensuring that there’s no “orange skin” effect on your Formula 1 helmet.
High-End Replicas vs. Budget Models
We have the world’s best Formula 1 replica helmets on the market and we’re glad that our Happy Customer community continues to grow year after year.
