How to choose a collectible F1 replica helmet

What Is an F1 Replica Helmet?

A replica Formula 1 helmet represents real F1 helmets in their full size. As opposed to some other scale replicas, our F1 helmets can be worn, since they are true-to-size versions.

Full-Size F1 Replica Helmets vs. Mini Helmets

While 1:5 helmets and other smaller versions are a solid option for many F1 fans who want to adorn their office or their mancave, our 1:1 replicas are the best option because you can even wear your favorite F1 helmets to compete or ride a bike.

The bigger size of the helmets also allows artists to replicate every detail exactly as in the original design.

What Makes a Collectible F1 Replica Helmet Special?

F1 replica helmets are special because they take your F1 fandom to another level. Owning a true-to-size replica allows you to do many different things that are enjoyable, such as wearing the helmet to your own races or adding an original visor to the helmet.

How F1 Replica Helmets Are Made

Clearly, the first step to creating an F1 replica is collecting as many views as possible of the original design to recreate every detail exactly as in the original helmet.

After figuring out how and where every detail of the design must be positioned, the painting process will start.

One of the biggest aspects of our Formula 1 helmets is the fact that we will ensure your design gets the best finish possible. We will not allow our paints to have ‘orange effect’ or anything similar, and the finish will be exactly as you want it, whether it is glossy or matte.

Materials and Craftsmanship

All our Formula 1 helmets are made of nautical resin and fiberglass, ensuring we offer you the lightest and strongest helmets in the market.

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.

Best Practices for Displaying Your Helmet

If you simply decide to display your replica F1 helmet for exhibition, purchasing an acrylic case is quite a nice option to display your Formula 1 helmets.

Obviously, the box isn’t really needed to make the helmet look better, but it will help keep it clean.
