What the GT5 Sport is
The GT5 Sport is a versatile modern helmet designed mainly for entry level racers who want quality and performance at a sensible price. It is a good first helmet for someone coming into the sport on a budget.
It is approved to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2015. The shell is a fibreglass composite with a multi-density liner inside, and there are ventilation ports to keep air moving through the helmet.
The wide eye port gives a good field of vision. It comes with a double screen anti-fog visor for open cockpit cars, and it works just as well in a closed car.
Bell also offers a peak, sold separately, that turns the GT5 Sport into an open helmet with the protection of a full face shell.
HANS posts and bundle items
The GT5 Sport is available with HANS posts fitted, so it can be used with a HANS device. We recommend using one with this helmet for the extra safety and support it gives, especially at more serious events.
Every Bell helmet on our site has bundle items attached that suit it: HANS devices, and fireproof balaclavas for comfort under the helmet. Our guide to which HANS device you need will help you choose, and our guide to FIA and Snell standards explains the approvals.

The step up: the Bell GT6 Pro
If you want something further up the range, the Bell GT6 Pro is a modern, aggressive helmet that suits closed cockpit racers. The shell is a strong, lightweight mix of carbon fibre and fibreglass.
Inside, it has a multi-density fire retardant lining, with ventilation slots that can connect to an external cooling system. Garreth’s advice is to try the two side by side if you can, because the fit of a helmet matters as much as the spec.
