The Arai CK - 6 Junior Karting Helmet is certified with the Snell - FIA CMH 2016 standard for children's motorsport. It was among the first globally to gain CIK - FIA CMH approval. Ideal for junior kart racers who find adult - sized SK - 6 helmets too heavy, this helmet offers top - notch safety features just like other Arai auto - racing helmets. The SRC or Special Resin Construction makes it both lightweight and comfortable for young drivers. With two intake and two exhaust vents, it ensures excellent ventilation on the track. One of its best features is the removable and replaceable cheek pads, which means the helmet can adapt as the junior driver grows. Note that it requires a different shield, pivot kit, and tear - offs compared to other Arai models. The Snell - FIA CMH 2016 standard is designed specifically for children in motorsport, not just a scaled - down adult helmet. It's for head circumferences under 60 cms. Kids with larger heads should choose SA and K standards. The CMH standard has different max weight limits based on size, with 1300 grams for sizes 57 - 59 cms and 1100 grams for sizes 49 cms and under.
Using the Arai CK - 6 Junior Karting Helmet is easy. First, make sure it fits properly on your head. Adjust the removable cheek pads to get a snug fit. When you're on the kart track, the vents will keep you cool. After each use, take the helmet off carefully. Don't leave it in a hot place like a closed car, as it can damage the materials. Clean the helmet regularly with a mild soap and water. For the cheek pads, you can remove them and wash them according to the instructions. Also, remember that this helmet needs specific shields, pivot kits, and tear - offs, so always use the right parts for it. If the helmet gets involved in a crash, replace it right away, as its safety may be compromised.
