Sparco Air Pro RF-5W Martini Racing Helmets Are On Their Way
Coming soon, July 2021
We are waiting on a delivery of Sparco Air Pro RF-5W helmets in Martini Racing colours, and we are looking forward to getting them out of the boxes. The white, red and blue Martini stripes are one of the best known liveries in motorsport, and they suit the shape of this helmet well.
Underneath the paint it is the RF-5W, a helmet we already know well from the showroom. Here is what is coming, and what you get.
- Sparco Air Pro RF-5W full face helmets in Martini Racing colours
- Two Martini designs: a striped version and one with the roundel on the back
- Approved to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2015
- HANS posts fitted at the factory
- Fibreglass shell reinforced with carbon and Kevlar
What is on this page
The Martini designs
Sparco make the RF-5W in more than one Martini Racing design. The striped version has the blue and red Martini stripes running over the top and around the shell, with a red lower half. The other carries the Martini roundel on the back.
Our pick is the stripe. On the RF-5W shell it looks like it belongs on a Martini car, which is more than you can say for a lot of replica liveries.
The helmet underneath
The Martini paint goes on Sparco’s Air Pro RF-5W. It is a fibreglass shell reinforced with carbon and Kevlar, approved to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2015, so it is a proper race helmet as well as a good looking one.
The visor adjusts for a clear view, the EPS liner is shaped to move air through the helmet, and the flame retardant lining comes out for washing. There is room inside for a drinks system, and the HANS posts are fitted at the factory, so it is ready for a head restraint straight out of the box.
If you want to know what the two approvals mean, our guide to FIA and Snell helmet standards explains them.

Who it is for
Anyone racing a closed car who wants an approved full face helmet and likes a classic livery. Because the HANS posts are already fitted, it pairs straight away with a head restraint, and our guide on which HANS device you need helps with that side.
Sizing is the same as the plain RF-5W, so if you have tried one of ours on, you know your size. If not, Garreth would always say try one on first, or start with our guide to measuring for a helmet.
