    I use a GP6S which comes equipped with HANS.

    Unless you are racing a car ( now and in future )…..its extra cost which you can spend elsewhere. I paid close to 4K for the helmet, no spoiler, clear visor.

    GP6….would be almost double this price!

    No idea on SK6…..we use the SK5 and the last I recall is it sold here 2nd hand for around RM1800. No visor, no spoiler too……and the iridum visor cost around Rm700.

    You can ask Bombe in this forum to quote u or Kok Seng for the same. Alternatively – u may want shop in HK…..and bring in yourself.

    if you’re going to use for karting only, then the sk-5 sounds like a good deal. like jules mentioned, a brand new one would cost around 1800. so 600 is a steal if its in good condition.
    just make sure the helmet fits you correctly and has never been dropped or been in a heavy impact.
    what is the snell rating on the helmet. is it a k2005 or k2000.

    the gp6 is based off the gp6rc (f1-helmet) except with a different material.
    gp6 and gp6s differences are material, weight, and vent layout.
    the gp6 is lighter and made of a slightly different material than the gp6s
    it also costs almost twice the price. both the gp6 and gp6s are racing helmets so i don’t think u need them if its only for karting.
