Bell M.8 Carbon Helmet, Snell SA2020, FIA 8859

Brand: Bell Racing

The M.8 Carbon is the latest addition to the classic Bell "M" helmet family. The M.8 Carbon is perfect for drivers who wears glasses. Features a very large eyeport opening for easy access, with adjustable forehead vents to help reduce fogging. The M.8 Carbon replaces the popular M.4 (and the earlier M2), with the same extra-large eye opening. The M.8 Carbon features a full carbon-fiber shell. Certified for use with HANS® Devices, with industry-standard M6 female threaded inserts for HANS® anchors factory-installed (anchors sold separately). Available in carbon fiber color only (the carbon weave shows through the clear epoxy resin). Includes a drawstring helmet bag, a clear face shield with a black visor strip, and a hex wrench for the shield hardware. Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859 approved.

SA2020 is the latest Snell Foundation rating for automotive racing helmets. This helmet rating has been developed to provide the best safety protection for auto racing drivers who are restrained in their vehicles. SA2020 helmets are tested for flame retardance, and additional tests ensure compatibility with HANS® Devices. An SA-rated helmet may not meet DOT specifications for street use, such as on motorcycles.

SIZING: Helmets should fit as snug as possible without causing discomfort. Measure head circumference around the largest part of the head approximately one inch above the eyebrows and just above the ears. If a one or two layer Nomex hood will be worn with the helmet, it should be worn when measuring head circumference. If a hood is not available, add about 1/4 inch to the circumference measurement for a single layer hood and 1/2 inch for a double layer hood.
